| 1 | Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in elderly population显示文摘Background Although elderly patients have been included in published series of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), clinicalbenefit and safety remain still less defined in this population. A retrospective analysis of the results of catheter ablation for AF in a large volumecenter focused on comparison of elderly patients with the rest of the patient cohort was conducted in this study. Methods Consecutive patientswho underwent catheter ablation for AF between January 2001 and December 2016 were analysed. A total population of 3197 patients wasdichotomized by the age of 70 years (394 elderly vs. 2803 younger subjects). Patients were followed in terms of arrhythmia status and sur-vival for a median period of 18 vs. 21 and 35 vs. 57 months, respectively. Results Elderly patients were more frequently females (49% vs.29%, P 〈 0.0001), had a history of hypertension (79% vs. 57%, P 〈 0.0001), diabetes (16% vs. 11%, P 〈 0.01), stroke (9% vs. 6%, P 〈 0.01),coronary/peripheral artery disease (14% vs. 8%, P 〈 0.0001), and CHAzDS2-VASc score (3.1 ± 1.3 vs. 1.5 ± 1.2 s, P 〈 0.0001). Major com-plications were more frequent in elderly (5.3% vs. 3.2%, P = 0.03); however, this difference was driven by vascular complications (3.6% vs.1.9%, P = 0.04). There were comparable rates of cerebrovascular (0.3 vs. 0.3%) or nonvascular complications (1.8 vs. 1.2%). Good arrhyth-mia control was inferior in elderly patients as compared with the rest of the cohort, both without and with antiarrhythmic drugs: 44.2% vs.58.2% (P 〈 0.0001) and 78.2 vs. 83.2% (P 〈 0.01), respectively. Poor arrhythmia control was associated with relative risk of all-cause mor-tality of 2.7 (95% CI: 1.1-6.4) in elderly patients and 1.4 (95% CI: 0.9-2.0) in younger subjects. Conclusions Catheter ablation for AF inelderly patients is safe although somewhat less effective. Good arrhythmia control is associated with better survival, especially in elderly patients. | Josef Kautzner Petr Peichl Marek Sramko Robert Cihak Bashar Aldhoon Dan Wichterle | 2017 | Journal of Geriatric Cardiology2017,14,9: | 9 |
| 2 | Amblyopia screening for first and second-grade children in Jordan显示文摘AIM:To share the results of a national screening program for amblyopia in school children in the north of Jordan.METHODS:This is a prospective national screening study for amblyopia.The program rolls first and second-grade children(6 to 7 years old) in the north of Jordan.The eye examination included:best-corrected visual acuity,cover-uncover test,and cycloplegic retinoscopy.Monocular visual acuity was tested using an ETDRS visual acuity chart without correction.Moreover,children were tested with full cycloplegic refraction when the test criteria were met.Unilateral amblyopia was defined as a best-corrected visual acuity difference of 2 or more lines.In comparison,bilateral amblyopia was defined as a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or worse in the best eye.RESULTS:The prevalence of amblyopia for the total sample tested(n=17 203) was 2.78%(n=479).The most common cause of amblyopia was hypermetropia(64.45%),followed by previous ocular surgeries(15.1%),myopia(10.43%),strabismus(9.39%),and congenital cataract(0.63%).CONCLUSION:This is the first and only study,identifing modifiable risk factors in Jordanian children with amblyopia.In their first couple of years of elementary education,many Jordanian children are affected by amblyopia and pass unnoticed.A more governmental effort is needed into screening programs to improve vision in the Jordanian population. | Khalil M.Al-Salem Mohammad S.Saleem Ismat Ereifej Hamzeh M.Alrawashdeh Rayed Falah Hussein Obeidat Asma Ali Abdlmohdi Raeda Zaki Al-Momani Layal Mohammed Hammad Omar Ahmad al-Habahbeh Yaqeen M.Assassfeh Laith Ramzi Najib Al-Qsous Ashraf Hatim Adeeb Nasraween Tariq A.Al Maaitah Deya'-Aldin Muneer Hasan Aqeel Ibtehal Eyadeh Awad Alabdulrazzg Abdullah Mahmoud Mohammad Murad Amany Jehad Faleh AL-Zurqan Enas Jamal Mohammad Jaradat Slsabela Emad Suliman Aldhoon Ala'a Majed Dmour Ahmad Talal Asassfeh Jeries Ayman Halaseh Abdel Aziz Ammar Daoud Waha Ayman Alkasasbeh Kholoud GH.Matar | 2022 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2022,15,2: | 1 |
