Abstract
Background:
D-dimer has been evaluated as an independent marker of ischemic stroke. The non-existence of a clear consensus and pooled data about the use of D-dimer as a predictive biomarker for assessing the risk of stroke recurrence led us to perform this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods:
Studies reporting the risk of stroke recurrence with varying degrees of high D-dimer levels were screened through August 2021 using PubMed/Medline, Scopus, EMBASE and Web of Science databases and relevant keywords. Random effects models by Dersimonian & Laird were used for meta-analysis and subgroup analysis. I
2
statistics were used for heterogeneity assessment. The leave-one-out method was used for sensitivity analysis.
Results:
This systematic review included 5040 patients from 9 studies consisting of >60% males. There was a high burden of cardiovascular comorbidities, smoking and diabetes in stroke patients with or without associated diagnoses and high D-dimer levels. Compared to low D-dimer levels, higher plasma D-dimer levels were associated with ~80% (aOR 1.79, 95% CI: 1.24-2.59) increased risk of stroke recurrence. The odds of stroke recurrence were significantly high in the stroke cohorts including patients with mean age <70 years (OR 2.44, 95%CI:1.00-5.94, p<0.05) with high D-dimer levels
(Fig. 1)
. In addition, elevated D-dimer levels showed a robust association for stroke recurrence in studies with higher sample size (n>500 vs. n<500: OR 2.48, 95%CI:1.18-5.19, p<0.05) and studies reporting late recurrence (vs. early recurrence: ≥1 month vs <1 month: OR 2.07, 95%CI:1.23-2.55, p<0.01).
Conclusion:
This meta-analysis showed that high D-dimer levels were associated with nearly 80% higher odds of stroke recurrence irrespective of the etiology of index stroke events. Stronger associations were seen in studies with a mean age <70 years and a higher sample size. Late-onset recurrence had a stronger association with high D-dimer levels compared to early-onset.

Abstract
Background:
Health equity and the reduced socioeconomic gap between communities are the main objectives of healthcare delivery in the US with a shifting focus towards social determinants of health. We aimed to compare stroke hospitalizations and outcomes in young patients with low median household income (LMHI) across two national cohorts a decade apart (2007 vs. 2017).
Methods:
We used National Inpatient Sample (2007 & 2017) to identify young-onset stroke hospitalizations (18-44 years, YOS) belonging to LMHI (0-25th quartile) using relevant codes. Demographics, comorbidities, adjusted risk of YOS and outcomes were compared between two cohorts.
Results:
Of 34249 LMHI YOS admissions, 13749 belonged to 2007 and 20500 to 2017 (median age 39 vs 38 years, p<0.001). The risk of YOS was 30% higher in 2017 young LMHI admissions than in 2007 when adjusted for socio-demographics and comorbidities (aOR 1.30, 95%CI:1.27-1.34, p<0.001)
(Table 1).
Gender distribution was comparable for YOS between 2007 and 2017. The 2017 YOS cohort often consisted of white (38.4 vs 33.3%), non-elective admissions (94.9 vs 91.1%) and often had cardiovascular comorbidities and concomitant smoking (42.4 vs 26.9%); whereas lower rates of alcohol (5.5% vs. 8.7%) and drug abuse (12.1 vs. 16%) than in 2007 (p<0.001). Though adjusted all-cause mortality was comparable between the two cohorts (aOR 0.91, 95%CI:0.82-1.00, p=0.054) with shortened stay (5 vs. 4 days) and fewer transfers in 2017; adjusted hospital costs were higher in 2017 (p<0.001).
Conclusion:
There was an alarming 30% higher risk of YOS admissions in patients from the LMHI quartile across 2 national cohorts a decade apart in the US without any significant improvement in mortality odds when controlled for confounders. Our analysis indicates the need for the adoption and propagation of preventive measures and vigilance to lessen CVD and YOS risk, improve health outcomes and decrease healthcare costs among young patients from LMHI quartile.

Abstract
Background:
Underrepresentation of females in clinical trials and paucity of data on young-onset stroke incited us to review two national cohorts a decade apart to assess the frequency and odds of stroke admissions and inpatient mortality and associated racial disparities in young females.
Methods:
We queried weighted data from the National Inpatient Sample (2017 & 2007) to identify stroke admissions in young females (18-44 years). Stroke admissions and mortality rates among young females were compared between different race groups for 2017 vs. 2007. Multivariable regression was performed to determine the difference in risk of stroke admissions and inpatient mortality with associated racial distinctions between 2017 & 2007.
Results:
Young women's stroke admissions from 2017 and 2007 increased from 0.3% (n=20009/7,746,732) in 2007 to 0.5% (n=28885/6,268,570) in 2017 (p<0.001). Adjusted analysis for covariates showed nearly 50% increased risk of stroke admissions in young women in 2017 vs 2007 (aOR:1.48; 95%CI:1.44-1.51, p<0.001). Comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes, vascular disease, obesity, smoking, atrial fibrillation were more prevalent in 2017 vs 2007 (p<0.001). Notwithstanding the increased admissions, inpatient mortality risk decreased by 35% in 2017 (aOR:0.65; 95%CI:0.60-0.71, p<0.001). Assessing racial disparities in young women, we found that white and Native Americans demonstrated the highest increase in stroke admissions, whereas Hispanic and Asian-Pacific Islanders did not show an improvement in survival odds in 2017 vs. 2007
[Figure 1]
.
Conclusion:
The risk of stroke admissions among young women increased nearly 50% in 2017 vs. 2007 with all races showing a rise in hospitalizations. Reassuringly, advanced therapeutics helped with the overall reduction of inpatient mortality; however, persistent racial disparities in survival odds warrant a more inclusive approach for primary preventive strides and healthcare delivery.

Abstract
Background:
COVID-19, being a prothrombotic state, has been linked to ischemic infarcts. Pooled data on impact of COVID-related stroke on mortality are sparse. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the risk of stroke-related inpatient mortality (SRIM) during the COVID pandemic vs. pre-pandemic.
Methods:
Pubmed/Medline, SCOPUS & EMBASE were searched for articles till August 2021 reporting stroke and SRIM during COVID-19 pandemic vs. pre-pandemic. Random-effects model for odds ratio (OR), I
2
statistics for heterogeneity assessment and leave-one-out method for sensitivity analysis were employed.
Results:
A total of 31 studies with 455,073 stroke hospitalizations; 365253 pre-pandemic and 89820 pandemics (mean age 72 vs 70 yrs) were analyzed. With a comparable distribution of males, AF, and thrombolysis, the meta-analysis showed a nearly 40% higher risk of mortality during pandemic vs. pre-pandemic admissions (OR 1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.92, p=0.018, I

=98.59). Further subgroup analysis showed a slightly higher risk of mortality in cohorts with mean age <70 years of age vs. ≥70 yrs [mean <70 years (n=11): OR:1.48, p=0.020 vs. ≥70 years (n=17): OR:1.27, p<0.001]. Cross-continental subgroup analysis revealed significantly higher mortality in Europe (n=14, OR:1.31, p<0.001) during pandemic vs. pre-pandemic, and non-significantly higher association in Asia (OR 1.13, p=0.57), USA (OR 1.59, p=0.23), Africa (OR 1.20, p=0.46)
(Fig. 1).
Subgroup analysis of 16 studies with n=100-1000 showed significantly higher OR (1.31) for SRIM during the pandemic vs. pre-pandemic, whereas studies with n<100 or >1000 did not show any significant difference. Sensitivity analysis showed overall and subgroup stability in OR.
Conclusions:
This largest meta-analysis to date on the subject found that hospitalized stroke patients, elderly or non-elderly, had nearly 40% higher risk of mortality during the COVID pandemic vs. pre-COVID era across the globe, more significantly in Europe.

Abstract
Background:
Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is more prevalent in the young population and cannabis use has been linked to an increased risk of first-time stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Prevalence and risk of recurrent stroke in patients with prior stroke/TIA in cannabis users are not clearly established.
Methods:
Using weighted data from the National Inpatient Sample (2015 October-2017 December) and pertinent ICD-10 codes, we identified hospitalizations among young (18-44 years) patients with prior history of stroke/TIA grouped into those with CUD+ and those without (CUD-). We compared the frequency (with disparities based on gender, race, hospital region and median household income) and odds of subsequent/recurrent stroke in young adults (18-44 years) with vs without cannabis use (CUD+ vs. CUD-) and prior history of stroke/TIA.
Results:
Young adult hospitalizations with prior stroke/TIA were 4690 in the CUD+ arm, and 156700 in CUD- arm (median age 37 years in both cohorts). The CUD+ cohort often consisted of males (55.2% vs. 40.2%), African Americans (44.6% vs. 37.2%), and patients with higher rates of concomitant substance abuse, COPD, depression and psychoses, and a lower rate of cardiovascular comorbidities compared to the CUD- cohort (p<0.001)
[Table 1a].
The CUD+ arm had considerably higher rate (6.9 vs 5.4%)
[Table 1b]
and adjusted odds (aOR 1.48, 95 CI 1.28-1.71, p<0.001) of recurrent stroke than CUD- arm
[Table 1c]
. On subgroup comparison, admission among male (7.7% vs. 5.9%), white (6.6% vs. 5.1%), African American (8.0% vs. 5.2%), and admissions in low household income quartile (7.7% vs. 5.5%) patients, Northeast (6.1% vs. 4.4%) and Southern (7.6% vs. 5.7%) region hospitals showed higher rates of recurrent stroke with CUD+ vs. CUD- (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
The frequency and risk (~50% higher) of recurrent stroke were found to be significantly increased with disparities in subgroups among young adults with prior history of stroke/TIA and concomitant CUD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In estimating the global burden of cancer, adolescents and young adults with cancer are often overlooked, despite being a distinct subgroup with unique epidemiology, clinical care needs, and societal impact. Comprehensive estimates of the global cancer burden in adolescents and young adults (aged 15-39 years) are lacking. To address this gap, we analysed results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019, with a focus on the outcome of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), to inform global cancer control measures in adolescents and young adults. METHODS Using the GBD 2019 methodology, international mortality data were collected from vital registration systems, verbal autopsies, and population-based cancer registry inputs modelled with mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs). Incidence was computed with mortality estimates and corresponding MIRs. Prevalence estimates were calculated using modelled survival and multiplied by disability weights to obtain years lived with disability (YLDs). Years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated as age-specific cancer deaths multiplied by the standard life expectancy at the age of death. The main outcome was DALYs (the sum of YLLs and YLDs). Estimates were presented globally and by Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintiles (countries ranked and divided into five equal SDI groups), and all estimates were presented with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). For this analysis, we used the age range of 15-39 years to define adolescents and young adults. FINDINGS There were 1·19 million (95% UI 1·11-1·28) incident cancer cases and 396 000 (370 000-425 000) deaths due to cancer among people aged 15-39 years worldwide in 2019. The highest age-standardised incidence rates occurred in high SDI (59·6 [54·5-65·7] per 100 000 person-years) and high-middle SDI countries (53·2 [48·8-57·9] per 100 000 person-years), while the highest age-standardised mortality rates were in low-middle SDI (14·2 [12·9-15·6] per 100 000 person-years) and middle SDI (13·6 [12·6-14·8] per 100 000 person-years) countries. In 2019, adolescent and young adult cancers contributed 23·5 million (21·9-25·2) DALYs to the global burden of disease, of which 2·7% (1·9-3·6) came from YLDs and 97·3% (96·4-98·1) from YLLs. Cancer was the fourth leading cause of death and tenth leading cause of DALYs in adolescents and young adults globally. INTERPRETATION Adolescent and young adult cancers contributed substantially to the overall adolescent and young adult disease burden globally in 2019. These results provide new insights into the distribution and magnitude of the adolescent and young adult cancer burden around the world. With notable differences observed across SDI settings, these estimates can inform global and country-level cancer control efforts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of Jewish cultural and religious identity and denominational affiliation with interest in, intention to undertake and uptake of population-based BRCA (Breast Cancer Gene)-testing. DESIGN Cohort-study set within recruitment to GCaPPS-trial (ISRCTN73338115). SETTING London Ashkenazi-Jewish (AJ) population. POPULATION OR SAMPLE AJ men and women, >18 years. METHODS Participants were self-referred, and attended recruitment clinics (clusters) for pre-test counselling. Subsequently consenting individuals underwent BRCA testing. Participants self-identified to one Jewish denomination: Conservative/Liberal/Reform/Traditional/Orthodox/Unaffiliated. Validated scales measured Jewish Cultural-Identity (JI) and Jewish Religious-identity (JR). Four-item Likert-scales analysed initial 'interest' and 'intention to test' pre-counselling. Item-Response-Theory and graded-response models, modelled responses to JI and JR scales. Ordered/multinomial logistic regression modelling evaluated association of JI-scale, JR-scale and Jewish Denominational affiliation on interest, intention and uptake of BRCA testing. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Interest, intention, uptake of BRCA testing. RESULTS In all, 935 AJ women/men of mean age = 53.8 (S.D = 15.02) years, received pre-test education and counselling through 256 recruitment clinic clusters (median cluster size = 3). Denominational affiliations included Conservative/Masorti = 91 (10.2%); Liberal = 82 (9.2%), Reform = 135 (15.1%), Traditional = 212 (23.7%), Orthodox = 239 (26.7%); and Unaffiliated/Non-practising = 135 (15.1%). Overall BRCA testing uptake was 88%. Pre-counselling, 96% expressed interest and 60% intention to test. JI and JR scores were highest for Orthodox, followed by Conservative/Masorti, Traditional, Reform, Liberal and Unaffiliated Jewish denominations. Regression modelling showed no significant association between overall Jewish Cultural or Religious Identity with either interest, intention or uptake of BRCA testing. Interest, intention and uptake of BRCA testing was not significantly associated with denominational affiliation. CONCLUSIONS Jewish religious/cultural identity and denominational affiliation do not appear to influence interest, intention or uptake of population-based BRCA testing. BRCA testing was robust across all Jewish denominations. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Jewish cultural/religious factors do not affect BRCA testing, with robust uptake seen across all denominational affiliations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic valve myxoma is the rarest location of the most common primary tumour of cardiac origin. Because of the paucity of data, there is little known about their clinical presentation, diagnosis and complications. METHODS PUBMED, EMBASE, SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE were systematically searched to identify all published cases of aortic valve myxoma through October 2020. Descriptive statistics were used to report the data. RESULTS Aortic valve myxomas were more prevalent in young (mean age 41 years) male (75%) patients. It most commonly involved the right coronary cusp (50%). Cerebrovascular events (25%), dyspnoea (18.8%), and distal embolisation (18.8%) were found to be the most frequent complications. Echocardiography remains the diagnostic modality of choice in all cases, histopathology is used for confirmation. Most cases were treated with surgical excision (94%); concomitant aortic valve repair and mechanical aortic valve replacement were performed in 25% and 37.5% cases respectively. Sudden cardiac death was noted in one patient. CONCLUSION Aortic valve myxomas are more often than not discovered in the context of embolic phenomenon or dyspnoea. The most feared complication is stroke, although mortality remains low in surgically managed cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Documentation of patterns and long-term trends in mortality in young people, which reflect huge changes in demographic and social determinants of adolescent health, enables identification of global investment priorities for this age group. We aimed to analyse data on the number of deaths, years of life lost, and mortality rates by sex and age group in people aged 10-24 years in 204 countries and territories from 1950 to 2019 by use of estimates from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2019. METHODS We report trends in estimated total numbers of deaths and mortality rate per 100 000 population in young people aged 10-24 years by age group (10-14 years, 15-19 years, and 20-24 years) and sex in 204 countries and territories between 1950 and 2019 for all causes, and between 1980 and 2019 by cause of death. We analyse variation in outcomes by region, age group, and sex, and compare annual rate of change in mortality in young people aged 10-24 years with that in children aged 0-9 years from 1990 to 2019. We then analyse the association between mortality in people aged 10-24 years and socioeconomic development using the GBD Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite measure based on average national educational attainment in people older than 15 years, total fertility rate in people younger than 25 years, and income per capita. We assess the association between SDI and all-cause mortality in 2019, and analyse the ratio of observed to expected mortality by SDI using the most recent available data release (2017). FINDINGS In 2019 there were 1·49 million deaths (95% uncertainty interval 1·39-1·59) worldwide in people aged 10-24 years, of which 61% occurred in males. 32·7% of all adolescent deaths were due to transport injuries, unintentional injuries, or interpersonal violence and conflict; 32·1% were due to communicable, nutritional, or maternal causes; 27·0% were due to non-communicable diseases; and 8·2% were due to self-harm. Since 1950, deaths in this age group decreased by 30·0% in females and 15·3% in males, and sex-based differences in mortality rate have widened in most regions of the world. Geographical variation has also increased, particularly in people aged 10-14 years. Since 1980, communicable and maternal causes of death have decreased sharply as a proportion of total deaths in most GBD super-regions, but remain some of the most common causes in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia, where more than half of all adolescent deaths occur. Annual percentage decrease in all-cause mortality rate since 1990 in adolescents aged 15-19 years was 1·3% in males and 1·6% in females, almost half that of males aged 1-4 years (2·4%), and around a third less than in females aged 1-4 years (2·5%). The proportion of global deaths in people aged 0-24 years that occurred in people aged 10-24 years more than doubled between 1950 and 2019, from 9·5% to 21·6%. INTERPRETATION Variation in adolescent mortality between countries and by sex is widening, driven by poor progress in reducing deaths in males and older adolescents. Improving global adolescent mortality will require action to address the specific vulnerabilities of this age group, which are being overlooked. Furthermore, indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to jeopardise efforts to improve health outcomes including mortality in young people aged 10-24 years. There is an urgent need to respond to the changing global burden of adolescent mortality, address inequities where they occur, and improve the availability and quality of primary mortality data in this age group.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral fat deposit within the pericardial sac which surrounds the heart myocardium and coronary arteries. EAT volume has been demonstrated to be strongly associated with the development and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, but its measurement is subjective and challenging in practice.
Purpose
To develop a deep-learning approach for automated segmentation of EAT from routine CCTA scans, that could assist clinical interpretation of CCTA.
Methods
A deep-learning method using a 3D Residual-U-Net neural network architecture for 3D volumetric segmentation of CCTA data was created. The network was trained on a diverse sample of 1900 CCTAs, each manually segmented by a single expert, drawn from the UK sites of the Oxford Risk Factors And Non-invasive imaging (ORFAN) Study. Three iterations of feedback learning were used to fine tune the algorithm for the segmentation of the whole heart within the bounds of the pericardium. In each iteration, the machine analysed sets of 100–250 unannotated CCTAs unseen by the machine which were then corrected by experts. EAT volumes were calculated by automated thresholding of adipose tissue (−190HU through −30HU) from within the bound of the pericardial segment (Figure 1). The network was then applied to 817 unseen CCTAs from US sites of the ORFAN Study. These scans were also segmented for ground truth by two experts blind to all other data. Comparisons between machine vs expert total pericardial volume and EAT volume were made using Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC). The algorithm was then applied externally in 1588 CCTAs from the SCOTHEART trial (UK), and the EAT volume was automatically calculated for each case. Cross-sectional associations between standardised EAT volumes and prevalent AF and CAD were performed.
Results
Within both the internal (UK ORFAN sites) and external (USA ORFAN sites) validation cohorts correlation between human and machine segmented total pericardium and EAT was excellent, with CCC of 0.97 for both volumes (external validation cohort shown in Figure 2A). Utilising SCOTHEART CCTAs with automatically segmented EAT volumes, a multivariable-adjusted logistic regression model accounting for risk factors of age, sex, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, valvular disease, and previous heart surgery found that EAT volumes were significantly associated with prevalent AF, with odds ratio (OR) per 1 SD increase of EAT volume of 1.20 (95% CI, 1.06 to 1.44; P=0.03). A similar model for prevalent CAD, adjusted for age, sex, BMI, hypertension, non-HDL cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery calcium score resulted in an OR per 1 SD increase of EAT volume of 1.26 (95% CI, 1.10 to 1.45; P=0.001) (Figure 2B).
Conclusion
Highly accurate, reproducible, and instantaneous EAT volume quantification is possible utilising deep-learning detection of the whole human heart within the pericardial sac.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including data on their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based stroke care planning and resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised and comprehensive measurement of these metrics at global, regional, and national levels. METHODS We applied GBD 2019 analytical tools to calculate stroke incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and the population attributable fraction (PAF) of DALYs (with corresponding 95% uncertainty intervals [UIs]) associated with 19 risk factors, for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019. These estimates were provided for ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage, and all strokes combined, and stratified by sex, age group, and World Bank country income level. FINDINGS In 2019, there were 12·2 million (95% UI 11·0-13·6) incident cases of stroke, 101 million (93·2-111) prevalent cases of stroke, 143 million (133-153) DALYs due to stroke, and 6·55 million (6·00-7·02) deaths from stroke. Globally, stroke remained the second-leading cause of death (11·6% [10·8-12·2] of total deaths) and the third-leading cause of death and disability combined (5·7% [5·1-6·2] of total DALYs) in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, the absolute number of incident strokes increased by 70·0% (67·0-73·0), prevalent strokes increased by 85·0% (83·0-88·0), deaths from stroke increased by 43·0% (31·0-55·0), and DALYs due to stroke increased by 32·0% (22·0-42·0). During the same period, age-standardised rates of stroke incidence decreased by 17·0% (15·0-18·0), mortality decreased by 36·0% (31·0-42·0), prevalence decreased by 6·0% (5·0-7·0), and DALYs decreased by 36·0% (31·0-42·0). However, among people younger than 70 years, prevalence rates increased by 22·0% (21·0-24·0) and incidence rates increased by 15·0% (12·0-18·0). In 2019, the age-standardised stroke-related mortality rate was 3·6 (3·5-3·8) times higher in the World Bank low-income group than in the World Bank high-income group, and the age-standardised stroke-related DALY rate was 3·7 (3·5-3·9) times higher in the low-income group than the high-income group. Ischaemic stroke constituted 62·4% of all incident strokes in 2019 (7·63 million [6·57-8·96]), while intracerebral haemorrhage constituted 27·9% (3·41 million [2·97-3·91]) and subarachnoid haemorrhage constituted 9·7% (1·18 million [1·01-1·39]). In 2019, the five leading risk factors for stroke were high systolic blood pressure (contributing to 79·6 million [67·7-90·8] DALYs or 55·5% [48·2-62·0] of total stroke DALYs), high body-mass index (34·9 million [22·3-48·6] DALYs or 24·3% [15·7-33·2]), high fasting plasma glucose (28·9 million [19·8-41·5] DALYs or 20·2% [13·8-29·1]), ambient particulate matter pollution (28·7 million [23·4-33·4] DALYs or 20·1% [16·6-23·0]), and smoking (25·3 million [22·6-28·2] DALYs or 17·6% [16·4-19·0]). INTERPRETATION The annual number of strokes and deaths due to stroke increased substantially from 1990 to 2019, despite substantial reductions in age-standardised rates, particularly among people older than 70 years. The highest age-standardised stroke-related mortality and DALY rates were in the World Bank low-income group. The fastest-growing risk factor for stroke between 1990 and 2019 was high body-mass index. Without urgent implementation of effective primary prevention strategies, the stroke burden will probably continue to grow across the world, particularly in low-income countries.

Postgrad Med J 2021; 98:830-836. [PMID: 37063042 DOI: 10.1136/postgradmedj-2021-140735] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hospital quality improvement and hospital performance are commonly evaluated using parameters such as average length of stay (LOS), patient safety measures and rates of hospital readmission. Thirty-day readmission (30-DR) rates are widely used as a quality indicator and a quantifiable metric for hospitals since patients are often readmitted for the exacerbation of conditions from index admission. The quality of patient education and postdischarge care can influence readmission rates. We report the 30-DR rates of patients with asthma using a national dataset for the year 2013. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to assess the 30- day readmission (30-DR) rate as well as, the causes and predictors of readmissions. STUDY DESIGNS/METHODS Using the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) (2013), we identified primary discharge diagnoses of asthma by using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code '493'. Categorical and continuous variables were assessed by a χ2 test and a Student's t-test, respectively. The independent predictors of unplanned 30-DR were detected by multivariate analysis. We used sampling weights, which are provided in the NRD, to generate the national estimates. RESULTS There were 130 490 (weighted N=311 173) inpatient asthma admissions during 2013. The overall 30-DR for asthma was 11.9%. The associated factors for 30-DR were age 45-84 years (40.32% vs 29.05%; p<0.001), enrolment in Medicare (49.33% vs 30.61% p<0.001), extended LOS (mean, 4.40±0.06 vs 3.25±0.04 days; p<0.001), higher mean cost (US$8593.91 vs US$6741.31; p<0.001) and higher disposition against medical advice (DAMA) (4.14% vs 1.51%; p<0.001). The factors that increased the chance of 30-DR were advanced age (≥45-64 vs ≤17 years; OR 4.61, 95% CI 4.04 to 5.27, p<0.0001), male sex (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.26, p<0.0001), a higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.18, p<0.0001), DAMA (OR 2.32, 95% CI 2.08 to 2.59, p<0.0001), non-compliance with medication (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.46, p<0.0001), post-traumatic stress disorder (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.22 to 1.79, p<0.0001), alcohol use (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.27 to 1.65, p<0.0001), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.27, p<0.0001), obstructive sleep apnoea (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.18, p<0.0042) and hypertension (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.17, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We found that the overall 30-DR rate for asthma was 11.9% all-cause readmission. Major causes of 30-DR were asthma exacerbation (36.74%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (11.47%), respiratory failure (6.46%), non-specific pneumonia (6.19%), septicaemia (3.61%) and congestive heart failure (3.32%). One-fourth of the revisits occurred in the first week, while half of the revisits took place in the first 2 weeks. Education regarding illness and the importance of medicine compliance could play a significant role in preventing asthma-related readmission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With rising trends of prediabetes in the geriatric population, we aim to assess the impact of alcohol use disorder (AUD) on the outcomes of patients with prediabetes. METHODS Hospitalisations amongst the patients (≥65 years) with prediabetes were identified with a diagnosis of AUD and in-hospital stroke using the National Inpatient Sample database (2007-2014). We compared demographics, comorbidities, all-cause mortality, stroke rate and resource utilisation in the elderly prediabetes patients with vs without AUD. Primary outcomes of interest were all-cause mortality and stroke rate, whereas secondary outcomes were the length of stay (days), disposition and resource utilisation in the AUD cohort as compared to the non-AUD cohort. RESULTS We had a total of 1.7 million hospitalisations amongst elderly patients with prediabetes, 2.8% (n = 47 962) had AUD. The AUD cohort was more often younger (71 vs 77 years), male (74.1% vs 43.5%) and nonelectively (84.5% vs 78.3%) admitted than non-AUD cohort. The AUD cohort more often consisted of African Americans (9.0% vs 6.6%) and Hispanics (5.3% vs 5.1%) than non-AUD cohort. The AUD cohort showed higher rates of smoking, drug abuse, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coagulopathy, peripheral vascular disease and fluid-electrolyte disorders whereas a lower rate of cardiovascular risk factors than non-AUD cohort. All-cause mortality (4.4% vs 3.9%) and stroke (5.5% vs 4.8%, aOR 1.33, 95% CI 1.28-1.39) were significantly higher in the AUD cohort with prolonged stay, higher charges and frequent transfers than non-AUD cohort. CONCLUSION AUD in the elderly prediabetes patients increases the stroke risk by up to 33% which can adversely influence the survival rate and healthcare infrastructure.

Abstract
Our study aims to establish trends and frequencies of ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) among patients with chronic coronary total occlusion (CCTO). We identified CCTO hospitalizations with and without VTA using the National Inpatient Sample. A total of 911,579 CCTO-related hospitalizations were identified, with 92,450 (10.1%) encounters associated with VTA. The CCTO-VTA cohort showed higher all-cause mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 4.45, P < 0.001), longer hospital stays (6.8 vs 4.6 days; P < 0.001), and higher hospital charges ($117,382 vs $75,419; P < 0.001) compared to the CCTO non-VTA group. Rates and odds of cardiogenic shock (aOR = 4.19), venous thromboembolism (aOR = 2.09), respiratory failure (aOR = 2.85), and requirement of mechanical ventilation (aOR = 4.23) were higher in the CCTO-VTA group (P < 0.001). Over time, there was an increase in VTA (9.2% in 2010 to 12.1% in 2014) and all-cause mortality (7.5% in 2010 to 12.4% in 2014; P < 0.001). Trends in VTA among patients with CCTO increased by 4.8% for undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and by 2.5% for undergoing both percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting (P < 0.001). Occurrence of VTA among CCTO patients is associated with worse outcomes and higher resource utilization.

Abstract
To gain understanding of the burden of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with acutely decompensated diabetes mellitus (ADDM) on a large scale, we reviewed data on ADDM patients and subtypes of arrhythmias from the National Inpatient Sample from 2010 to 2014. The frequency and prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias were measured, as well as outcomes. Among 874,107 hospitalized ADDM patients identified, 87,970 (10.1%) developed arrhythmias. The ADDM-arrhythmia cohort showed higher all-cause mortality (1.4% vs 0.3%; adjusted odds ratio 2.58, 95% confidence interval 2.39-2.79, P < 0.001), prolonged hospital stays (4.2 ± 4.8 vs 3.3 ± 3.4 days), and higher hospital charges ($32,609 vs $23,741) compared to those without arrhythmias (P < 0.001). The prevalence of supraventricular arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, and atrial flutter) and ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation) was 2965 and 446 per 100,000 ADDM-related hospitalizations, respectively. The prevalence of any arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in ADDM patients increased by 20.4% and 38.1%, respectively. The highest increase in the prevalence of arrhythmia among ADDM patients was observed in adults aged 18 to 44 years (22.5%).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measuring routine childhood vaccination is crucial to inform global vaccine policies and programme implementation, and to track progress towards targets set by the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) and Immunization Agenda 2030. Robust estimates of routine vaccine coverage are needed to identify past successes and persistent vulnerabilities. Drawing from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020, Release 1, we did a systematic analysis of global, regional, and national vaccine coverage trends using a statistical framework, by vaccine and over time. METHODS For this analysis we collated 55 326 country-specific, cohort-specific, year-specific, vaccine-specific, and dose-specific observations of routine childhood vaccination coverage between 1980 and 2019. Using spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression, we produced location-specific and year-specific estimates of 11 routine childhood vaccine coverage indicators for 204 countries and territories from 1980 to 2019, adjusting for biases in country-reported data and reflecting reported stockouts and supply disruptions. We analysed global and regional trends in coverage and numbers of zero-dose children (defined as those who never received a diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis [DTP] vaccine dose), progress towards GVAP targets, and the relationship between vaccine coverage and sociodemographic development. FINDINGS By 2019, global coverage of third-dose DTP (DTP3; 81·6% [95% uncertainty interval 80·4-82·7]) more than doubled from levels estimated in 1980 (39·9% [37·5-42·1]), as did global coverage of the first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1; from 38·5% [35·4-41·3] in 1980 to 83·6% [82·3-84·8] in 2019). Third-dose polio vaccine (Pol3) coverage also increased, from 42·6% (41·4-44·1) in 1980 to 79·8% (78·4-81·1) in 2019, and global coverage of newer vaccines increased rapidly between 2000 and 2019. The global number of zero-dose children fell by nearly 75% between 1980 and 2019, from 56·8 million (52·6-60·9) to 14·5 million (13·4-15·9). However, over the past decade, global vaccine coverage broadly plateaued; 94 countries and territories recorded decreasing DTP3 coverage since 2010. Only 11 countries and territories were estimated to have reached the national GVAP target of at least 90% coverage for all assessed vaccines in 2019. INTERPRETATION After achieving large gains in childhood vaccine coverage worldwide, in much of the world this progress was stalled or reversed from 2010 to 2019. These findings underscore the importance of revisiting routine immunisation strategies and programmatic approaches, recentring service delivery around equity and underserved populations. Strengthening vaccine data and monitoring systems is crucial to these pursuits, now and through to 2030, to ensure that all children have access to, and can benefit from, lifesaving vaccines.

Frequency, Trend, Predictors, and Impact of Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Atrial Fibrillation Hospitalizations. Am J Cardiol 2021; 146:29-35. [PMID: 33529616 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2021.01.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Revised: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Anticoagulation alone or in combination with other treatment strategies are implemented to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a common complication of oral anticoagulation with a prevalence of 1% to 3% in patients on long term oral anticoagulation. We analyzed the national inpatient sample database from the year 2005 to 2015 to report evidence on the frequency, trends, predictors, clinical outcomes, and economic burden of GIB among AF hospitalizations. A total of 34,260,000 AF hospitalizations without GIB and 1,846,259 hospitalizations with GIB (5.39%) were included. The trend of AF hospitalizations with GIB per 100 AF hospitalizations remained stable from the year 2005 to 2015 (p value = 0.0562). AF hospitalizations with GIB had a higher frequency of congestive heart failure, long term kidney disease, long term liver disease, anemia, and alcohol abuse compared with AF hospitalizations without GIB. AF hospitalizations with GIB had a higher odds of in-hospital mortality (Odds ratio (OR) 1.47; 95% Confidence interval (CI): 1.46 to 1.48, p-value <0.0001), mechanical ventilation (OR 1.69; 95% CI: 1.68 to 1.70, p-value <0.0001), and blood transfusion (OR 7.2; 95% CI: 7.17 to 7.22, P-value <0.0001) compared with AF hospitalizations without GIB. AF hospitalizations with GIB had a lower odds of stroke (OR 0.51; 95% CI: 0.51 to 0.52, p-value <0.0001) compared with AF hospitalizations without GIB. Further, AF hospitalizations with GIB had a higher median length of stay and cost of hospitalization compared with AF hospitalizations without GIB. In conclusion, the frequency of GIB is 5.4% in AF hospitalizations and the frequency of GIB remained stable in the last decade as shown in this analysis. When GIB occurs, it is associated with higher resource utilization. This study addresses a significant knowledge gap highlighting national temporal trends of GIB and associated outcomes in AF hospitalizations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We performed a meta-analysis on observational studies since randomized control trials are not available. We studied intracoronary brachytherapy (ICBT) and recurrent drug eluting stent in-stent restenosis (DES-ISR) to evaluate the procedural success, target lesion revascularization (TLR), incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and all-cause mortality at 2 years follow-up.
AIM To perform meta-analysis for patients undergoing ICBT for recurrent DES-ISR.
METHODS We performed a systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane and DARE databases to identify relevant articles. Studies were excluded if intra-coronary brachytherapy was used as a treatment modality for initial ISR and studies with bare metal stents. We used a random-effect model with DerSimonian & Laird method to calculate summary estimates. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2 statistics.
RESULTS A total of 6 observational studies were included in the final analysis. Procedural angiographic success following intra-coronary brachytherapy was 99.8%. Incidence of MI at 1-year was 2% and 4.1% at 2-years, respectively. The incidence of TLR 14.1% at 1-year and 22.7% at 2-years, respectively. All-cause mortality at 1- and 2-year follow-up was 3% and 7.5%, respectively.
CONCLUSION Given the observational nature of the studies included in the analysis, heterogeneity was significantly higher for outcomes. While there are no randomized controlled trials or definitive guidelines available for recurrent ISR associated with DES, this analysis suggests that brachytherapy might be the alternative approach for recurrent DES-ISR. Randomized controlled trials are required to confirm results from this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Corona Virus 19 (COVID-19) infection is associated with worse outcomes in blacks, although the mechanisms are unclear. We sought to determine the significance of black race, pre-existing cardiovascular disease (pCVD), and acute kidney injury (AKI) on cardiopulmonary outcomes and in-hospital mortality of COVID-19 patients. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of blacks with/without pCVD and with/without in-hospital AKI, hospitalized within Grady Memorial Hospital in Georgia between February and July 2020, who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on qualitative polymerase-chain-reaction assay. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital cardiac events. RESULTS Of the 293 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in this study, 71 were excluded from the primary analysis (for race/ethnicity other than black non-Hispanic). Of the 222 hospitalized COVID-19 patients included in our analyses, 41.4% were female, 78.8% had pCVD, and 30.6% developed AKI during the admission. In multivariable analyses, pCVD (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.5-14.8, P=0.008) and AKI (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.3-5.5, P=0.006) were associated with increased odds of in-hospital cardiac events. AKI was associated with increased odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 8.9, 95% CI 3.3-23.9, P<0.0001). The presence of AKI was associated with increased odds of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). CONCLUSION pCVD and AKI were associated with higher risk of in-hospital cardiac events, and AKI was associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality in blacks.

Abstract
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been linked to a myriad of cardiac symptoms and disorders. Reports also suggest decreased hospital visits by patients with known cardiovascular disorders. Methodology To better elucidate the public interest in the information regarding “chest pain” during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a Google Trends analysis from March 2019 to March 2021 to compare the internet searches between pre-COVID era and during the pandemic with country-wise [the United States (US) versus the United Kingdom (UK) versus India] variation. Results We observed a significantly rising public interest in “chest pain” internet searches during the peak COVID-19 pandemic. Rising trends were most prominent in the UK, followed by USA and India. Our analysis noted a spike in the trend of “chest pain” search in early March in the UK and USA, whereas in March and June 2020 for India. This shows an important temporal association between the surge of COVID-19 cases and the search for “chest pain” online. Conclusion Google Trends analyses indicate rising public interest in chest pain during the pandemic months and the possible association between COVID-19 and chest pain. These findings warrant further research, especially with increasing reports suggesting contradictory reports of decreased hospital visits by patients with known cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can be associated with complications, including precipitation of peri-procedural myocardial ischemia. However, data regarding the trends and impact of previous myocardial infarction (MI) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on ERCP outcomes remains unknown. Methods Using the National Inpatient Sample (2007-2014) and relevant ICD-9-CM codes, we identified adults who underwent ERCP with (Group 1) and without (Group 2) prior history of MI/PCI/CABG, and compared their demographics, comorbidities, and inpatient outcomes. Primary endpoints were inpatient mortality and post-ERCP complications. The secondary endpoints were discharge disposition, the mean length of stay, and total hospital charges. Results Of 1,374,773 ERCP procedures performed, 120,418 (8.8%) were performed in adult patients with a prior history of MI/PCI/CABG with an increasing trend from 2007-2014 (7.5% to 9.5%, ptrend=0.022). Group 1 consisted of older, white, males compared to Group 2. Group 1 demonstrated a higher prevalence of all-cause mortality (1.7% vs. 1.5%, p<0.001), other cardiovascular comorbidities, post-ERCP cardiopulmonary complications (5.6% vs. 3.8%, p<0.001), sepsis (10.2% vs. 8.2%, p<0.001) and hemorrhage (1.5% vs.1.2%, p<0.001) as compared to Group 2. However, post-ERCP pancreatitis (14.1% vs. 15.4%, p<0.001) was lower in Group 1 without any difference in frequency of cholecystitis (0.4% vs. 0.4%, p=0.180). The mean length of stay was marginally higher in Group 1, without any difference in the hospitalization charges between the groups. Conclusions This nationwide study revealed higher inpatient mortality, sepsis, and hemorrhage in adult patients who underwent ERCP with a prior history of MI/PCI/CABG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atrial Fibrillation (AF) has been associated with various behavioral risk factors such as tobacco, alcohol, and/or substances abuse. OBJECTIVE The main objective is to describe the national trends and burden of tobacco and substance abuse in AF hospitalizations. Also, this study identifies potential population who are more vulnerable to these substance abuse among AF hospitalizations. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample database from 2007 to 2015 was utilized and the hospitalizations with AF were identified using the international classification of disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code. They were stratified into without abuse, tobacco use disorder (TUD), substance use disorder (SUD), alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD). RESULTS Of 3,631,507 AF hospitalizations, 852,110 (23.46%) had TUD, 1,851,170 (5.1%) had SUD, 155,681 (4.29%) had AUD and 42,667 (1.17%) had DUD. The prevalence of TUD, SUD, AUD, and DUD was substantially increased across all age groups, races, and gender during the study period. Female sex was associated with lower odds TUD, SUD, AUD, and DUD. Among AF hospitalizations, the black race was associated with higher odds of SUD, and DUD. The younger age group (18-35 years), male, Medicare/Medicaid as primary insurance, and lower socioeconomic status were associated with increased risk of both TUD and SUDs. CONCLUSION TUD and SUD among AF hospitalizations in the United States mainly affects males, younger individuals, white more than black, and those of lower socioeconomic status which demands for the development of preventive strategies to address multilevel influences.

Abstract
Importance Skin and subcutaneous diseases affect the health of millions of individuals in the US. Data are needed that highlight the geographic trends and variations of skin disease burden across the country to guide health care decision-making. Objective To characterize trends and variations in the burden of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases across the US from 1990 to 2017. Design, Setting, and Participants For this cohort study, data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD), a study with an online database that incorporates current and previous epidemiological studies of disease burden, and from GBD 2017, which includes more than 90 000 data sources such as systematic reviews, surveys, population-based disease registries, hospital inpatient and outpatient data, cohort studies, and autopsy data. The GBD separated skin conditions into 15 subcategories according to incidence, prevalence, adequacy of data, and standardized disease definitions. GBD 2017 also estimated the burden from melanoma of the skin and keratinocyte carcinoma. Data analysis for the present study was conducted from September 9, 2019, to March 31, 2020. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary study outcomes included age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), incidence, and prevalence. The data were stratified by US states with the highest and lowest age-standardized DALY rate per 100 000 people, incidence, and prevalence of each skin condition. The percentage change in DALY rates in each state was calculated from 1990 to 2017. Results Overall, age-standardized DALY rates for skin and subcutaneous diseases increased from 1990 (821.6; 95% uncertainty interval [UI], 570.3-1124.9) to 2017 (884.2; 95% UI, 614.0-1207.9) in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The degree of increase varied according to geographic location, with the largest percentage change of 0.12% (95% UI, 0.09%-0.15%) in New York and the smallest percentage change of 0.04% (95% UI, 0.02%-0.07%) in Colorado, 0.04% (95% UI, 0.01%-0.06%) in Nevada, 0.04% (95% UI, 0.02%-0.07%) in New Mexico, and 0.04% (95% UI, 0.02%-0.07%) in Utah. The age-standardized DALY rate, incidence, and prevalence of specific skin conditions differed among the states. New York had the highest age-standardized DALY rate for skin and subcutaneous disease in 2017 (1097.0 [95% UI, 764.9-1496.1]), whereas Wyoming had the lowest age-standardized DALY rate (672.9 [95% UI, 465.6-922.3]). In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, women had higher age-standardized DALY rates for overall skin and subcutaneous diseases than men (women: 971.20 [95% UI, 676.76-1334.59] vs men: 799.23 [95% UI, 559.62-1091.50]). However, men had higher DALY rates than women for malignant melanoma (men: 80.82 [95% UI, 51.68-123.18] vs women: 42.74 [95% UI, 34.05-70.66]) and keratinocyte carcinomas (men: 37.56 [95% UI, 29.35-49.52] vs women: 14.42 [95% UI, 10.01-20.66]). Conclusions and Relevance Data from the GBD suggest that the burden of skin and subcutaneous disease was large and that DALY rate trends varied across the US; the age-standardized DALY rate for keratinocyte carcinoma appeared greater in men. These findings can be used by states to target interventions and meet the needs of their population.

Predictors of Mortality Amongst Tocilizumab Administered COVID-19 Asian Indians: A Predictive Study From a Tertiary Care Centre. Cureus 2021; 13:e13116. [PMID: 33717715 PMCID: PMC7939533 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.13116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hyper-cytokinemia is a dreaded complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection and an important predictor of mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The current evidence at best is still ambiguous for use of tocilizumab in cytokine storm in COVID-19. Moreover, the factors that are associated with beneficial response from tocilizumab are unknown in COVID-19. We aimed to study the clinical outcomes especially mortality vis-à-vis clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients administered tocilizumab and identify predictors of mortality benefits amongst deceased vs recovered COVID-19 patients. Methods The present study is a retrospective observation of the demographic, clinical, and biological data of all the consecutive patients treated with tocilizumab for COVID-19 pneumonia at the COVID tertiary care centre from July 2020 to October 2020 at Ahmedabad, India. We compared the deceased group with those who recovered/discharged and evaluated patient-level demographics, clinical attributes, and laboratory investigations available to identify subgroups in whom tocilizumab reduced mortality. Results Of the 112 patients included, the mean (SD) age was 56.84 ± 13.56 years and 80 (71.4%) were male. There were 97 (86.6%) patients in the survivors and 15 (13.39%) in the deceased group. Deceased were older than the recovered group (mean: 66.14, SD: 14.41 vs mean: 55.36, SD: 12.98; p=0.04). Hypertension (33.03%) was the commonest comorbidity observed. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with cancer and type-2 diabetes (p=0.05 and p=0.01, respectively). Level of D-dimer and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) showed trends towards significance as a predictor of mortality (p=0.07 and p=0.08, respectively) not reaching significance. D-dimer level > 5,000 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) was the significant predictor of subsequent deaths (p<0.0001). Fourteen patients reported adverse events of tocilizumab. Patients who developed in-hospital complications (such as septic or vasodilatory shock and/or sepsis, acute kidney injury, multiorgan dysfunction) had significantly higher mortality (p<0.0001, p=0.009, and p=0.03, respectively). Conclusion Tocilizumab might be more beneficial in younger patients without sepsis/ septic shock, acute kidney injury, multiorgan dysfunction, and who were non-ventilated. The predictors of mortality amongst Asian Indians treated with tocilizumab were older patients, the presence of type-2 diabetes, cancer, in-hospital complication (such as acute kidney injury, sepsis/septic shock, multiorgan dysfunction), higher D-dimer > 5,000 ng/mL. A larger study with pre-defined inclusion cut-offs of these variables may aid in defining patient's characteristics of Asian Indians who may benefit from tocilizumab in COVID-19.

Comparison of procedural outcomes in patients undergoing catheter vs surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. J Arrhythm 2021; 37:60-69. [PMID: 33664887 PMCID: PMC7896461 DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 10/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of research comparing procedural outcomes of surgical ablation (SA) and catheter ablation (CA) among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The main objective was to compare the short-term procedural outcomes of SA and CA in patients with HFrEF. METHODS We used the national inpatient sample to identify hospitalizations over 18 years with HFrEF hospitalization and AF, and undergoing SA and CA from 2016 to 2017. Furthermore, the clinical outcomes of SA vs CA in AF stratified as nonparoxysmal and paroxysmal were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1,770 HFrEF hospitalizations with AF who underwent SA and 1,620 HFrEF hospitalizations with AF who underwent CA were included in the analysis. Hospitalizations with CA had higher baseline comorbidities. The in-hospital mortality among HFrEF with AF undergoing SA as compared with CA was similar (2.8% vs 1.9%, respectively, adjusted P-value 0.09). Hospitalizations with SA had a significantly longer length of hospital stay, a higher percentage of postprocedural, and cardiac complications. In HFrEF hospitalizations with nonparoxysmal AF, SA as compared with CA was associated with a higher percentage of in-hospital mortality (2.4% vs 1%, adjusted P-value <.05), a longer length of stay, a higher cost of treatment, and a higher percentage of cardiac complications. CONCLUSION CA is associated with lower in-hospital adverse procedural outcomes as compared with SA among HFrEF hospitalizations with AF. Further research with freedom from AF as one of the outcome is needed between two groups for HFrEF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a life-threatening oncologic emergency associated with fatal complications including arrhythmia. The epidemiology and mortality outcomes of arrhythmia in TLS are scarcely studied in the literature. METHODS We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to study the prevalence and outcome of arrhythmia in patients hospitalized with TLS (ICD-9 code 277.88) from 2009 to 2014. Baseline characteristics, burden of arrhythmia, and pertinent outcomes were analyzed. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to identify the impact of underlying malignancy in predicting TLS-related mortality. RESULTS A total of 9034 cases of arrhythmia among 37 861 TLS patients were identified. More than half of the arrhythmia cases (67%) were found among white old (>65) males admitted to large bed size and urban teaching hospitals. Arrhythmic cohort showed higher frequency of comorbidities such as fluid-electrolyte disturbances, hypertension, congestive heart failure, renal failure, dyslipidemia, diabetes, pulmonary circulatory disorders, chronic pulmonary disease, coagulopathy, and deficiency anemia. The most common malignancies were leukemia, lymphoma, metastatic tumor, and solid tumor without metastasis. We found significantly higher odds of in-hospital mortality among patients with TLS compared to general inpatient population on unadjusted (OR 9.69, 95% CI: 9.27-10.13, P < .001) and adjusted (OR 4.62, 95% CI: 4.39-4.85) multivariable analyses. Overall in-hospital mortality (32% vs 21.3%), median length of stay (11 days vs 9 days), and hospital charges were higher among arrhythmic than nonarrhythmic patients. CONCLUSION With the availability of more advanced cancer therapy in the US, nearly one in four inpatient encounters of TLS had arrhythmia. Arrhythmia in TLS patients was associated with higher odds of mortality and increased resource utilization. Therefore, strategies to improve the supportive care of TLS patients plus timely diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmia are of utmost importance in reducing mortality and health-care cost.

Abstract
AIMS To analyze the sex-based differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors and outcomes in older patients with prediabetes using demographically matched national cohorts of hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years. METHODS We queried the 2007-2014 National Inpatient Database to identify older patients (>65 years) admitted with prediabetes using ICD-9 Clinical Modification codes. The older patients were then subcategorized based on sex. Comparative analyses of their baseline characteristics, the prevalence of cardiovascular(CV) disease comorbidities, hospitalization outcomes, and mortality rates were performed on propensity-matched cohorts for demographics. RESULTS A total of 1,197,978 older patients with prediabetes (599,223 males; mean age 75years and 598,755 females; mean age 76years) were identified. Higher admission rates were found commonly among older white males (84.1%) and females (81.7%). Prediabetic older males showed a higher frequency of cardiovascular comorbidities compared to females. Prediabetic older males had higher all-cause in-hospital mortality (4.2% vs. 3.6%, p < 0.001), acute myocardial infarction (7.0% vs. 4.7%, p < 0.001), arrhythmia (36.3% vs. 30.5%, p < 0.001), stroke (4.8% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001), venous thromboembolism (3.3% vs. 3.0%, p < 0.001) and percutaneous coronary intervention (3.1% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001) compared to females. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis revealed that among older patients hospitalized with prediabetes, males suffered worse in-hospital CV outcomes and survival rates compared to females.

Abstract
Question What is the current burden of neurological disorders in the US by states, and what are the temporal trends (from 1990 to 2017)? Findings Systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease study shows that, in 2017, the 3 most burdensome neurological disorders in the US were stroke, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, and migraine. The burden of individual neurological disorders varied moderately to widely by states (a 1.2-fold to 7.5-fold difference), and the absolute numbers of incident, prevalent, and fatal cases and disability-adjusted life-years of neurological disorders (except for traumatic brain injury incidence; spinal cord injury prevalence; meningitis prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years; and encephalitis disability-adjusted life-years) across all US states increased from 1990 to 2017. Meaning A large and increasing number of people have various neurological disorders in the US, with significant variation in the burden of and trends in neurological disorders across the US states, and the reasons for these geographic variations need to be explored further. Importance Accurate and up-to-date estimates on incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (burden) of neurological disorders are the backbone of evidence-based health care planning and resource allocation for these disorders. It appears that no such estimates have been reported at the state level for the US. Objective To present burden estimates of major neurological disorders in the US states by age and sex from 1990 to 2017. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 study. Data on incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of major neurological disorders were derived from the GBD 2017 study of the 48 contiguous US states, Alaska, and Hawaii. Fourteen major neurological disorders were analyzed: stroke, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, Parkinson disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, migraine, tension-type headache, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, brain and other nervous system cancers, meningitis, encephalitis, and tetanus. Exposures Any of the 14 listed neurological diseases. Main Outcome and Measure Absolute numbers in detail by age and sex and age-standardized rates (with 95% uncertainty intervals) were calculated. Results The 3 most burdensome neurological disorders in the US in terms of absolute number of DALYs were stroke (3.58 [95% uncertainty interval [UI], 3.25-3.92] million DALYs), Alzheimer disease and other dementias (2.55 [95% UI, 2.43-2.68] million DALYs), and migraine (2.40 [95% UI, 1.53-3.44] million DALYs). The burden of almost all neurological disorders (in terms of absolute number of incident, prevalent, and fatal cases, as well as DALYs) increased from 1990 to 2017, largely because of the aging of the population. Exceptions for this trend included traumatic brain injury incidence (−29.1% [95% UI, −32.4% to −25.8%]); spinal cord injury prevalence (−38.5% [95% UI, −43.1% to −34.0%]); meningitis prevalence (−44.8% [95% UI, −47.3% to −42.3%]), deaths (−64.4% [95% UI, −67.7% to −50.3%]), and DALYs (−66.9% [95% UI, −70.1% to −55.9%]); and encephalitis DALYs (−25.8% [95% UI, −30.7% to −5.8%]). The different metrics of age-standardized rates varied between the US states from a 1.2-fold difference for tension-type headache to 7.5-fold for tetanus; southeastern states and Arkansas had a relatively higher burden for stroke, while northern states had a relatively higher burden of multiple sclerosis and eastern states had higher rates of Parkinson disease, idiopathic epilepsy, migraine and tension-type headache, and meningitis, encephalitis, and tetanus. Conclusions and Relevance There is a large and increasing burden of noncommunicable neurological disorders in the US, with up to a 5-fold variation in the burden of and trends in particular neurological disorders across the US states. The information reported in this article can be used by health care professionals and policy makers at the national and state levels to advance their health care planning and resource allocation to prevent and reduce the burden of neurological disorders.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is known to cause a cluster of flu-like illnesses and pneumonia with evolving understanding of other systemic manifestations. Currently, the known cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 include myocardial injury, acute coronary syndrome, and arrhythmias. In this report, we describe a case of pericarditis-an unusual cardiac manifestation observed in a patient with COVID-19. A 63-year-old male presented with history of fever, cough and chest pain. Electrocardiogram (EKG) demonstrated diffuse ST-T wave changes on all the leads, with normal troponin-T levels. Echocardiograph showed mild pericardial effusion without any regional wall motion abnormality. Subsequent chest radiograph and coronary angiography were normal. In view of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, nasopharyngeal swab was performed, which was positive. Detailed etiological workup for pericarditis, including infectious and inflammatory causes were unremarkable. Viral pericarditis (possibly caused by COVID-19) was diagnosis of exclusion and patient was treated with hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day, colchicine 0.5 mg twice a day, and lopinavir/ritonavir 200 mg/50 mg tablet twice a day for 10 days during admission. He was discharged with hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice daily and colchicine 0.5 mg once daily for 15 days. On subsequent follow-up clinic visit, he reported resolution of symptoms. The purpose of this report is to add a potential cardiovascular complication of COVID-19 to the literature. Awareness of this manifestation can lead to timely laboratory and imaging examinations with potential to provide correct treatment and good outcome.

Abstract
The main objective is to estimate the frequency, temporal trends, and outcomes of cerebrovascular events associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) hospitalization in the United States. The national inpatient sample data was utilized to identify hospitalizations with a primary or secondary diagnosis of AF from January 1, 2005 through September 31, 2015 for the present analysis. Jonckheere-Terpstra Trend was utilized to analyze trends from 2005 to 2015. Global Wald score was used to assess relative contributions of various covariates towards stroke among AF hospitalizations. Between the years 2005 and 2015, there were 36,457,323 (95.2%) AF hospitalizations without cerebrovascular events and 1,824,608 (4.8%) with cerebrovascular events included in the final analysis. There was a statistically significant increase in the proportion of overall stroke, AIS, and AHS (ptrend value <0.001) per 1,000 AF hospitalizations. The frequency of stroke per 1,000 AF hospitalizations was highest among patients with CHA2DS2VASc score ≥3 and Charlson's comorbidity index ≥3. The trend of in-hospital mortality decreased during the study period, however, it remained higher in those with cerebrovascular events compared to those without. Lastly, hypertension, advancing age, and chronic lung disease were major stroke predicting factors among AF hospitalizations. These cerebrovascular events were associated with longer length of stay and higher costs. In conclusion, the incidence of cerebrovascular events associated with AF hospitalizations remained significantly high and the trend continues to ascend despite technological advancements. Strategies should improve to reduce the risk of AF-related stroke in the United States.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There has been an increasing prevalence of Moyamoya disorder (MMD) reported from recent US literature. There is a paucity of data available regarding trends of prevalence and epidemiological factors in the United States. To goal of this study was to test the hypotheses that racial-, sex-specific MMD hospitalizations and epidemiological factors have been increasing in the United States over the last decade. METHODS In this retrospective observational study, using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2005 to 2016, MMD-related hospitalizations in patients aged ≥18 years were identified. Trends of epidemiological factors were analyzed over time using the linear regression model with the significance of differences in trend over time assessed using the Wald test. Sex- and race-specific burden of MMD were calculated using the annual US Census data. Joinpoint regression model was used to evaluate trends of hospitalizations over time. RESULTS A total of 24,484 adult hospitalizations were identified from January 2005 to September 2015 after excluding <18 years. Among them, approximately ~90% were aged ≤60 years, and 73.5% were females. The most common vascular and non-vascular presentations were ischemic stroke (17.3%) and seizures (21%), respectively. The trend of antithrombotic therapy has increased, while extracranial-intracranial bypass has remained stagnant. The actual average hospitalizations of MMD was 10.4 cases/ million population/year (range 4.1-17.9) and varied significantly by sex (females 14.7 [range 6.2-23.6] and males 5.9 [range 1.8-11.9]) over the 2005 to 2016 study period. The burden of hospitalizations also differed by race (African Americans 40.6 [range 32.8-63.7], Asians 24.8 [15.4-34.8], Non-Hispanic Whites 8.1 [range 6.4-11.5], and Hispanics 8.4 [2.8-12.8]) over the 2010 to 2016 study period. Joinpoint regression analysis showed an increasing overall MMD trend across the study period (+11.7%; P < 0.001), which was higher in males (+14.5% vs. +10.7%; P < 0.001). The Hispanic group had significantly increased hospitalizations over the years (+20.2%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Although overall more prevalent in females, MMD-related hospitalizations are increasing more rapidly in males. Among the racial subpopulations, African Americans had the highest MMD-related hospitalizations, even higher than Asian Americans. MMD-related hospitalizations have increased quicker in Hispanics than in any other racial group.

Abstract
Introduction Despite states’ regulatory efforts, e-cigarettes are gaining popularity, which poses a public health concern. The study objective is to compare demographic and state prevalence changes in e-cigarette use from 2017 to 2018. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using publicly available data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey (2017-2018). The prevalence of current e-cigarette use was analyzed with direct age-adjustment based on the 2010 United States Census population. Results The overall use of e-cigarettes increased from 4.3% in 2017 to 5.4% in 2018. Although most demographics reported increased prevalence from 2017 to 2018, the most significant change was observed in younger adults (18-24), males, Hispanics, college graduates, non-smokers, marijuana non-users, and heavy alcoholics. Oklahoma (9.8%), Hawaii (7.8%), Arkansas (7.7%), and Colorado (7.3%) greater prevalence in 2018. Significant inclining prevalence was observed in Alaska, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, while Illinois reported a sharp decline. California, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico consistently reported the lowest prevalence. Idaho, Maine, Michigan, North Dakota, and Oregon are transitioning to a higher prevalence of e-cigarette use from 2017 to 2018. Conclusion The rising prevalence of e-cigarettes across demographics warrants a holistic approach to behavioural change interventions, health awareness and education, and regulatory efforts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The frequency and temporal trend in the prevalence of arrhythmias and associated in-hospital outcomes in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have never been quantified. METHODS Our study cohort of SCD patients and sub-types of arrhythmias were derived from the 2010-2014 National Inpatient Sample using relevant diagnostic codes. The frequency and trends of arrhythmia and odds of inpatient mortality were measured. RESULTS A total of 891 450 hospitalized SCD patients were identified, of which, 55 616 (6.2%) patients experienced arrhythmias. The SCD cohort with arrhythmia demonstrated higher all-cause mortality (2.7% vs 0.4%; adjusted OR 2.53, 95% CI 2.15-2.97, P < .001), prolonged hospital stays (6.9 vs 5.0 days) and higher hospital charges ($53 871 vs $30 905) relative to those without arrhythmias (P < .001).The frequency of supraventricular arrhythmia (AFib, SVT, and AF) and ventricular arrhythmia (VFib and VT) were 1893 and 362 per 100 000 SCD-related admissions, respectively. Unspecified arrhythmias (4126) were seen most frequently followed by AFib (1622) per 100 000 SCD-related admissions. From 2010 to 2014, the frequency of any arrhythmias and atrial fibrillation in hospitalized SCD patients relatively increased by 29.6% and 38.5%, respectively. There was nearly a twofold (2.4% in 2010 to 5.0% in 2014) increase in the frequency of arrhythmia among patients aged <18 years. The frequency of arrhythmias in hospitalized male and female SCD patients relatively increased by 28.8% and 31.4%, respectively (P trend < .001). CONCLUSIONS The frequency of arrhythmias among SCD patients is on the rise with worse hospitalization outcomes, including higher in-hospital mortality and higher resource utilization as compared to those without arrhythmias.

Abstract
The earliest evidence from China suggested that COVID-19 patients are even more vulnerable to succumbing from complications in the presence of a multimorbid status, including metabolic syndrome. Due to ongoing metabolic abnormalities, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) appears to be a potential risk factor for contracting SARS-CoV-2 infection and developing related complications. This is because of the interplay of chronically active inflammatory pathways in NAFLD- and COVID-19-associated acute cytokine storm. The risk of severe disease could also be attributed to compromised liver function as a result of NAFLD. We systematically reviewed current literature to ascertain the relationship between NAFLD and severe COVID-19, independent of obesity, which is considered the major factor risk factor for both NAFLD and COVID-19. We found that NAFLD is a predictor of severe COVID-19, even after adjusting for the presence of obesity (OR 2.358; 95% CI: 1.902–2.923, p < 0.001).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary artery (PA) injury is a rarely reported complication following percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). This study aims to systematically review all reported cases of PA injury associated with LAAC.
Methods
PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, EMBASE, Google Scholar and the MAUDE databases were searched to find studies reporting PA injury during or after LAAC with the Amplatzer Amulet (AA), Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) or Watchman device through October 2019. Categorical data were reported in terms of numbers and/or percentages (%).
Results
We found 13 cases (mean age 71.4 yrs) with reported PA injury associated with LAAC. Of these, 9 were case reports, 3 were reported in observational studies, and 1 was in the MAUDE database. Most cases (n=8) were reported in Europe followed by Australia (n=2) and Asia (n=2). The indication for device implantation in all patients was a high bleeding risk with anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation. Five cases were reported with the ACP (1/5 patients died), 5 with AA (2/5 patients died), and 3 with the Watchman (1/2 patients died). Acute and late presentations following implantation were reported for all three devices. 69.2% of cases (9/13) occurred acutely (during or within 24 hours of intervention). Of these, 3/9 occurred during device implantation. 2/4 of the delayed cases occurred >2 weeks following implantation. The mortality rate for acute and delayed cases was 22% (2/9 patients) and 50% (2/4 patients), respectively. A majority of the cases were attributable to barb/strut/hook injury of the PA. PA injury was associated with a mortality rate of approximately 31%. All surviving patients were managed with surgical intervention.
Conclusion
PA injury is an infrequently reported complication following LAAC and is associated with high mortality. Cases can present acutely (intra-procedurally or within 24 hours) or delayed (>24 hours post-implantation). A majority of cases are due to direct injury of the PA by the struts/hooks/barbs of the device. Practitioners should be cognizant of this life-threatening complication, which requires a high index of suspicion for diagnosis and can occur weeks after device implantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Rising trends in takotsubo syndrome (TTS)-related complications warrant data to identify the rate, causes and predictors of readmission on a large scale. We conducted the first-ever meta-analysis to evaluate the pooled rate of short-term and long-term readmissions after index TTS admissions.
Methods
PubMed/Medline, EMBASE and SCOPUS databases were systematically reviewed to find studies through October 2019 reporting rates and causes of readmission following index TTS admissions. Random effects models were used to estimate pooled rates and causes of readmissions and I2 statistics were used to report inter-study heterogeneity.
Results
A total of 16 cohorts with 118,941 TTS index admissions (mean age 65–75 yrs; female >85%, median follow-up 272.5 days) revealed a 16.6% [95% CI-13.2%-20.3%, I2=99%] pooled rate of readmission. Short-term and long-term pooled readmission rates are displayed in Fig.1. The readmission rate was higher in cohorts with young patients (<70 vs. >70 yrs), smaller sample size (n<100 vs. n>100) and single-centres vs. multicentres. Studies published from the USA (16.4% vs. 14.9%) had a higher readmission rate as compared to Italy. The most frequent causes were cardiac (40.6%), respiratory (15.7%) and renal (7.0%). Among readmissions with cardiac diagnoses, heart failure was most common (40.1%).
Conclusions
This global meta-analysis revealed that the pooled rate of readmission following index TTS admissions was ∼17% and causes were mainly cardiac or respiratory.
