Higher Frequency of Atrial Fibrillation Linked to Colder Seasons and Air Temperature on the Day of Ischemic Stroke Onset

Osvaldo Fustinoni, +4 more
- 01 May 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this cohort of AIS patients, atrial fibrillation showed a seasonal variation and a nonhomogeneous distribution across air temperatures, with peaks in cold seasons and low temperatures on the day of stroke onset.

Global, regional, national, and selected subnational levels of stillbirths, neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality, 1980–2015: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Haidong Wang, +550 more
TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides an analytical framework to comprehensively assess these trends for under-5 mortality, age-specific and cause-specific mortality among children under 5 years, and stillbirths by geography over time as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atrial Fibrillation Detected After Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack: A Novel Clinical Concept Challenging Current Views

Luciano A. Sposato, +4 more
- 05 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: The balance of existing data indicates that AFDAS has a lower prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, a lower degree of cardiac abnormalities than known atrial fibrillation, a high proportion (52%) of very brief (<30 seconds) AF paroxysms, and is more frequently associated with insular brain infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unemployment: A Social Risk Factor Associated with Early Ischemic Stroke Mortality? Results from the Argentinean National Stroke Registry (ReNACer)

Luciano A. Sposato, +4 more
- 01 Nov 2012 - 
TL;DR: In the present study, unemployment was associated with a higher risk of adjusted in-hospital mortality, and strategies targeting individuals at high risk of cardiovascular diseases and poorer outcomes should be implemented to reduce stroke impact.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cost-effectiveness of cerebrospinal biomarkers for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

Spencer A. W. Lee, +6 more
- 16 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: The cost-effectiveness of biomarker analysis depends critically on the prevalence of AD in the tested population, and in general practice, it is unlikely to be cost-effective at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000 per QALY gained.
