The three Community Hospital-based Stroke Programs collected data on 4132 stroke patients admitted to acute care hospitals during 1979 and 1980. White female stroke patients were older than the white male, nonwhite female and nonwhite male stroke patients. Nearly one-fourth (23%) of stroke patients
The possible effect of age, race, sex, consciousness upon admission, geographic location, and history of selected risk factors on the survival after stroke due to infarction or hemorrhage was determined using proportional hazards analysis (Cox regression). For each diagnostic category the most
OBJECTIVE
Our aim was to utilize a community-based approach to identify sex-related differences in risk factors for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
BACKGROUND
There are significant sex-based differences in prevalence and manifestation of SCA. Any differences related to predictors of SCA in women versus
OBJECTIVE
To examine whether comprehensive smoke-free air laws enacted in Florida, New York, and Oregon are associated with reductions in hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke.
METHODS
Analyzed trends in county-level, age-adjusted, hospital admission rates for AMI and
Importance: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed health care delivery worldwide. Although decreases in hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been reported during the pandemic, the implication
BACKGROUND
Following myocardial infarction, individual patients can have wide variations in the extent of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) and increased left ventricular (LV) mass. Both affect the risk for sudden cardiac death, but only LV ejection fraction is used for risk
From 1980 to 1988 we performed 288 femoropopliteal bypass operations in 231 patients at the Oregon Health Sciences University. The indication for the procedure was claudication in 31% and the relief of limb-threatening ischemia in 64%. Operative mortality occurred after four of these operations
The Hemostasis and Thrombosis Laboratory at the Oregon Health Sciences University identified 80 patients with significantly elevated anticardiolipin antibody (ACLA) levels. We reviewed all of their available medical records and found that 25 of these patients had associated neurological symptoms or
Glomerular fibrin thrombi may be an early indication of antibody-mediated rejection in renal allograft biopsies. However, fibrin thrombi have a broad differential; thus, we sought to evaluate the etiology and implications of glomerular fibrin thrombi in allograft biopsies of blood group and
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the results of preoperative heparin therapy followed by carotid surgery for patients with repetitive transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and high-grade carotid stenoses.
METHODS
A 4-year prospective study.
METHODS
Oregon Health Science University Hospital and Portland (Ore)
BACKGROUND
Stroke from basilar artery (BA) occlusion is a devastating neurological event with reported mortality rates of up to 90%. This series reports our experience in 15 cases using intraarterial (IA) thrombolysis to treat basilar artery stroke at the Oregon Stroke Center.
METHODS
Over a 4-year
UNASSIGNED
Delayed QRS transition zone in the precordial leads of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has been recently associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We correlated echocardiographic findings with ECG and clinical
BACKGROUND
Understanding contributions of different brain pathologies to domain-specific cognitive trajectories in the oldest old is crucial to guide future intervention studies.
METHODS
Two-hundred-twenty Oregon Alzheimer's Disease Center research participants who were cognitively intact at entry
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of congestive heart failure (CHF) in the association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD).
BACKGROUND
Recent studies have reported the possibility of an independent association between AF and SCD. We hypothesized
OBJECTIVE
Staple-assisted, endoscopic Zenker diverticulotomy has been shown to decrease both cost of treatment and length of convalescence when compared with the standard open approach. Although the endoscopic technique is generally considered to be safe, the feasibility of outpatient endoscopic
