Introduction: Even though atrial fibrillation (AF) is present in >30% of patients with aortic stenosis (AS), it is not typically included in the decision-making algorithm for the timing or need for aortic valve replacement (AVR), either by transcatheter (TAVR) or surgical (SAVR) approaches. Large scale data on how AF affects outcomes of AS patients remain scarce. Methods: From the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), we retrospectively identified AS patients aged ≥18years, with and without AF admitted between January and June in 2016 and 2017 (to allow for a six month follow up), using the International Classification of Diseases-10 th revision codes. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to examine the predictors of in-hospital mortality during index hospitalization. In-hospital complications and 6 month in-hospital mortality during any readmission after being discharged alive were compared in patients with and without AF, for patients undergoing TAVR, SAVR or no-AVR. Results: We identified 403,089 AS patients, of which 41% had AF. Patients with AF were older (median age in years: 83 vs. 79) and were more frequently females (52% vs. 48%; p<0.001). Table summarizes outcomes of AS patients with and without AF. TAVR in patients with AF was associated with higher in-hospital mortality and follow-up mortality as compared to patients without AF. Although AF did not influence in-hospital mortality in SAVR population, follow-up mortality was also significantly higher after SAVR in patients with AF compared to patients without AF. For patients not undergoing AVR, in-hospital and follow-up mortality were higher in AF population compared to no AF and was higher than patients undergoing AVR (Table). Conclusions: AF is associated with worse outcomes in patients with AS irrespective of treatment (TAVR, SAVR or no-AVR). More studies are needed to understand the implications of AF in AS population and whether earlier treatment of AS in patients with AF can improve outcomes.

BACKGROUND The health aspects, disease frequencies, and specific health interests of prisoners and refugees are poorly understood. Importantly, access to the health care system is limited for this vulnerable population. There has been no systematic investigation to understand the health issues of inmates in Switzerland. Furthermore, little is known on how recent migration flows in Europe may have affected the health conditions of inmates. OBJECTIVE The Swiss Prison Study (SWIPS) is a large-scale observational study with the aim of establishing a public health registry in northern-central Switzerland. The primary objective is to establish a central database to assess disease prevalence (ie, International Classification of Diseases-10 codes [German modification]) among prisoners. The secondary objectives include the following: (1) to compare the 2015 versus 2020 disease prevalence among inmates against a representative sample from the local resident population, (2) to assess longitudinal changes in disease prevalence from 2015 to 2020 by using cross-sectional medical records from all inmates at the Police Prison Zurich, Switzerland, and (3) to identify unrecognized health problems to prepare successful public health strategies. METHODS Demographic and health-related data such as age, sex, country of origin, duration of imprisonment, medication (including the drug name, brand, dosage, and release), and medical history (including the International Classification of Diseases-10 codes [German modification] for all diagnoses and external results that are part of the medical history in the prison) have been deposited in a central register over a span of 5 years (January 2015 to August 2020). The final cohort is expected to comprise approximately 50,000 to 60,000 prisoners from the Police Prison Zurich, Switzerland. RESULTS This study was approved on August 5, 2019 by the ethical committee of the Canton of Zurich with the registration code KEK-ZH No. 2019-01055 and funded in August 2020 by the “Walter and Gertrud Siegenthaler” foundation and the “Theodor and Ida Herzog-Egli” foundation. This study is registered with the International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number registry. Data collection started in August 2019 and results are expected to be published in 2021. Findings will be disseminated through scientific papers as well as presentations and public events. CONCLUSIONS This study will construct a valuable database of information regarding the health of inmates and refugees in Swiss prisons and will act as groundwork for future interventions in this vulnerable population.

The Impact

ObjectiveTo determine trends and impact on outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with pre-existing psychosis.BackgroundWhile post-AF psychosis has been extensively studied, contemporary studies including temporal trends on the impact of pre-AF psychosis on AF and post-AF outcomes are largely lacking.MethodsWe used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the healthcare cost and utilization project (HCUP) from year's 2002–2012. We identified AF and psychosis as primary and secondary diagnosis respectively using validated international classification of diseases, 9th revision, and Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes, and used Cochrane–Armitage trend test and multivariate regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsWe analyzed total of 3.887.827AF hospital admissions from 2002–2012 of which 1.76% had psychosis. Proportion of hospitalizations with psychosis increased from 5.23% to 14.28% (P trend < 0.001). Utilization of atrial-cardioversion was lower in patients with psychosis (0.76%v vs. 5.79%, P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with Psychosis (aOR 1.206; 95%CI 1.003–1.449; P < 0.001) and discharge to specialty care was significantly higher (aOR 4.173; 95%CI 3.934–4.427; P < 0.001). The median length of hospitalization (3.13 vs. 2.14 days; P < 0.001) and median cost of hospitalization (16.457 vs. 13.172; P < 0.001) was also higher in hospitalizations with psychosis.ConclusionsOur study displayed an increasing proportion of patients with Psychosis admitted due to AF with higher mortality and extremely higher morbidity post-AF, and significantly less utilization of atrial-cardioversion. There is a need to explore reasons behind this disparity to improve post-AF outcomes in this vulnerable population.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Background: Large-scale and population-based studies of heart failure (HF) incidence and prevalence are scarce in China. The study sought to estimate the prevalence, incidence, and cost of HF in China. Methods: We conducted a population-based study using records of 50.0 million individuals ≥25 years old from the national urban employee basic medical insurance from 6 provinces in China in 2017. Incident cases were individuals with a diagnosis of HF (International Classification of Diseases code, and text of diagnosis) in 2017 with a 4-year disease-free period (2013–2016). We calculated standardized rates by applying age standardization to the 2010 Chinese census population. Results: The age-standardized prevalence and incidence were 1.10% (1.10% among men and women) and 275 per 100 000 person-years (287 among men and 261 among women), respectively, accounting for 12.1 million patients with HF and 3.0 million patients with incident HF ≥25 years old. Both prevalence and incidence increased with increasing age (0.57%, 3.86%, and 7.55% for prevalence and 158, 892, and 1655 per 100 000 person-years for incidence among persons who were 25–64, 65–79, and ≥80 years of age, respectively). The inpatient mean cost per-capita was $4406.8 and the proportion with ≥3 hospitalizations among those hospitalized was 40.5%. The outpatient mean cost per-capita was $892.3. Conclusions: HF has placed a considerable burden on health systems in China, and strategies aimed at the prevention and treatment of HF are needed.

Introduction: Hypertension has been reported as one of the most common risk factor causing atrial fibrillation (AF). Also, hypertension is associated with more persistent AF. However the epidemiology for incidence of hypertensive emergency in AF hospitalization is not well documented. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that frequency of hypertensive emergency has been increasingly associated with Atrial fibrillation. Methods: National inpatient sample from 2005 -2015 was used for the present analysis. Patients over 18 years, with AF as the primary diagnosis were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code, 427.31. Patients with hypertensive emergency were identified using ICD-9-CM code. 401.0, 402.0, 403.0, 404.0, 405.0. Results: A total of 4,988,269 AF patients over 18 years of age were included in the present analysis. Of these hospitalization 49,423 had hypertensive emergency during hospitalizations and the rest 4,938,846 had no hypertensive emergency. There was a monotonic increase in the trend of rates of hypertensive emergency per 1000 AF hospitalizations, from 2005 - 2015. (P value <0.001) [Figure 1]. Conclusion: There has been a significant increase in the rates of hypertensive emergency among AF hospitalization, over the past decade. Further research is needed to investigate the reason for this increased trend.

Juvenile localised scleroderma is believed an orphan autoimmune disease, which occurs 10 times more often than systemic sclerosis in childhood and is believed to have a prevalence of 1 per 100,000 children. To gain data regarding the prevalence of juvenile localised scleroderma, we assessed the administrative claims data in the United States using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis codes. We found an estimated prevalence in each year ranging from 3.2 to 3.6 per 10,000 children. This estimate is significantly higher as found in previous studies.

Dupuytren Disease

Background: Dupuytren disease is a common fibroproliferative disorder. Multiple procedural treatment options are available, with Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum (CCH) injection being introduced in 2010. The purpose of this study was to investigate trends in the treatment of Dupuytren disease in the United States between 2007 and 2014. Methods: The PearlDiver Humana database was queried using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for patients with Dupuytren disease that received percutaneous needle aponeurotomy (PNA), fasciotomy, fasciectomy, and CCH injection. Patients were filtered by age, number of comorbidities, and gender. Change in composition of treatments over time was analyzed for each demographic group between 2007 and 2014. Results: Patients presenting to clinic for Dupuytren disease increased from 1118 to 3280, with unchanging treatment percentage of 41. Percent fasciotomies and fasciectomies decreased from 5% to 3% and 33% to 21%, while CCH injection increased to 11% by 2012 to 2014. Percent fasciotomies decreased ( P < .05) in younger healthier (age <65, 0-1 comorbidities) and older less healthy (age 65-74, 4+ comorbidities) populations. Percent fasciectomies decreased significantly in nearly all age and comorbidity groups, but by greater amounts in patients with 2+ comorbidities with increasing age. Percent CCH injections increased in all groups, at rates similar to the losses seen in open procedures. Conclusions: CCH injections have risen to substantial levels, with corresponding decreases in the percentage of patients receiving fasciotomies and fasciectomies. Patient age, comorbidities, and gender appear to have influence on the treatment chosen, likely due to their effects on surgical risk and the importance of timely return to activity.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI) and in-hospital mortality (IHM) in a large nationwide cohort of elderly subjects in Italy. Methods: We analyzed the hospitalization data of all patients aged ≥65 years, who were discharged with a diagnosis of AKI, which was identified by the presence of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM), and extracted from the Italian Health Ministry database (January 2000 to December 2015). Data regarding age, gender, dialysis treatment, and comorbidity, including the development of sepsis, were also collected. Results: We evaluated 760,664 hospitalizations, the mean age was 80.5 ± 7.8 years, males represented 52.2% of the population, and 9% underwent dialysis treatment. IHM was 27.7% (210,661 admissions): Deceased patients were more likely to be older, undergoing dialysis treatment, and to be sicker than the survivors. The population was classified on the basis of tertiles of comorbidity score (the first group 7.48 ± 1.99, the second 13.67 ± 2,04, and third 22.12 ± 4.13). IHM was higher in the third tertile, whilst dialysis-dependent AKI was highest in the first. Dialysis-dependent AKI was associated with an odds ratios (OR) of 2.721; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.676–2.766; p < 0.001, development of sepsis was associated with an OR of 1.990; 95% CI 1.948–2.033; p < 0.001, the second tertile of comorbidity was associated with an OR of 1.750; 95% CI 1.726–1.774; p < 0.001, and the third tertile of comorbidity was associated with an OR of 2.522; 95% CI 2.486–2.559; p < 0.001. Conclusions: In elderly subjects with AKI discharge codes, IHM is a frequent complication affecting more than a quarter of the investigated population. The increasing burden of comorbidity, dialysis-dependent AKI, and sepsis are the major risk factors.

Context: Diabetes is a risk factor for dementia, but the effects of diabetic severity on dementia are unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the severity and progress of diabetes and the risk of dementia. Design and Setting: We conducted a 12-year population-based cohort study of new-onset diabetic patients from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The diabetic severity was evaluated by the adapted Diabetes Complications Severity Index (aDCSI) from the prediabetic period to the end of follow-up. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) of the scores and change in the aDCSI. Participants: Participants were 431,178 new-onset diabetic patients who were older than 50 years and had to receive antidiabetic medications. Main Outcome: Dementia cases were identified by International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, code (International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision, codes 290.0, 290.1, 290.2, 290.3, 290.4, 294.1, 331.0), and the date of the initial dementia diagnosis was used as the index date. Results: The scores and change in the aDCSI were associated with the risk of dementia when adjusting for patient factors, comorbidity, antidiabetic drugs, and drug adherence. At the end of the follow-up, the risks for dementia were 1.04, 1.40, 1.54, and 1.70 (P &lt; .001 for trend) in patients with an aDCSI score of 1, 2, 3, and greater than 3, respectively. Compared with the mildly progressive patients, the adjusted HRs increased as the aDCSI increased (2 y HRs: 1.30, 1.53, and 1.97; final HRs: 2.38, 6.95, and 24.0 with the change in the aDCSI score per year: 0.51–1.00, 1.01–2.00, and &gt; 2.00 vs &lt; 0.50 with P &lt; .001 for trend). Conclusions: The diabetic severity and progression reflected the risk of dementia, and the early change in the aDCSI could predict the risk of dementia in new-onset diabetic patients.
