In-Hospital Stroke in Patients with Cardiac Conditions: Do Cardiac Procedures Impact Stroke Outcomes?

Clinical takeaway Procedural status was not significantly associated with adjusted mortality among patients who developed in-hospital stroke. Later post-procedure stroke recognition marked higher mortality, but this association does not establish that delayed recognition caused worse outcomes.

Expert review of pharmacoeconomics & outcomes research

Drug acquisition accounts for a minor share of the costs associated with dobutamine-milrinone escalation in cardiogenic shock: a propensity-weighted cost analysis from Indonesia.

Clinical takeaway In this survivor cohort, drug acquisition accounted for a small share of expenditure associated with inotrope escalation. These findings inform resource-use discussions but do not establish comparative clinical benefit or causal cost effects.
