BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to examine the magnitude of, and 20-year trends in, age differences in short-term outcomes among men and women hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in central Massachusetts.
METHODS: The study population consisted of 5907 male and 4406 female residents of the Worcester, MA, metropolitan area hospitalized at all greater Worcester medical centers with AMI between 1986 and 2005.
RESULTS: Overall, among both men and women, older patients were significantly more likely to have developed atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and to have died during hospitalization and within 30 days after admission compared with patients …
Outcomes Of Early Versus Late Nephrology Referral In Chronic Kidney Disease – A Systematic Review, Neil A. Smart Assoc. Prof.
Outcomes Of Early Versus Late Nephrology Referral In Chronic Kidney Disease – A Systematic Review, Neil A. Smart Assoc. Prof.
Neil Smart
Background As late provision of specialist care, prior to starting dialysis therapy, is believed to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, a systematic review was undertaken to evaluate clinical outcomes relating to early versus late referral of patients to nephrology services.
Methods: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched up until September 2008 for studies of early versus late nephrology referral in adult (>18 years) patients with chronic kidney disease. Early referral was defined by the time period, at which patients were referred to a nephrologist.
Findings: No randomized, controlled trials were found. …
Cost-Effectiveness Of Lowering Blood Pressure With A Fixed Combination Of Perindopril And Indapamide In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Advance Trial-Based Analysis, Paul Glasziou, Philip Clarke, Jan Alexander, Mohana Rajmokan, Elaine Beller, Mark Woodward, John Chalmers, Neil Poulter, Anushka Patel
Cost-Effectiveness Of Lowering Blood Pressure With A Fixed Combination Of Perindopril And Indapamide In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Advance Trial-Based Analysis, Paul Glasziou, Philip Clarke, Jan Alexander, Mohana Rajmokan, Elaine Beller, Mark Woodward, John Chalmers, Neil Poulter, Anushka Patel
Elaine Beller
Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness of routine administration, irrespective of blood pressure (BP), of a fixed-dose combination of perindopril and indapamide to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Design, setting and participants: Prospective cost-effectiveness analysis within the Action in Diabetes and Vascular Disease: Preterax and Diamicron-MR Controlled Evaluation (ADVANCE) trial, an international, multicentre, randomised controlled trial of 11 140 participants with type 2 diabetes randomly allocated to receive perindopril plus indapamide (4mg-1.25mg/day) or placebo.
Main outcome measures: Health-related quality-of-life measured by the EuroQol-5D, resource utilisation, and cost-effectiveness (cost per death averted at 4.3 years' average follow-up, and …

Bucindolol: A Pharmacogenomic Perspective On Its Use In Chronic Heart Failure, Neil Smart
Bucindolol: A Pharmacogenomic Perspective On Its Use In Chronic Heart Failure, Neil Smart
Neil Smart
Bucindolol is a non-selective ß-adrenergic receptor blocker with a-1 blocker properties and mild intrinsic sympatholytic activity. The Beta-Blocker Evaluation of Survival Trial (BEST), which is the largest clinical trial of bucindolol in patients with heart failure, was terminated prematurely and failed to show an overall mortality benefit. However, benefits on cardiac mortality and re-hospitalization rates were observed in the BEST trial. Bucindolol has not shown benefits in African Americans, those with significantly low ejection fraction and those in NYHA class IV heart failure. These observations could be due to the exaggerated sympatholytic response to bucindolol in these sub-groups that may …
