The DOACs might potentially have lower risk on decline in renal function than warfarin. The aim of this study was to examine the renal outcomes among rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran and warfarin. Method Using a clinical database from a single-center, this cohort study identified 2203 adults with AF who started anticoagulation therapy between July 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was adopted to balance baseline characteristics among four groups. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiorenal outcomes, involving ≥ 30% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), renal failure, cardiovascular death, and renal death. Other renal outcomes of interest including ≥ 30% decline in eGFR, doubling of serum creatinine, the incidence of acute kid...

Patients with VD aged 35~65 years were recruited. For each VD patient, five age-matched, sex-matched and comorbidity-matched patients were randomly selected and recruited as controls. Control patients had no documented disability.ResultsThis study recruited 978 patients with VD (mean age±SD, 55.1±7.8 years; 48.9% male) and 4677 controls. Compared with the same sex of the controls, women with VD had higher incidence of MACE 1 (7.9 vs 2.8/1000 person-years, p<0.001), MACE 2 (27.5 vs 16.9/1000 person-years, p<0.001), MACE 3 (3.7 vs 1.4/1000 person-years, p<0.005) and MACE 4 (4.5 vs 2.5/1000 person-years, p<0.05), and men with VD h...

However, the data on the efficacy and safety of potent P2Y12 inhibitors in elderly Asian populations was limited. We aimed to investigate the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), bleeding events, and net adverse clinical events (NACE) with ticagrelor and clopidogrel in Taiwanese patients aged 65 and older after acute myocardial infarction (AMI).MethodsThis retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database. The AMI patients aged ≥65 years who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and survived after 1 month were included. The patients were separated into 2 cohorts depending on the type of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) they received: ticagrelor plus aspirin (T + A) or clopidogrel plus aspirin (C + A). We used inverse probability of treatment weighting to balance the difference between th...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of switching dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) on the major vascular risk after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by using Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Methods In total, 1,903 and 4,059 patients defined as switched to aspirin and clopidogrel (switched DAPT) and continuation of aspirin and ticagrelor (unswitched DAPT) cohort, respectively who had received PCI during AMI hospitalization, on aspirin and ticagrelor initially and without occurring adverse events at 3 months were evaluated between 2013 and 2015. An inverse probability treatment of weighted approach was adopted to balance the baseline differe...

Objectives This study compared the performances of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI), Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE), Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI), and Revised Controlled Abciximab and Device Investigation to Lower Late Angioplasty Complications (Revised CADILLAC) risk scores in predicting in-hospital and long-term outcomes in diabetic NSTEMI patients. Methods A total of 750 diabetic NSTEMI patients from 27 hospitals were enrolled between January 2013 and December 2015 in the nationwide registry initiated by the Taiwan Society of Cardiology. Four score systems were calculated with receiver operator characteristic analysis used to compare outcome discrimination performance. Results No studied risk scores reached acceptab...

Between November 2013 and June 2015, 1534 patients were recruited into the Acute Coronary Syndrome-Diabetes Mellitus Registry of the Taiwan Society of Cardiology (TSOC ACS-DM registry). After propensity score matching, a total of 730 patients undergoing successful revascularization and discharged on ticagrelor (N = 365) or clopidogrel (N = 365) were analyzed. The primary and secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and re-hospitalization, respectively. The all-cause death associated with ticagrelor vs clopidogrel was 3.6% vs 7.4% (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.34 [0.15–0.80]; P = .0138) at 24 months. The re-hospitalization rate at 24 months was 38.9% vs 39.2% (P = .3258). For diabetic patients ...

Methods and results We retrospectively evaluated patients who had received PCI during AMI hospitalisation and were initially on aspirin and ticagrelor and without adverse events at 3 months between 2013 and 2016. In total, 1,901 and 8,199 patients were identified as switched DAPT (switched to aspirin and clopidogrel) and unswitched DAPT (continued on aspirin and ticagrelor) cohorts, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 8 months, the incidence rates (per 100 person-year) of death, AMI readmission and MACE were 2.89, 3.68 and 4.91 in the switched cohort and 2.42, 3.28 and 4.72 in the unswitched cohort, respectively based on an inverse probability of treatment weighted method.

However, the effects of the vaccine on decreasing the risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) development in such patients remain unclear.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 18,658 patients with COPD (≥55 years old) from the National Health Insurance Research Database from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2012. After a 1:1 propensity score matching by the year of diagnosis, we divided the patients into vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Time-varying Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to assess the time to event hazards of influenza vaccination exposure.Results: The risk of VA occurrence was significantly lower in the vaccinated group during influenza season and all seasons [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.62, 95% CI: 0.41–0.95; aHR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.44–1.08; and aHR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.48–0.89, in the influenza season, no...

Patients who had received PCI during hospitalization for AMI (between 2013 and 2016) and were initially treated with aspirin and ticagrelor and without adverse events after 3 months of treatment were retrospectively evaluated. In total, 1,901 and 8,199 patients were identified as “de-escalated DAPT” (switched to aspirin and clopidogrel) and “unchanged DAPT” (continued on aspirin and ticagrelor) cohorts, respectively. With a mean follow-up of 8 months, the incidence rates (per 100 person-year) of death, AMI readmission and MACE were 2.89, 3.68, and 4.91 in the de-escalated cohort and 2.42, 3.28, and 4.72 in the unchanged cohort, respectively, based on an inverse probability of treatment weighted approach th...

We Used the Taiwan Longitudinal Health insurance database 2000 to 2008, the cohort study comprised patients age over 40 with a recorded new diagnosis of hypertension between January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2008, in addition, patients who had diagnosis of osteoporosis before the date of cohort enter were excluded. After the definite diagnosis of hypertension, each patient was followed until osteoporotic fracture happened or the end of 2008. The occurrence of osteoporotic fracture was evaluated in patients who either were or without taking RAAS blockade agents. Cox proportional hazard regressions were used to evaluate the osteoporotic fracture incidence after adjusting for known confounding factors. In total, 57,132 hypertensive pati...
