A machine learning model for predicting ischemic and bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention: Development and external validation
This study aimed to develop and externally validate a machine learningbased risk prediction model of ischemia and bleeding events in patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention
Persistent critical illness in acute hypoxic respiratory failure: A retrospective cohort study
Persistent critical illness PerCI describes patients with prolonged intensive care unit ICU dependence after their acute phase of illness and affects of the general ICU population
Antidiabetic medications and risk of cognitive disorders in type 2 diabetes: A retrospective cohort study
To evaluate the associations between commonly used antidiabetic regimens and incidence of mild cognitive disorder Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia in adults with type diabetes Diabetes is a chronic progressive condition projected to affect more than billion people worldwide by Type diabetes mellitus TDM nearly doubles
Spectral CT electron density for evaluation of lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration
This study aimed to investigate the ability of spectral CT parameters to evaluate lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration LIDD Lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration is the most prevalent cause of low back pain and it causes herniated disk disease lumbar degenerative spondylosis and lumbar spinal canal stenosis
Functional capacity improvement and cardiovascular events after lower extremity revascularization
Functional status predicts outcomes in peripheral artery disease PAD but the relevance of changes in functional capacity after lower extremity revascularization LER and longterm events is unclear Functional status is a powerful predictor of clinical outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease PAD Lower extremity revascularization
Analysis of independent risk factors for high hidden blood loss following total knee arthroplasty
Hidden blood loss HBL constitutes a substantial proportion of total perioperative blood loss after total knee arthroplasty TKA and may adversely affect postoperative recovery yet factors associated with highlevel HBL remain insufficiently defined
Modifiable predictors of atrioventricular block warranting a pacemaker: A cohort study
Recent studies focused on atrial fibrillation have demonstrated that the etiology of cardiac arrhythmias may be influenced by modifiable risk factors It remains unknown if similar predictors are relevant to bradyarrhythmias the most severe form being atrioventricular AV block warranting a pacemaker
Outcomes of immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised patients in the ICU diverge late in the pandemic
The impact of immunocompromising conditions on outcomes in critically ill patients with COVID remains poorly characterized We hypothesized that disparities in COVID outcomes in immunocompromised patients may differ by viral strain and time course of the pandemic
Perceptions of cancer survivors and healthcare professionals on adequate supportive care after treatment of cancer: An in-depth qualitative study
Following treatment cancer survivors often struggle to resume their life in several life domains Although supportive care is increasingly available and can assist survivors in improving their quality of life it often falls short in meeting the needs of the diverse and growing group of cancer survivors
Outcomes of In-hospital Cardiac Arrest: Insights from a Medical Intensive Care Unit
Critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units ICU usually suffer from lifethreatening illnesses and many are hemodynamically unstable The incidence of cardiac arrest in the ICU is approximately per admissions
