There is a high in-hospital mortality rate when CS develops as a result of VSR. Ventricular septal rupture may occur early after infarction, and women and the elderly may be more susceptible. Although the prognosis is poor, surgery remains the best therapeutic option in this setting.
Adverse pregnancy outcomes are common for HIV-infected women and are associated with low maternal CD4 percentage and pediatric HIV infection. Preterm birth, low birth weight, and small-for-gestational-age ranking, however, are also associated with previously recognized sociodemographic and obstetric factors that are not unique to HIV infection.
The strongest predictors of progression by 18 months are the presence of moderate clinical symptoms and elevated RNA copy number in the infants in the first 6 months of life. In contrast, progression by 6 months is associated with maternal and infant immun
Cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with a high mortality rate, but mortality decreased significantly from 1992 to 1997. This partly reflects the greater use of revascularization, which was associated with better outcomes. The reported international trend towards shorter admissions for myocardial infarction was also observed in this cohort.
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.
