Atrial Fibrillation Common After TAVR and Aortic Valve Replacement

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Rajat Kalra, MBCh Cardiovascular Division University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: New-onset atrial fibrillation after aortic valve procedures is thought to occur frequently after aortic valve procedures, such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). However, the incidence estimates and implications of this new-onset atrial fibrillation in the contemporary era are unclear. We sought to examine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after aortic valve procedures, compare the incidence between TAVI and AVR, and evaluate the associated morbidity and mortality implications using a ‘big data’ approach. This big data approach employed the National Inpatient Sample and was validated in the New York State Inpatient Database. Both are publicly available datasets that are developed as part of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, a federal-state-industry partnership that is sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.  MedicalResearch.com: What are the main findings? Response: We found that the incidence of atrial fibrillation was ~50% in TAVI and AVR hospitalizations in the National Inpatient Sample cohort. The hospitalizations with new-onset atrial fibrillation had increased length of stay, odds of in-hospital stroke, and odds of in-hospital mortality. In our validation cohort, we found that new-onset atrial fibrillation occurred in ~15% of TAVI procedures and ~30% of AVR procedures. While the incidence estimates of new-onset atrial fibrillation were lower, the odds of in-hospital mortality were very similar in the validation cohort.  MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: Atrial fibrillation is commonly associated with TAVI and AVR and has important morbidity and mortality implications. Clinicians should consider discussing the possibility of atrial fibrillation as a post-procedural complication as part of the shared decision-making process prior to aortic valve procedures. MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work? Response: New-onset atrial fibrillation is likely due to a combination of patient-based and procedural factors. Now that our group and others have highlighted the importance of peri-procedural atrial fibrillation, the next step for our field is to identify preventive strategies to limit the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation after aortic valve procedures and the associated morbidity and mortality burden. At this stage, may be difficult since many of these factors are not modifiable. However, the evolution of valve design and peri-procedural management strategies may offer important advances in atrial fibrillation prevention. MedicalResearch.com: Is there anything else you would like to add? Response: Our findings also reiterate the urgent need to find a balanced approach for peri-procedural anticoagulation for aortic valve procedures. This is an area that is already rife with debate in modern-day cardiovascular medicine, given the prognostic associations of atrial fibrillation that we (and others) have demonstrated and the emerging data regarding transcatheter aortic valve thrombosis.

Amphetamine-Related Hospitalizations Skyrocket Costing $2 Billion per Year

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

Dr. Winkelman Tyler Winkelman MD, MSc   Clinician-Investigator Division of General Internal Medicine, Hennepin Healthcare Center for Patient and Provider Experience, Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute Assistant Professor Departments of Medicine & Pediatrics University of Minnesota  MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: Trends in amphetamine use are mixed across data sources. We sought to identify trends in serious, problematic amphetamine use by analyzing a national sample of hospitalizations. Amphetamine-related hospitalizations increased over 270% between 2008 and 2015. By 2015, amphetamine-related hospitalizations were responsible for $2 billion in hospital costs. While opioid-related hospitalizations were more common, amphetamine-related hospitalizations increased to a much larger degree. After accounting for population growth, amphetamine hospitalizations grew 245% between 2008 and 2015, whereas opioid-related hospitalizations increased 46%. Amphetamine-related hospitalizations were more likely to be covered by Medicaid and be in the western United States compared with other hospitalizations. In-hospital mortality was 29% higher among amphetamine-related hospitalizations compared with other hospitalizations.  MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: Serious, problematic amphetamine use may be an emerging public health. As the United States continue to grapple with the opioid epidemic, prevention and treatment practices should be developed that can be applied to substance use issues beyond opioid use disorders alone.

As the United States continue to grapple with the opioid epidemic, prevention and treatment practices should be developed that can be applied to substance use issues beyond opioid use disorders alone.  MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work?  Response: Amphetamine-related hospitalizations in our study were associated with socioeconomic characteristics and geographic patterns consistent with trends in methamphetamine use. We believe the majority of these hospitalizations are likely related to illicit methamphetamine. Nonetheless, it’s possible that some of this trend is related to prescription amphetamine use. Future studies should evaluate how amphetamine-related ICD codes are used by clinicians and the impact of expanding the number of amphetamine-related codes to improve precision. In addition, unlike opioids, pharmacologic treatment for amphetamine use disorders does not exist and effective treatments are needed.   Citation:  Winkelman TNA, Admon LK, Jennings L, Shippee ND, Richardson CR, Bart G.

LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:

University of Minnesota officials recently distributed documents to employees and student-workers advising them to keep “inappropriate religious celebrations” out of public spaces.

The document, titled “Religious Diversity and the Holidays,” encouraged recipients “to recognize the holidays in ways that are respectful of the diversity of the University community.” It listed several specific examples of “religious iconography” the university says are inappropriate for display.

“In general, the following are not appropriate for gatherings and displays at this time of year since they typically represent specific religious iconography:

Santa Claus, Angels, Christmas trees, Star of Bethlehem, Dreidels, Nativity scene, Bows/wrapped gifts, Menorah, Bells, Doves, Red and Green or Blue and White/Silver decoration themes (red and green are representative of the Christian tradition as blue and white/silver are for Jewish Hanukkah that is also celebrated at this time of year).”

The U of M (@UMNews) shared this letter with some faculty and student employees this week The colors red & green, blue & white/silver are verboten during the “winter celebration” period. Images of Santa, wrapped gifts, and bells are also deemed “religious iconography.” #BahHumbug http://pic.twitter.com/sxzqDXLLqY

— Jon Miltimore (@miltimore79) December 14, 2017

The document, which came from the school’s Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action office, was provided to Intellectual Takeout by an employee of the University of Minnesota.

The display of religious symbols in public spaces is complicated.

Dr. Douglas Laycock, a professor of law at the University of Virginia and one of the nation’s leading authorities on religious liberty, said courts have struck down some government-sponsored religious displays and upheld others.

Governments have generally been on safe ground when mixing religiously-themed holiday symbols and secular holiday symbols, Laycock noted, a compromise legal scholars derisively refer to as “the three reindeer rule.”

But the university’s policy is not really an establishment clause matter. Construing images of Santa, bells, and wrapped gifts as examples of “religious iconography” is more than a bit of a stretch, legal scholars say.

“This goes well beyond anything the Constitution requires,” said Dr. Steven Smith, a professor of law at the University of San Diego.

Smith pointed out that many of the images listed by the UofM have been included in displays to ensure they are deemed sufficiently secular to courts.

“This sounds like the university might be going a little bit berserk,” said Smith, co-executive director of the Institute for Law and Religion in San Diego.

Even if the university is going “a little bit berserk,” it is likely within its legal rights, scholars said. Courts have generally allowed employers broad leeway in establishing employment guidelines for workers.

The religious rights of workers, however, do occasionally bump against the prerogatives of employers.

In 2017, for example, a group of Muslim workers filed suit in federal court after their employer, United Parcel Service, a global shipping company, declined to accommodate their request to be given time to pray five times per day. When some employees of the company took breaks to pray without permission, they were fired by UPS. The matter is currently in litigation.

Legality aside, constitutional scholars said the effort to expunge holiday symbols from public spaces in the name of promoting diversity is neither required by law or consistent with American tradition.

“The promise of those who advocate for diversity was that we would have a richer more robust community,” said Teresa S. Collett, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas School. “The University of Minnesota guidelines suggest quite the opposite—removing red, green, blue and white from the palette of colors with which we paint our holidays.”

The University of Minnesota had not responded to request for comment prior to this article’s publication deadline.

*UPDATE: A University of Minnesota representative said the document in question was distributed “as a conversation piece to facilitate dialogue.” The representative said it does not represent the official position of the school or the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action and was not shared campus-wide.
