Limited predictive value of traditional comorbidities for readmission in acute decompensated heart failure Open
Background Common comorbidities in heart failure (HF), including chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), ischemic heart disease (IHD), and atrial fibrillation, are frequently presumed to predict hospital readmission. However,…

QTc Prolongation as a Diagnostic Clue in Acute Pulmonary Embolism Open
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) increases right ventricular (RV) afterload, potentially leading to myocardial stress and electrocardiographic abnormalities. Although QTc prolongation has been suggested as a marker of RV dysfunction, it…

Impact of immigration on outcomes following acute decompensated heart failure: A retrospective cohort study Open
Aims The study aims to investigate the impact of immigration status on short‐ and long‐term outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single cent…

Statin therapy impact on Long-Term outcomes in acute heart Failure: Retrospective analysis of hospitalized patients Open
The study highlights significant underutilization of statin therapy among patients admitted with ADHF, even when there's an independent indication for such treatment. Importantly, initiation of statin therapy during hospital admission was …

Medical calculators derived synthetic cohorts: a novel method for generating synthetic patient data Open
This study shows that we can use synthetic cohorts created from medical risk calculators to gain insights into how risk estimations, clinical reasoning, data-driven subgrouping, and the confidence in risk calculator scores are connected. W…

Marital status impact on the outcomes of patients admitted for acute decompensation of heart failure: A retrospective, single‐center, analysis Open
Background Conflicting evidence exists regarding the association between marital status and outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Further, it is not clear whether type of unmarried status (never married, divorced, or widowed) dispa…

Temporal Trends and Drivers of Heart Team Utilization in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Population‐Based Study in Ontario, Canada Open
Background The multidisciplinary Heart Team (HT) is recommended for management decisions for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) candidates, and during TAVR procedures. Empiric evidence to support these recommendations is limited…

A “resistance calculator”: Simple stewardship intervention for refining empiric practices of antimicrobials in acute-care hospitals Open
Objective: In the era of widespread resistance, there are 2 time points at which most empiric prescription errors occur among hospitalized adults: (1) upon admission (UA) when treating patients at risk of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDR…

Disparities in the characteristics and outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure admitted to internal medicine and cardiology departments: a single‐centre, retrospective cohort study Open
Aims Efforts are constantly made to decrease the rates of readmission after acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). ADHF admissions to internal medicine departments (IMD) were previously associated with higher risk for readmission compar…
