Disability linked to more post-COVID diagnoses in older adults

Among COVID-19 patients aged 50 and older, disability was linked to shorter time to heart and blood vessel diagnoses (time ratio 0.70 versus no disability).Among COVID-19 patients aged 50 and older, disability was linked to shorter time to heart and blood vessel diagnoses (time ratio 0.70 versus no disability).

Crude incidence of post-COVID conditions as documented in the primary care setting per 100 000 person-months of observation by disability and COVID-19 status.

Pollution links to hospital admissions varied with wildfire smoke

Relative risks of cardiovascular hospitalization were 1.09 without smoke waves versus 1.04 with them, comparing two-year particle pollution averages of 9 versus 5…Relative risks of cardiovascular hospitalization were 1.09 without smoke waves versus 1.04 with them, comparing two-year particle pollution averages of 9 versus 5 micrograms per cubic meter.

Surgery delays were not linked to hip fracture deaths in Greenland

Among 262 patients, average surgical wait was 91.4 hours, but longer waits were not associated with mortality at 30 days or one year.Among 262 patients, average surgical wait was 91.4 hours, but longer waits were not associated with mortality at 30 days or one year.

Combined social factors linked to death risk in older Brazilians

Differences between groups defined by sex, race or skin color, education and income accounted for 7% of mortality variation in an unadjusted model.Differences between groups defined by sex, race or skin color, education and income accounted for 7% of mortality variation in an unadjusted model.

Cardiac rehab after stroke linked to lower dementia risk

Over five years, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was linked to a lower rate of new dementia diagnoses than no documented cardiac rehabilitation (hazard ratio 0.70).Over five years, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation was linked to a lower rate of new dementia diagnoses than no documented cardiac rehabilitation (hazard ratio 0.70).
