Provincial carotid endarterectomy outcomes.
BACKGROUND Outcomes must be measured as a first step toward improving performance. We sought to measure the national and provincial outcomes from carotid endarterectomy (CE) and explain provincial differences. METHODS We analyzed a large Canada-wide administrative hospital discharge database of all patients, except those in Quebec, receiving CE in 1994-1997 and used logistic regression for ri...
متن کاملCarotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting utilization trends over time
BACKGROUND Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) has been the standard in atherosclerotic stroke prevention for over 2 decades. More recently, carotid artery stenting (CAS) has emerged as a less invasive alternative for revascularization. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an increase in stenting parallels a decrease in endarterectomy, if there are specific patient factors that influen...
متن کاملAge and outcomes after carotid stenting and endarterectomy: the carotid revascularization endarterectomy versus stenting trial.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High stroke event rates among carotid artery stenting (CAS)-treated patients in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stenting Trial (CREST) lead-in registry generated an a priori hypothesis that age may modify the relative efficacy of CAS versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA). In the primary CREST report, we previously noted significant effect modification by...
متن کاملSex differences in carotid endarterectomy outcomes.
Endarterectomy Outcomes To the Editor: In a resent publication by Kapral and colleagues, it was concluded that the perioperative rates from carotid endarterectomy are similar in male and female patients.1 Respectively for male and female patients, the perioperative mortality rates were 1.8% and 1.2%, the nonfatal stroke rates were 4.2% and 5.0%, and combined death or stroke rates were 5.9% and ...
متن کاملAssociation of surgical specialty and processes of care with patient outcomes for carotid endarterectomy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because there is considerable variation in practice patterns and outcomes for carotid endarterectomy (CE), there is a need to study the processes of care that are associated with adverse outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of processes of care and surgical specialty on adverse outcomes for CE. METHODS A retrospective cohort study based on a vol...
