Unidad de Revisiones Sistemáticas y Meta-análisis (URSIGET), Vicerrectorado de Investigación, Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola. Lima, Peru; Health Outcomes, Policy and Evidence synthesis (HOPES) Group, University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy. Storrs, CT, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of scheduled second-look endoscopy compared to a single endoscopy for treating patients with acute peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB).
- Researchers reviewed multiple databases for randomized controlled trials, focusing on outcomes like rebleeding, surgery needs, mortality rates, and blood transfusions.
- Results indicated no significant differences in rebleeding rates or other outcomes between the two methods, leading to the conclusion that routine second-look endoscopy does not offer additional benefits over single endoscopy for PUB patients.

Objective: To characterize the burden of illness associated with oral factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor-related bleeding in the US Medicare population.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study used the full 20% Medicare random sample claims database to identify patients who experienced their first hospitalization for an FXa inhibitor-related major bleed between October 2013 and September 2017. Bleeding types were classified as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), gastrointestinal (GI), and other.
Advancing pediatric antimicrobial stewardship: Has pharmacodynamic dosing for gram-negative infections taken effect?

December 2021
University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy Storrs, Connecticut.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how children's hospitals are implementing pharmacodynamic dosing strategies for antibiotics, particularly β-lactams and fluoroquinolones, through a nationwide survey involving antimicrobial stewardship programs.
- Findings showed that while a significant percentage of hospitals reported using optimized dosing methods for β-lactams, these practices were not widespread, influenced by factors like routine monitoring and the training of pharmacists in these hospitals.
- The research highlights the need for more guidance and education on the effective use of pharmacodynamic dosing in pediatric care, as current practices remain inconsistent and underutilized.
Background There is a paucity of contemporary data estimating the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with established atherosclerotic disease or multiple risk factors managed in routine practice. We estimated 1- and 4-year incidences of MACE and the association between MACE and vascular beds affected in these patients. Methods and Results Using US IBM MarketScan data from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017, we identified patients ≥45 years old with established coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, or the presence of ≥3 risk factors for atherosclerosis during 2013 with a minimum of 4 years of follow-up.
