The prevalence and incidence of diabetes is similar in the two sexes but the long-term impact of diabetes on vascular and non-vascular complications is more gender specific. Men, in comparison with women, seem to be at higher risk for micro-vascular complications, such as severe retinopathy and nephropathy. On the other hand, the impact of diabetes on the risk of major cardiovascular events is dif...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) in critically ill patients still represents a clinical challenge. The aim of the study was to investigate whether a systematic ultrasound (US) screening might improve the management of the antithrombotic therapy in intensive care unit (ICU). In this non-randomized diagnostic clinical trial, 100 patients consecutively admitted to I...... hiện toàn bộ

The decision concerning the introduction of primary and secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with solid brain neoplasms and brain metastases is often challenging due to the concomitant increased risk of intracranial hemorrhage and to limited evidence from available literature. A standardized questionnaire composed of nine multiple-choice questions regarding primary VTE...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes in exercise capacity and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with peripheral artery disease: a 10-year retrospective cohort studyInternal and Emergency Medicine - Tập 15 - Trang 289-298 - 2019

We retrospectively studied the association between changes in exercise capacity at discharge from a home-based exercise program and the risk of all-cause mortality among patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and claudication. The records of 1076 consecutive PAD patients were assessed between 2003 and 2013. The exercise program was prescribed during a few visits and executed at home at symp...... hiện toàn bộ

Machine learning (ML) techniques may improve readmission prediction performance in heart failure (HF) patients. This study aimed to assess the ability of ML algorithms to predict unplanned all-cause 30-day readmissions in HF elderly patients, and to compare them with conventional LACE (Length of hospitalization, Acuity, Comorbidities, Emergency department visits) index. All patients aged ≥ 65 year...... hiện toàn bộ
