Novel biomarkers for risk stratification in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Risk stratification in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is paramount to identifying individuals at highest risk of death. So far, there are only limited parameters for prognostication in patients with PAH. 95 patients with confirmed PAH were included in the present analysis and followed for a total of 4 years. Blood samples were analysed for serum levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic...
متن کاملMortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension: prediction by the 2015 European pulmonary hypertension guidelines risk stratification model
The 2015 European pulmonary hypertension (PH) guidelines propose a risk stratification strategy for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Low-, intermediate- and high-risk strata are defined by estimated 1-year mortality risks of <5%, 5-10% and >10%, respectively. This risk assessment strategy awaits validation.We analysed data from patients with newly diagnosed PAH enrolled into...
متن کاملNoise exposure and risk of hypertension: a cross-sectional study
Abstract Background: Previous studies have indicated an unspecific correlation between noise exposure and blood pressure disturbances. Blood pressure disturbances could be caused by the environmental hazards such as noise exposure. The aim of this study is to analyze whether there is a relationship between noise exposure and hypertension. Methods: Atotal sample of 218 workers workin...
متن کاملRisk stratification, risk adjustment, and other risks.
“BUT our patients are sicker than yours!” is the refrain when physicians are faced with adverse comparisons of their patients’ outcomes with those of other groups, hospitals, or health systems. Meaningful and fair comparison of clinical performance requires statistical adjustment of outcomes for differences in clinical acuity of patients treated and complexity of procedures performed, among oth...
متن کاملGlucocorticoids-Induced Hypertension: The Prevalence and Risk Factors
Introduction: Despite benefits in the treatment of most autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, glucocorticoids (GCs) have proved side effects including hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and lipid disorders. Determining the risk factors for hypertension can facilitate the identification of high-risk individuals and lead to effective control of the side effects. The present study aimed to deter...
