Stroke complicating cardiac catheterisation was associated with an increased risk of readmission, with a significantly higher hazard of readmission for stroke noted. Despite minimal functional impairment based on modified Rankin score, stroke was associated with a significant risk of early and cumulative mortality. Stroke incidence remained stable over the study period despite changes in procedural practice. Conclusions: The incidence and functional severity of stroke remains low despite evolving procedural practice with a stable incidence over time despite changes in procedural practice; however, post-procedural stroke confirms an increased mortality hazard.]]> Wed 02 Mar 2022 12:28:28 AEDT ]]> Infectious complications of biological and small molecule targeted immunomodulatory therapies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40073 Thu 14 Jul 2022 13:32:13 AEST ]]> Estimating the glomerular filtration rate in pregnancy: the evaluation of the Nanra and CKD-EPI serum creatinine-based equations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46402 2. Results: A total of 53 synchronous urine and serum creatinine samples were analysed. The Nanra equation had a bias of -13.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 while the CKD-EPI equation had bias of 14.2 ml/min/1.73 m2. Both equations showed a high degree of proportional error and had poor agreement with 24 h urine creatinine clearance. Conclusions: None of the equations were shown to reliably measure the estimated glomerular filtration rate in pregnant women. A valid serum creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate equation in pregnancy is yet to be established.]]> Mon 21 Nov 2022 15:15:45 AEDT ]]> Effects of lockdown on acute coronary syndrome incidence in an area without community transmission of COVID-19 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46019 Mon 21 Nov 2022 08:45:03 AEDT ]]> Specificity of Myocardial perfusion imaging: issues with proposed MBS item review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48470 Fri 17 Mar 2023 15:08:44 AEDT ]]>
