Hemodynamics are associated with subsequent lumen remodeling and clinical maturation of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula

Yong He, Guo Wei, Tom Greene, Peter B. Imrey et autres

Abstract The pathogenesis of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure is unclear. We evaluated the associations of wall shear stress (WSS) with subsequent AVF remodeling and clinical maturation using regression models in this prospective cohort study. Participants underwent duplex ultrasound at postoperative Day …

Dynamic Remodeling of Human Arteriovenous Fistula Wall Obtained From Magnetic Resonance Imaging During the First 6 Months After Creation

Yingnan Li, Yong He, Isabelle D. Falzon, Brayden Fairbourn et autres

The nonmaturation rate of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is high.1 The direct connection of the AVF vein and artery creates a short path that bypasses the distal high-resistance vasculature, resulting in an immediate increase in the flow rate and venous pressure. With the …

Prediction of cardiovascular events from systolic or diastolic blood pressure

Atefeh Talebi, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen, Thomas Alexander Gerds, Jørgen Jeppesen et autres

Over time, a focus on blood pressure has transferred from diastolic pressure to systolic pressure. Formal analyses of differences in predictive value are scarce. Our goal of the study was whether office SBP adds prognostic information to office DBP and whether both …

Early‐life childhood obesity risk prediction: A Danish register‐based cohort study exploring the predictive value of infancy weight gain

Torill Alise Rotevatn, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen, Line Rosenkilde Ullits, Christian Tobias Torp-Pedersen et autres

BACKGROUND: Information on postnatal weight gain is important for predicting later overweight and obesity, but it is unclear whether inclusion of this postnatal predictor improves the predictive performance of a comprehensive model based on prenatal and birth-related predictors. OBJECTIVES: To compare performance …

Mortality and return to work in patients transported by emergency ambulance after involvement in a traffic accident

Kristian Bundgaard Ringgren, Elisabeth Helen Anna Mills, Erika Frischknecht Christensen, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen et autres

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: Traffic accidents constitute a common reason for injury. Little is known about long-term outcomes for patients following a traffic accident. Therefore, in this present paper, we examine 1-day, 30-day and 1-year mortality, and return to work (RTW) during a 1-year period. …

Uncertainty in classification of death from fatal myocardial infarction: A nationwide analysis of regional variation in incidence and diagnostic support

Majbritt Svendsen, Henrik Bøggild, Regitze Kuhr Skals, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen et autres

AIMS: The usefulness of mortality statistics relies on the validity of death certificate diagnosis. However, diagnosing the causal sequence of conditions leading to death is not simple. We examined diagnostic support for fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and investigated its association with …

Risk of Developing Hypokalemia in Patients With Hypertension Treated With Combination Antihypertensive Therapy

Maria Lukács Krogager, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen, Peter Enemark Lund, Henrik Bøggild et autres

Little is known about the occurrence of hypokalemia due to combination therapy for hypertension. Using data from Danish administrative registries, we investigated the association between different combinations of antihypertensive therapy and risk of developing hypokalemia. Using incidence density matching, 2 patients without …

Valve regurgitation in patients surviving endocarditis and the subsequent risk of heart failure

Lauge Østergaard, Anders Dahl, Niels Eske Bruun, Louise Bruun Oestergaard et autres

BACKGROUND: Significant valve regurgitation is common in patients surviving native valve infective endocarditis (IE), however the associated risk of heart failure (HF) subsequent to hospital discharge after IE is sparsely described. METHODS: We linked data from the East Danish Endocarditis Registry with …

1421Dyskalemias in hypertensive patients treated with combination of antihypertensive drugs: a nested case-control study using Danish national registries

Maria Lukács Krogager, Rikke Nørmark Mortensen, Peter Enemark Lund, H Boeggild et autres

Abstract Aims Little is known about the occurrence of potassium disturbances in relation to combination therapy in hypertension. Using data from Danish electronic registries, we investigated the association between different combinations of antihypertensive therapy and potassium imbalances, in 22,060 individuals, between 1995–2012. …
