Comparing the cost-effectiveness of two screening strategies for latent tubercu...
Sousa, S; Rocha, D; Silva, JC; Ribeiro, AI; Gonçalves, G; Almeida, Á; Correia, AM; Duarte, R; Carvalho, CIntroduction and objectives: Screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in close contacts of infectious TB cases might include Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRA), in combination or as single-tests. In Portugal, the screening strategy changed from TST followed by IGRA to IGRA-only testing in 2016. Our objective was to compare the cost-effectiveness of two-step TST/IGRA ...
Fifteen years of coronary intravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary int...
Azevedo Guerreiro, R; Fernandes, R; Campante Teles, R; Canas da Silva, P; Pereira, H; Cruz Ferreira, R; Costa, M; Seixo, F; Farto E Abreu, P; Pipa, JLINTRODUCTION: Coronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is increasingly important in catheterization laboratories due to its positive prognostic impact. This study aims to characterize the use of IVUS in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Portugal. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed based on the Portuguese Registry on Interventional Cardiology of the Portuguese Society of Cardiol...

Guerreiro, C; Ferreira, PC; Teles, RC; Braga, P; Canas da Silva, P; Patrício, L; Silva, JC; Baptista, J; de Sousa Almeida, M; Gama Ribeiro, V; Silva, BIntroduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfem...

Usefulness of Routine Fractional Flow Reserve for Clinical Management of Corona...
Van Belle, E; Cosenza, A; Bravo Baptista, S; Vincent, F; Henderson, J; Santos, L; Ramos, R; Pouillot, C; Calé, R; Cuisset, T; Jorge, E; Teiger, EImportance: Approximately one-third of patients considered for coronary revascularization have diabetes, which is a major determinant of clinical outcomes, often influencing the choice of the revascularization strategy. The usefulness of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to guide treatment in this population is understudied and has been questioned. Objective: To evaluate the usefulness and rate of major adverse car...
Adjuvant antithrombotic therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Contempo...
Caldeira, D; Pereira, H; Marques, A; Alegria, S; Calisto, J; Silva, P; Ribeiro, V; Silva, JC; Seixo, F; Abreu, PF, et al.INTRODUCTION: The standard of care for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) includes the activation of a STEMI care network, the administration of adjuvant medical therapy, and reperfusion through primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While primary PCI is nowadays the first option for the treatment of patients with STEMI, antithrombotic therapy, including antiplatelet and anticoagulant a...

Pereira, H; Caldeira, D; Teles, RC; Costa, M; da Silva, PC; da Gama Ribeiro, V; Brandão, V; Martins, D; Matias, F; Pereira-Machado, F; Baptista, JBACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the impact of thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) in 'real-world' settings. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study, using data from the National Registry of Interventional Cardiology (RNCI 2006-2012, Portugal) with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with P-PCI. The primary outcome, in-hospital mortality...
Avaliação do Exame Final do Internato Médico em Portugal
Reis Marques, T; Laíns, I; Martins, MJ; Goiana-da-Silva, F; Sampaio, F; Pessanha, I; Hipólito Fernandes, D; Brandão, M; Pinto Teixeira, PIntrodução: Existe uma elevada heterogeneidade na estrutura da avaliação da formação médica pós-graduada a nível mundial. No entanto, contrastando com outros países, não existem estudos científicos em Portugal que tenham avaliado o modelo da avaliação final da especialidade. O presente estudo pretendeu avaliar a adequação do exame do final da especialidade aos seus propósitos; aí incluída a sua validade enquant...
