Establishment and assessment of a nomogram model for predicting the risk of fulminant myocarditis: A STROBE compliant cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

We aimed to identify potential clinical predictors associated with the risk of fulminant myocarditis, and further to establish and assess a nomogram model based on significant attributes for clinical practicability.This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study, involving 28 patients with fulminant myocarditis and 35 age-, and sex-matched patients with non-fulminant myocarditis. Effect-size estimates are expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).Fifteen factors were primarily identified to be associated with the significant risk of fulminant myocarditis after adjusting for confounders. Due to strong correlation, 6 factors were retained, including mean arterial pressure (OR, 95% CI, P: .82, .72-.94, .005), creatinine (2.15, 1.13-4.10, 0.020), blood urea nitrogen (1.45, 1.04-2.02, 0.028), aspartate aminotransferase (2.62, 1.16-5.91, 0.021), troponin I (1.43, 1.07-1.90, 0.015), and ventricular wall motion abnormality (25.81, 2.52-264.69, 0.006). The contribution of the 6 significant factors to predicting fulminant myocarditis risk was significant from multi-angle analyses, and regressing these factors in a nomogram model exhibited good predictive accuracy, as reflected by both C-index (>90%, P < .001).We have identified 6 clinical factors in significant association with fulminant myocarditis, and their prediction capability was more obvious in a nomogram model. Further investigations with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up intervals are warranted.

Establishment of a Nomogram for Predicting Early Death in Viral Myocarditis.

Project description:ObjectiveThis research aimed to establish a nomogram for predicting early death in viral myocarditis (VMC) patients.MethodA total of 362 consecutive VMC patients in Fujian Medical University Affiliated First Quanzhou Hospital between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019, were included. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to detect the risk factors that most consistently and correctly predicted early death in VMC. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by calibration, discrimination, and clinical utility.Result9 factors were screened by LASSO regression analysis for predicting the early death of VMC. Combined with the actual clinical situation, the heart failure (HF) (OR: 2.13, 95% CI: 2.76-5.95), electrocardiogram (ECG) (OR: 6.11, 95% CI: 1.05-8.66), pneumonia (OR: 3.62, 95% CI: 1.43-9.85), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (OR: 4.66, 95% CI: 3.07-24.06), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 0.19-9.39) were finally used to construct the nomogram. The nomogram's C-index was 0.908 in the training cohort and 0.924 in the validation cohort. And the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram was 0.91 in the training cohort and 0.924 in the validating cohort. Decision curve analysis (DCA) also showed that the nomogram was clinically useful.ConclusionThis nomogram achieved an good prediction of the risk of early death in VMC patients.

Professional values and perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics in physical therapy students: A STROBE compliant cross-sectional study.

Project description:Undergraduate students start the acquisition of a professional identity, and begin to achieve professional values and consciousness of an ethical behavior as future health professionals. The aim of this study was describe professional values and perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics of physical therapy students. A cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 351 students participated in the study. Professional values and perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics were assessed. Ethical approval was obtained from the University Ethics Review Board. The most important value was equity, while the least one was abnegation. The second educational year showed higher scores in importance of scientific quality (P = .010 vs first year), the third year in respect for life (P = .041 vs first year, respectively), and the fourth year in respect to patient's autonomy (P = .033 vs first year). First-year students showed lower scores in perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics (P < .001 vs second, third, and fourth year), while second-year students had higher scores (P < .001 vs first and third; P = .006 vs fourth year) and no differences between third- and fourth-year students were found. Those professional values highly considered by the students were mainly shared professional values, with equity ranked highest and abnegation lowest. Furthermore, second-year students had a well-established perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics, showing significant higher scores when compared to the rest of the educational years. This is the first cross-sectional study that describes these variables among physical therapy students and it is a starting point for future. Physical therapy educators might want to take into account these findings when teaching and guiding students in developing awareness for their professional values and perception of knowledge regarding professional ethics.

Comparison of gait symmetry between poststroke fallers and nonfallers during level walking using triaxial accelerometry: A STROBE-compliant cross-sectional study.

Project description:To compare the degree of gait symmetry of chronic poststroke fallers with that of nonfallers during level walking using triaxial accelerometry.In this cross-sectional study, a total of 14 patients with chronic stroke were recruited from a community hospital from February 2015 to July 2016. Patient characteristics, including the number of falls in the previous 12 months, were obtained from medical records. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and timed up and go (TUG) test were used at the onset of the study. Triaxial accelerometers were attached to the back and bilateral lower extremities of each subject with sampling rates of 120?Hz. The cross-correlation between the acceleration signals of the affected and unaffected feet was measured to assess the degree of gait symmetry. The triaxial acceleration signals of the 5 consecutive and bilateral strides from the middle of each trial were processed to measure the cross-correlation and time delay (Ts) between the magnitude of the acceleration vector of the affected and unaffected foot.After controlling for possible confounding factors, the mixed-effect models showed that cross-correlation was significantly higher among nonfallers than fallers (??=?-0.093; standard error [SE]?=?0.029; P-value?=?0.002), and that the Ts was significantly longer among fallers than nonfallers (??=?-1.900; SE?=?0.719; P-value?=?0.011).Cross-correlation and Ts between the affected and unaffected lower extremities may be useful indicators to distinguish poststroke fallers from nonfallers.

Associations of patient-centered medical home with quality of care, patient experience, and health expenditures: A STROBE-compliant cross-sectional study.

Project description:AbstractIn efforts to improve the delivery of quality primary care, patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model has been promoted. However, evidence on its association with health outcomes has been mixed. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of PCMH model on quality of care, patient experience, health expenditures.This was a cross-sectional study of the 2015-2016 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Medical Organization Survey linked data, including 5748 patient-provider pairs. We examined twenty-four quality of care measures (18 high-value and 6 low-value care services), health service utilization, patient experience (patient-provider communication, satisfaction), and health expenditure.Of 5748 patients, representing a weighted population of 56.2 million American adults aged 18 years and older, 44.2% were cared for by PCMH certified providers. 9.3% of those with PCMHs had at least one inpatient stay in the past year, which was comparable to the 11.4% among those with non-PCMHs. Similarly, 17.4% of respondents cared for by PCMH and 18.5% cared for by non-PCMH had at least one ED visit. Overall, we found no significant differences in quality of care measures (neither high-nor low-value of care) between the two groups. The overall satisfaction, the experience of access to care, and communication with providers were also comparable. Patients who were cared for by PCMHs had less total health expenditure (difference $217) and out-of-pocket spending (difference $91) than those cared for by non-PCMHs; however, none of these differences reached the statistical significance (adjusted P > 0.05 for all).This study found no meaningful difference in quality of care, patient experience, health care utilization, or health care expenditures between respondents cared for by PCMH and non-PCMH. Our findings suggest that the PCMH model is not superior in the quality of care delivered to non-PCMH providers.

Establishment and assessment of a nomogram for predicting blood transfusion risk in posterior lumbar spinal fusion.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine the risk factors and develop a nomogram for blood transfusions after posterior lumbar spinal fusion (PSL).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, single-center study based on 885 patients receiving PSL, and data was obtained from May 2015 to September 2019. Univariable and multivariable logistics regression analysis were conducted to identify risk factors for blood transfusion, and a nomogram was constructed to individually evaluate the risk of blood transfusion. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were validated by the receiver operating characteristics (ROC), C-index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis, respectively. Bootstrapping validation was performed to assess the performance of the model.ResultsOf 885 patients, 885 were enrolled in the final study population, and 289 received blood transfusion. Statistical analyses showed that low preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), longer time to surgery, operative time, levels of fusion > 1, longer surgery duration, and higher total intraoperative blood loss (IBL) were the risk factors for transfusion. The C-index was 0.898 (95% CI 0.847-0.949) in this dataset and 0.895 in bootstrapping validation, respectively. Calibration curve showed satisfied discrimination and calibration of the nomogram. Decision curve analysis (DCA) shown that the nomogram was clinical utility.ConclusionsIn summary, we investigated the relationship between the blood transfusion requirement and predictors: levels of fusion, operative time, time to surgery, total intraoperative EBL, and preoperative Hb level. Our nomogram with a robust performance in the assessment of risk of transfusion can contribute to clinicians in making clinical decision. However, external validation is still needed in the further.

Anakinra in pediatric acute fulminant myocarditis.

Project description:BackgroundAcute fulminant myocarditis in children is associated with elevated mortality and morbidity with few advances in its medical management. Here we report a preliminary experience of children treated with IL-1 receptor antagonist associated with rapid myocardial function recovery.MethodsA retrospective case series of children admitted in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Bicêtre Hospital (AP-HP Paris Saclay University) between April 2020 and January 2022 with acute myocarditis. Children were treated with subcutaneous anakinra (an IL-1 receptor antagonist). Patients characteristics, and outcome are reported.ResultsOf 10 children admitted with acute fulminant myocarditis, eight were treated with sub-cutaneous anakinra. Seven children had SARS-CoV-2 post-infective myocarditis associated with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and one child Parvovirus B19 myocarditis. In all patients a rapid (< 24 h) improvement in myocardial function was observed with concomitant decrease in myocardial enzymes. All patients survived with full myocardial recovery.ConclusionsIn this pilot study, use of IL-1 receptor antagonist in the initial treatment of acute fulminant myocarditis in children seems to be associated with rapid stabilization and recovery.

COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundFulminant myocarditis is a catastrophic disease with high mortality and complications. A viral aetiology is frequent and the implication of SARS-CoV-2 is not yet known.Case summaryA 38-year-old woman who recently arrived from Spain presented with palpitations that started suddenly 3 days prior to presentation and were associated with haemodynamic instability, without dyspnoea or chest pain. We found features of myopericarditis on the electrocardiogram and severe systolic dysfunction on the echocardiogram. The chest tomography showed findings which suggested COVID-19 infection, and PCR for SARS-CoV-2 was positive. The cardiac magnetic resonance image showed Lake Louise criteria for myocarditis. The patient was treated with immunomodulatory, steroid, and immunoglobulin therapy, with a favourable clinical response.DiscussionThe importance of this case lies in highlighting the severe cardiac involvement in a young patient, without previous risk factors, positive for COVID-19, and the favourable response to the medical treatment given.

Fulminant Myocarditis with Combination Immune Checkpoint Blockade.

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved clinical outcomes associated with numerous cancers, but high-grade, immune-related adverse events can occur, particularly with combination immunotherapy. We report the cases of two patients with melanoma in whom fatal myocarditis developed after treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab. In both patients, there was development of myositis with rhabdomyolysis, early progressive and refractory cardiac electrical instability, and myocarditis with a robust presence of T-cell and macrophage infiltrates. Selective clonal T-cell populations infiltrating the myocardium were identical to those present in tumors and skeletal muscle. Pharmacovigilance studies show that myocarditis occurred in 0.27% of patients treated with a combination of ipilimumab and nivolumab, which suggests that our patients were having a rare, potentially fatal, T-cell-driven drug reaction.

Fulminant myocarditis in adults: a narrative review.

Project description:Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is an uncommon syndrome characterized by sudden and severe hemodynamic compromise secondary to acute myocardial inflammation, often presenting as profound cardiogenic shock, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and/or electrical storm. FM may be refractory to conventional therapies and require mechanical circulatory support (MCS). The immune system has been recognized as playing a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of myocarditis, leading to an increased focus on immunosuppressive treatment strategies. Recent data have highlighted not only the fact that FM has significantly worse outcomes than non-FM, but that prognosis and management strategies of FM are heavily dependent on histological subtype, placing greater emphasis on the role of endomyocardial biopsy in diagnosis. The impact of subtype on severity and prognosis will likewise influence how aggressively the myocarditis is managed, including whether MCS is warranted. Many patients with refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to FM end up requiring MCS, with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation demonstrating favorable survival rates, particularly when initiated prior to the development of multiorgan failure. Among the challenges facing the field are the need to more precisely identify immunopathophysiological pathways in order to develop targeted therapies, and the need to better optimize the timing and management of MCS to minimize complications and maximize outcomes.

Trends in dacryocystitis in China: A STROBE-compliant article.

Project description:The aim of the study was to review the distribution, current trends, and microbiological characteristics of bacterial pathogens isolated from dacryocystitis patients in China during the last 15 years.This is a retrospective multiple-center noncomparative case series. The medical records of 15,452 consecutive patients from 7 cities diagnosed as having dacryocystitis between 2002 and 2016 were reviewed. The patients' demographics, microbiological data, and antibiotic sensitivity were reviewed and analyzed.A total of 3344 lacrimal sac content cultures were taken (21.6%) during the study period. A pathogen was identified in 1996 samples (59.7%), with bacterial isolates accounting for 1902 of the positive cultures (95.3%). Gram-positive isolates, gram-negative isolates, and anaerobic bacteria were found in 1218 (61.0%), 607 (30.4%), and 285 (14.3%) samples, respectively. An increase in gram-positive isolates over the study duration was found (P?=?.003). The predominant isolates were coagulase negative Staphylococci (485, 25.5%), Staphylococcus aureus (186, 9.8%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (184, 9.7%), and Haemophilus influenzae (152, 9.0%). There was a trend toward increasing resistance to erythromycin from 10.5% during the first 5 years of the study to 20.7% during the last 5 years (P?<?.001). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that gatifloxacin was the most effective drug against most of gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria.The microbial culture rate of dacryocystitis in China is low. There was an increase in the percentage of gram-positive bacteria over time. The sensitivity of gram-positive isolates to tested antibiotics is relatively low compared with that of gram-negative isolates. Our data show that the empiric use of fourth-generation fluoroquinolones in refractory dacryocystitis may be justified.
