Impact of diabetes on the risk stratification using stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease can develop prematurely and is the leading cause of death among diabetics, making noninvasive risk stratification desirable. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with symptoms of coronary artery disease who were undergoing stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) from 5 centers were prospectively followed (2.5+/-1.5 years) for the subsequent occurrence of cardiac d...
متن کاملRisk Stratification of Hemodialysis Patients with Protein-Energy Wasting Using Hand Grip Strength and Malnutrition-Inflammation Score: are Two Indices Better than One?
Background: We aimed to detect whether risk stratification of hemodialysis (HD) patients with a combination of both malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) and hand grip strength (HGS) indices identified more precisely patients at increased risk of protein-energy wasting (PEW). Methods: This was a deductive-analytical cross-sectional study. We determined the HGS...
متن کاملScreening Asymptomatic Diabetics for Coronary Artery Disease using Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy as Selection Criteria
Diabetics with Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN), or disease of the involuntary nervous system, represent a population at especially high risk for cardiovascular mortality, including death from Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) and Sudden death [2]. They stand to derive a mortality benefit from surgical revascularization (a bypass operation), however due to neuropathy they often do not exhibit symp...
متن کاملAn Asian Validation of the TIMI Risk Score for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND Risk stratification in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is important, such that the most resource intensive strategy is used to achieve the greatest clinical benefit. This is essential in developing countries with wide variation in health care facilities, scarce resources and increasing burden of cardiovascular diseases. This study sought to validate the Thrombolysis In Myo...
متن کاملAcceptance sampling for attributes via hypothesis testing and the hypergeometric distribution
This paper questions some aspects of attribute acceptance sampling in light of the original concepts of hypothesis testing from Neyman and Pearson (NP). Attribute acceptance sampling in industry, as developed by Dodge and Romig (DR), generally follows the international standards of ISO 2859, and similarly the Brazilian standards NBR 5425 to NBR 5427 and the United States Standards ANSI/ASQC Z1....
