Journal ArticleDOI

The prognostic importance of anemia in patients with heart failure

TL;DR: It is found that anemia is associated with an increased risk of death and rehospitalization in older patients with heart failure and lower hematocrits were also associated with a greater risk of hospital readmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Achieving Rapid Door-To-Balloon Times How Top Hospitals Improve Complex Clinical Systems

TL;DR: This study provides a foundation for future efforts to elevate clinical performance in the hospital setting by distilling the complex and diverse experiences of organizational change into its essential components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worsening renal function: What is a clinically meaningful change in creatinine during hospitalization with heart failure?

TL;DR: Larger creatinine elevations predict highest risk of death, yet even minor changes in renal function are associated with adverse outcomes, suggesting the choice of a “best definition” for worsening renal function has implications for the number of patients identified with this risk factor and the magnitude of risk for mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspirin, beta-blocker, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy in patients with end-stage renal disease and an acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: End-stage renal disease patients are far less likely than non-ESRD patients to be treated with aspirin, beta-blockers, and ACE inhibitors during an admission for AMI, suggesting lower rates of usage for these medications may contribute to the increased 30-day mortality.
