Delaying Surgery Linked to Worse Outcomes for NSCLC
For patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), delaying surgical procedures for more than 12 weeks is associated with an increased risk for recurrence and worse survival.
Inflammatory Markers Correlate With Troponin Levels in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19
The researchers sought to characterize the relationship between inflammatory markers and baseline, maximum, and change in troponin levels.
Some Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Raise Risk for Heart Failure
Researchers aimed to study the associations between heart failure medications and certain systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
Using Spironolactone for HFpEF Lessens Risk of CV Death Despite Worsening Renal Function
The researcher’s goal was to study the relationship between worsening renal function, spironolactone treatment, and clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Pulmonary Hypertension Increases Mortality Risk in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Surgery
The researchers’ goals included determining how postoperative residual pulmonary hypertension was related to longitudinal mortality in patients with severe mitral regurgitation who had mitral valve surgery.
A Closer Look at Cardiovascular Complications of Malaria
The researchers’ goals include systematically reviewing the existing evidence of cardiovascular involvement in infectious diseases, including tropical infectious diseases.
Collagenous Colitis Subtype Linked to Increased Risk for Severe COVID-19
Researchers assessed the risk for severe COVID-19 in patients with microscopic colitis vs the general population.
High Incidence of Thrombotic Complications, Lower Mortality in the Second Wave of Patients With COVID-19
Researchers sought to assess the incidence of thrombotic complications in the second wave of patients with COVID-19, how many patients had diagnostic imaging for these complications, overall mortality, and then compared these outcomes with the first wave.
ACAAI Updates Guidance for Allergic Reactions to COVID-19 Vaccines
New ACAAI guidance relates to risks for allergic reactions for mRNA (Moderna and Pfizer) and adenovirus vector (Johnson & Johnson/Janssen) COVID-19 vaccines.
