The 7-year survival of Linox leads was significantly worse than shown in Biotronik surveillance reports, but in line with other single-center studies from around the world.
Highlights
Principal component analysis (PCA) can create scores from collinear markers.
This study shows a PCA-derived score can combine cytokines in AMI patients.
An IL-6-IL-8 score using PCA independently predicts poor outcomes in AMI.
This is the first long-term follow-up study of ICD patients in New Zealand. We observed a low mortality rate when compared with other published registries, but a similar rate of both appropriate and inappropriate shock therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
