Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in U.S. Community Practice--Results From Outcomes Registry for Better Informed Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (ORBIT-AF).
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-05-21)
BACKGROUND: The characteristics of patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation
and subsequent outcomes in community practice are not well described. METHODS AND
RESULTS: Using the Outcomes Registry for Better Informed ...
Sex-based differences in outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction: a report from TRANSLATE-ACS.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2014-02-07)
BACKGROUND: Data regarding sex-based outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) for myocardial infarction are mixed. We sought to examine whether sex differences
in outcomes exist in contemporary practice. METHODS ...
Contemporary trends and predictors of postacute service use and routine discharge home after stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Returning home after the hospital is a primary aim for healthcare; however,
additional postacute care (PAC) services are sometimes necessary for returning stroke
patients to their pre-event status. Recent trends ...
Early adoption of dabigatran and its dosing in US patients with atrial fibrillation: results from the outcomes registry for better informed treatment of atrial fibrillation.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-11-25)
BACKGROUND: Dabigatran is a novel oral anticoagulant approved for thromboprophylaxis
in atrial fibrillation. Adoption patterns of this new agent in community practice
are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied patterns ...
Racial differences in the prevalence and outcomes of atrial fibrillation among patients hospitalized with heart failure.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-09-26)
BACKGROUND: The intersection of heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) is
common, but the burden of AF among black patients with HF is poorly characterized.
We sought to determine the prevalence of AF, characteristics, ...
How Reliable are Patient-Reported Rehospitalizations? Implications for the Design of Future Practical Clinical Studies.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2016-01-25)
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal clinical investigations often rely on patient reports to
screen for postdischarge adverse outcomes events, yet few studies have examined the
accuracy of such patient reports. METHODS AND RESULTS: ...
The ORBIT bleeding score: a simple bedside score to assess bleeding risk in atrial fibrillation.
(Eur Heart J, 2015-12-07)
BACKGROUND: Therapeutic decisions in atrial fibrillation (AF) are often influenced
by assessment of bleeding risk. However, existing bleeding risk scores have limitations.
OBJECTIVES: We sought to develop and validate a ...
A risk score for in-hospital death in patients admitted with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2013-01-28)
BACKGROUND: We aimed to derive and validate a single risk score for predicting death
from ischemic stroke (IS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage
(SAH). METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from 333 865 stroke ...
Population impact of a high cardiovascular risk management program delivered by village doctors in rural China: design and rationale of a large, cluster-randomized controlled trial.
(BMC Public Health, 2014-04-11)
BACKGROUND: The high-risk strategy has been proven effective in preventing cardiovascular
disease; however, the population benefits from these interventions remain unknown.
This study aims to assess, at the population level, ...
