Rates and risk factors for prolonged opioid use after major surgery: population based cohort study

TL;DR: Specific patient and surgical characteristics were associated with the development of prolonged postoperative use of opioids, and these findings can help better inform understanding about the long term risks of opioid treatment for acute postoperative pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A population-based study of the drug interaction between proton pump inhibitors and clopidogrel

Journal ArticleDOI

The association of left ventricular ejection fraction, mortality, and cause of death in stable outpatients with heart failure.

TL;DR: Among HF patients in sinus rhythm, higher LVEFs were associated with a linear decrease in mortality up to an LVEF of 45%, however, increases above 45% were not associated with further reductions in mortality.
