Dégano, IR; Subirana, I; Fusco, D; Tavazzi, L; Kirchberger, I; Farmakis, D; Ferrières, J; Azevedo, A; Torre, M; Garel, P; Brosa, M; Davoli, MBackground: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reduces mortality in most myocardial infarction (MI) patients but the effect on elderly patients with comorbidities is unclear. Our aim was to analyse the effect of PCI on in-hospital mortality of MI patients, by age, sex, ST elevation on presentation, diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: Cohort study of 79,791 MI patients admitte...
Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980: a pooled analysis of 751 population-ba...
Zhou, B; Lu, Y; Hajifathalian, K; Bentham, J; Di Cesare, M; Danaei, G; Bixby, H; Cowan, MJ; Ali, MK; Taddei, C.; Lo, WC; Ninomiya, T; Noale, M; Noto, DBackground One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with diabetes. Method...
Effects of diabetes definition on global surveillance of diabetes prevalence an...
Danaei, G; Fahimi, S; Lu, Y; Zhou, B; Hajifathalian, K; Di Cesare, M; Lo, WC; Reis-Santos, B; Cowan, MJ; Shaw, JE; Bentham, J; Mohammad, K; Mohan, VBackground Diabetes has been defi ned on the basis of diff erent biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA1c. We assessed the eff ect of diff erent diagnostic defi nitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classifi cation of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabetes in a po...
A European benchmarking system to evaluate in-hospital mortality rates in acute...
Dégano, IR; Subirana, I; Torre, M; Grau, M; Vila, J; Fusco, D; Kirchberger, I; Ferrieres, J; Malmivaara, A; Azevedo, A; Meisinger, C; Bongard, VBackground: Hospital performance models in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are useful to assess patient management. While models are available for individual countries, mainly US, cross-European performance models are lacking. Thus, we aimed to develop a system to benchmark European hospitals in AMI and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), based on predicted in-hospital mortality. Methods and results: We...
Seasonality of cardiovascular risk factors: an analysis including over 230 000 ...
Marti-Soler, H; Gubelmann, C; Aeschbacher, S; Alves, L; Bobak, M; Bongard, V; Clays, E; de Gaetano, G; Di Castelnuovo, A; Elosua, R; Ferrieres, JObjective To assess the seasonality of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a large set of population-based studies. Methods Cross-sectional data from 24 population-based studies from 15 countries, with a total sample size of 237 979 subjects. CVRFs included Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference; systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; total, high (HDL) and low (LDL) density lipoprotein chol...
