The fifth Millennium Development Goal (MDG 5) established the goal of a 75% reduction in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR; number of maternal deaths per 100,000 livebirths) between 1990 and 2015. We aimed to measure levels and track trends in maternal mortality, the key causes contributing to maternal death, and timing of maternal death with respect to delivery.

Global, regional, and national levels and causes of maternal mortality during 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.

The Millennium Declaration in 2000 brought special global attention to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria through the formulation of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6. The Global Burden of Disease 2013 study provides a consistent and comprehensive approach to disease estimation for between 1990 and 2013, and an opportunity to assess whether accelerated progress has occured since the Millennium Declaration.

Health status outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention in bypass grafts vs. native coronary arteries.

The authors sought to determine the clinical characteristics and in-hospital survival of women presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).

Trends of Incidence, Clinical Presentation, and In-Hospital Mortality Among Women With Acute Myocardial Infarction With or Without Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: A Population-Based Analysis.

Background Radial access (RA) is increasingly used in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention with encouraging results. However, there are concerns about its safety and efficacy because of higher complexity and the need for strong guide catheter support. Methods and Results We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all studies published through November 2018 reporting the outcomes of RA versus femoral access in CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. Outcomes included major bleeding, access-site complications, in-hospital major adverse events, and technical success. Nine observational studies with 10 590 patients (10 617 lesions) were included in the meta-analysis. CTO lesions attempted using RA had lower Japan-CTO score (2.3±1.2 versus 2.5±1.3; P<0.001). Use of RA was associated with similar technical success (78.7% versus 78.5%; odds ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.94-1.31; P=0.24; I=23%), lower risk of access-site complications (0.73% versus 1.79%; odds ratio, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.22-0.51; P<0.001; I=0%) and major bleeding (0.18% versus 0.9%; odds ratio, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.10-0.45; P<0.001; I=0%), and similar risk of in-hospital adverse events and in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.12-1.07; P=0.07; I=0%) as compared to femoral access. Results were similar when analyzing radial-only versus any femoral access and when excluding the largest study. Conclusions As compared with femoral access, RA is used in CTO percutaneous coronary intervention of less complex lesions and is associated with fewer access-site complications and major bleeding and comparable technical success.

Radial Versus Femoral Access in Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Early discharge after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been shown to be safe in single-center studies and trials, but outcomes in broader clinical practice are unknown. Using the National Readmission Databases (1/2014 to 9/2015), we compared 30-day readmission rates between early (<3 days) and late (≥3 days) discharges after uncomplicated endovascular TAVR in a propensity-matched cohort. We examined factors associated with failure of early discharge by testing for interactions of patient factors with discharge strategy. Among 4,955 hospitalizations for uncomplicated TAVR, 1,857 (37%) were discharged early with substantial site-level variability (range 0% to 87%; median odds ratio 3.69). In the propensity matched cohort (n = 3,346), there were similar rates of 30-day readmission by discharge strategy (early vs late: 10.3% vs 10.6%; stratified log-rank p = 0.555). There was a statistically significant interaction between discharge strategy and number of chronic conditions (p = 0.007), where readmission rates were lower in patients discharged early in those with 0 to 4 chronic conditions, but not in those with 5 to 10 or >10. In conclusion, in a large "real-world" cohort, early discharge after uncomplicated TAVR was not associated with a higher rate of 30-day rehospitalization, yet there was significant variability across US hospitals. No patient characteristics were associated with increased risk of readmission with early discharge.
