TL;DR: The findings indicate no significant change in the incidence of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction over a 23-year period, but the short-term survival rate has increased in recent years at the same time as the use of coronary reperfusion strategies has increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recognition of vertebral fracture in a clinical setting.
TL;DR: Relatively few hospitalized older women with radiographically demonstrated vertebral fractures were thus identified or treated by clinicians, suggesting a need for improved recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robert J. Goldberg,Caitlin O'Donnell,Jorge L. Yarzebski,Carol Bigelow,Judith A. Savageau,Joel M. Gore +5 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Mammography use among sociodemographically diverse women: the accuracy of self-report.
TL;DR: For population surveillance of mammography in the past year, self-report data are generally valid, however, clinical studies requiring more precise dates must use such data with caution.
Journal ArticleDOI
