Presenting signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE) are nonspecific, favoring a large use of second-line diagnostic tests such as multidetector CT pulmonary angiography (MCTPA), thus exposing patients to high-dose radiation and to potential serious complications. We investigated the diagnostic performance of multiorgan ultrasonography (lung, heart, and leg vein ultrasonography) and whether multiorgan ultrasonography combined to Wells score and D-dimer could safely reduce MCTPA tests.
362. A validated risk model to predict 90-day VTE events in postsurgical patients.

VTE is the proximate cause of 100,000 deaths in the United States each year. Perioperative VTE risk among surgical patients varies by 20-fold, which highlights the importance of risk stratification to identify high-risk patients, in whom chemoprophylaxis can decrease VTE risk, and low-risk patients, for whom the risk-benefit relationship of prophylaxis may be unfavorable.

Ventilator-associated conditions (VACs) and infection-related ventilator-associated complications (iVACs) are the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new surveillance paradigms for patients who are mechanically ventilated. Little is known regarding the clinical impact and preventability of VACs and iVACs and their relationship to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). We evaluated these using data from a large, multicenter, quality-improvement initiative.
365. Development of a novel composite stroke and bleeding risk score in patients with atrial fibrillation: the AMADEUS Study.
作者: Gregory Y H Lip.;Deirdre A Lane.;Harry Buller.;Stavros Apostolakis.
来源: Chest. 2013年144卷6期1839-1847页
The aim of the current analysis was to identify independent predictors of the overall clinical outcome of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), including both stroke/thromboembolism and/or major bleeding. Given the overlap between stroke and bleeding risk factors, a composite risk-stratification score for stroke/thromboembolism or bleeding could potentially be developed.

Assessment of the overall therapeutic effectiveness of oral appliance therapy can only be realized through objectively measured compliance. The aims of this study were to assess objectively measured compliance during oral appliance therapy at 1-year follow-up and to compare these data with self-reported use.
369. Evaluation of the predictive value of a clinical worsening definition using 2-year outcomes in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: a REVEAL Registry analysis.
作者: Adaani E Frost.;David B Badesch.;Dave P Miller.;Raymond L Benza.;Leslie A Meltzer.;Michael D McGoon.
来源: Chest. 2013年144卷5期1521-1529页
Time to clinical worsening has been proposed as a primary end point in clinical trials of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); however, neither standardized nor validated definitions of clinical worsening across PAH trials exist. This study aims to evaluate a proposed definition of clinical worsening within a large prospective, observational registry of patients with PAH with respect to its value as a predictor of proximate (within 1 year) risk for subsequent major events (ie, death, transplantation, or atrial septostomy).
370. Efficacy and safety of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol compared with fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination in adult and adolescent patients with persistent asthma: a randomized trial.

The combination of fluticasone furoate (FF), a novel inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and vilanterol (VI), a long-acting β2 agonist, is under development as a once-daily treatment of asthma and COPD. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of FF/VI with fluticasone propionate (FP)/salmeterol (SAL) in patients with persistent asthma uncontrolled on a medium dose of ICS.
371. Baseline regional perfusion impacts exercise response to endobronchial valve therapy in advanced pulmonary emphysema.

来源: Chest. 2013年144卷5期1578-1586页
Advanced heterogeneous emphysema with hyperinflation impacts exercise tolerance in COPD. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using Zephyr endobronchial valves (EBVs) has been shown to improve lung function in patients with heterogeneous emphysema. It is unclear whether the target lobe perfusion of patients receiving EBV therapy impacts exercise tolerance as measured by the 6-min walk test distance (6MWTD).

Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) offer effective control of malignant pleural effusions (MPEs). IPC-related infection is uncommon but remains a major concern. Individual IPC centers see few infections, and previous reports lack sufficient numbers and detail. This study combined the experience of 11 centers from North America, Europe, and Australia to describe the incidence, microbiology, management, and clinical outcomes of IPC-related pleural infection.

In a recent multicenter randomized trial comparing unfractionated heparin (UFH) with low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin) for thromboprophylaxis in 3,746 critically ill patients, 17 patients (0.5%) developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) based on serotonin-release assay-positive (SRA+) status. A trend to a lower frequency of HIT with dalteparin vs UFH was observed in the intention-to-treat analysis (five vs 12 patients, P = .14), which was statistically significant (three vs 12 patients, P = .046) in a prespecified per-protocol analysis that excluded patients with DVT at study entry. We sought to characterize HIT outcomes and to determine how dalteparin thromboprophylaxis may reduce HIT frequency in patients in the ICU.
379. Effect of increased blood levels of β-endorphin on perception of breathlessness.
作者: Donald A Mahler.;Alex H Gifford.;Laurie A Waterman.;Joseph Ward.;William J Kraemer.;Brian R Kupchak.;Andrew Harver.
来源: Chest. 2013年143卷5期1378-1385页
Although opioid receptors are expressed broadly in the CNS and in peripheral sensory nerve endings including bronchioles and alveolar walls of the respiratory tract, it is unknown whether the modulatory effect of endogenous opioids on breathlessness occurs in the CNS or in the peripheral nervous system. The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether increased blood levels of β-endorphin modify breathlessness by a putative effect of binding to peripheral opioid receptors in the respiratory tract.
380. CPAP improves endothelial function in patients with minimally symptomatic OSA: results from a subset study of the MOSAIC trial.
