Fluctuating risk of acute kidney injury-related mortality for four weeks after ...
Min, J; Kang, D-H; Kang, C; Bell, ML; Kim, H; Yang, J; Gasparrini, A; Lavigne, E; Hashizume, M; Kim, Y; Fook Sheng Ng, C; Honda, Y; Pereira da Silva, SNBackground: Recent studies have reported that air pollution is related to kidney diseases. However, the global evidence on the risk of death from acute kidney injury (AKI) owing to air pollution is limited. Therefore, we investigated the association between short-term exposure to air pollution—particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)—and AKI-related mortality using a multi-cou...
Global Impact of COVID-19 on Stroke Care and IV Thrombolysis
Nogueira, RG; Qureshi, MM; Abdalkader, M; Martins, SO; Yamagami, H; Qiu, Z; Mansour, OY; Sathya, A; Czlonkowska, A; Tsivgoulis, G; Aguiar de Sousa, DObjective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified ...
Prognostic Significance of Subtle Coronary Calcification in Patients with Zero ...
Han, D; Klein, E; Friedman, J; Gransar, H; Achenbach, S; Al-Mallah, M; Budoff, M; Cademartiri, F; Maffei, E; Callister, T; Chinnaiyan, K; Chow, BBackground and aims: The Agatston coronary artery calcium score (CACS) may fail to identify small or less dense coronary calcification that can be detected on coronary CT angiography (CCTA). We investigated the prevalence and prognostic importance of subtle calcified plaques on CCTA among individuals with CACS 0. Methods: From the prospective multicenter CONFIRM registry, we evaluated patients without known CAD...
Prognostic Value of Age Adjusted Segment Involvement Score As Measured by Coron...
Ayoub, C; Kritharides, L; Yam, Y; Chen, L; Hossain, A; Achenbach, S; Al-Mallah, M; Andreini, D; Berman, D; Budoff, M; Cademartiri, F; Callister, TExtent of coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) burden on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as measured by segment involvement score (SIS) has a prognostic value. We sought to investigate the incremental prognostic value of 'age adjusted SIS' (aSIS), which may be a marker of premature atherosclerosis and vascular age. Consecutive patients were prospectively enrolled into the CONFIRM (Coronary CT ...
Predictive Value of Age- and Sex-Specific Nomograms of Global Plaque Burden on ...
Naoum, C; Berman, D; Ahmadi, A; Blanke, P; Gransar, H; Narula, J; Shaw, LJ; Kritharides, L; Achenbach, S; Al-Mallah, M; Andreini, D; Budoff, MJBackground: Age-adjusted coronary artery disease (CAD) burden identified on coronary computed tomography angiography predicts major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) risk; however, it seldom contributes to clinical decision making because of a lack of nomographic data. We aimed to develop clinically pragmatic age- and sex-specific nomograms of CAD burden using coronary computed tomography angiography and to v...
Sex-Specific Associations Between Coronary Artery Plaque Extent and Risk of Maj...
Schulman-Marcus, J; Hartaigh, B; Gransar, H; Lin, F; Valenti, V; Cho, I; Berman, D; Callister, T; DeLago, A; Hadamitzky, M; Hausleiter, J; Al-Mallah, MOBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine sex-specific associations, if any, between per-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) extent and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over a 5-year study duration. BACKGROUND: The presence and extent of CAD diagnosed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is associated with increased short-term mortality and MACE. Nevertheless, some...
