Shift Work And Cardiovascular Events: Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Manav V. Vyas May 2012

Shift Work And Cardiovascular Events: Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Manav V. Vyas

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The prevalence of shift work is increasing in the general population. There is conflicting epidemiologic evidence on the association between shift work and cardiovascular disease. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies that measured shift work-cardiovascular disease associations. We screened 12,350 articles and identified 35 eligible studies. The pooled risk ratios (RR) for myocardial infarction, all coronary events and ischemic stroke were 1.23 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15 to 1.31, I2 = 0), 1.24 (95% CI 1.10 to 1.39, I2 = 85%) and 1.05 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.09, I2 = 0), respectively. The …

PURPOSE: To perform a systematic review of the validity of algorithms for identifying cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) using administrative and claims data. METHODS: PubMed and Iowa Drug Information Service searches of the English language literature were performed to identify studies published between 1990 and 2010 that evaluated the validity of algorithms for identifying CVAs (ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, intracranial hemorrhage, and subarachnoid hemorrhage) and/or TIAs in administrative data. Two study investigators independently reviewed the abstracts and articles to determine relevant studies according to pre-specified criteria. RESULTS: A total of 35 articles met the criteria for evaluation. …
