Abstract
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines (guidelines) with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. In 2013, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Advisory

Nocturnal Mean Oxygen Saturation Is Associated with Secondary Polycythemia in Young Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Especially in Men.

TL;DR: Nocturnal mean SpO2 was an independent predictor of polycythemia in young adults and Hemoglobin and hematocrit values might have diagnostic utility for assessing nocturnal hypoxia severity of OSA patients, especially in men.

Clinical Validation of a Dried Blood Spot Assay for 8 Antihypertensive Drugs and 4 Active Metabolites.

TL;DR: The DBS assay is a suitable method to detect drug non-adherence, but with the exception of canrenone, the interchangeable use of plasma and DBS sampling to interpret drug quantities should be avoided.

Clinicians' Perspectives on Barriers and Enablers of Optimal Prescribing in Patients with Dementia and Coexisting Conditions.

TL;DR: Clinicians identified numerous barriers to and some facilitators of optimizing prescribing in people with dementia, which included the lack of data on efficacy and safety of most medications in peopleWith dementia, difficulty assessing medication effects in an individual patient, and the perception that stopping medications is seen as “giving up.”

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
