Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of Improving Prognosis in Heart Failure Trends in Case Fatality in 66 547 Patients Hospitalized Between 1986 and 1995
Kate MacIntyre,Simon Capewell,Simon Stewart,J Chalmers,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,Adam Redpath,Jill P. Pell,John J.V. McMurray,John J.V. McMurray +9 more
TL;DR: Heart failure CF is much higher in the general population than in clinical trials, especially in the elderly, and survival has increased significantly over the last decade, although there is still much room for improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion-related readmissions following gynaecological laparoscopy or laparotomy in Scotland: an epidemiological study of 24 046 patients.
A.M. Lower,R. J. S. Hawthorn,D. N. Clark,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,A. D. Knight,Alison M. Crowe +6 more
TL;DR: With the exception of Laparoscopic sterilizations, open and laparoscopic gynaecological surgery are associated with comparable risks of adhesion-related readmissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender and survival: a population-based study of 201,114 men and women following a first acute myocardial infarction.
Kate MacIntyre,Simon Stewart,Simon Capewell,James W. T. Chalmers,Jill P. Pell,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,Adam Redpath,Harper Gilmour,John J.V. McMurray +9 more
TL;DR: Female gender increases the probability of surviving to reach hospital, and this outweighs the excess risk of death occurring in younger women following hospitalization, and overall, men have a higher 30-day case fatality than women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in case-fatality in 117 718 patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction in Scotland.
Simon Capewell,B.M Livingston,Kate MacIntyre,J Chalmers,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,Adam Redpath,Jill P. Pell,Christine Evans,Jjv McMurray +9 more
TL;DR: The increasing survival in patients admitted to hospital suggests that the trial-based efficacy of modern therapies is now translating into population-based effectiveness, however, an individual's life expectancy still halves after a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age, sex, and social trends in out-of-hospital cardiac deaths in Scotland 1986–95: a retrospective cohort study
Simon Capewell,Kate MacIntyre,Simon Stewart,J Chalmers,James Boyd,Alan Finlayson,Adam Redpath,Jill P. Pell,John J.V. McMurray +8 more
TL;DR: Mortality rates were substantially higher in deprived socioeconomic groups than in affluent groups, especially in people younger than 65 years, and population-based out-of-hospital mortality rates fell by a third in men and by a quarter in women.
