Association of chronic self-perceived stress with mortality and health status outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease: insights from the portrait registry
(2020)The prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is increasing worldwide and is estimated to affect about 360 million patients by 2030. Patients with PAD are at a higher risk of premature mortality and suffer from disability ... -
The Association of Socioeconomic Status with Mortality and Hospital Length of Stay in Patients with Parapneumonic Empyema
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Background: Parapneumonic empyema is an uncommon but serious complication of pneumonia. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the prevalence of empyema may be on the rise. The aim of this study is to estimate the current ... -
Association of weight with drug dosing guideline adherence in children hospitalized with asthma

Bleeding Risk Following Percutaneous Intervention in Patients with Diabetes Prescribed Dual Anti Platelet Therapy
(2015-07-28)Patients with diabetes (DM) experience higher rates of in-stent restenosis and therefore greater benefit from drug eluting stent (DES) implant at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). DES stent implantation ... -
Decisional Conflict in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Association with Treatment Choice and Health Status
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Background: Symptom relief in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) can be obtained by invasive options such as endovascular stenting as well as exercise, and PAD medications. Each of these options have their own risks and ... -
Emerging Methods for Use of Real-World Clinical Data for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research
(2021)The purpose of this dissertation is to describe methods for use of real-world data resources to study quality of care and outcomes for patients with critical limb ischemia. We used the Cerner Health Facts de-identified EHR ... -
Guideline-Directed Statin Therapy in Patients with New or Worsening Symptoms of Peripheral Artery Disease
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Objective: The ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines recommend patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) be treated with a moderate to high-intensity statin. The extent to which PAD patients with new or worsening ... -
Health Status Implications for Comorbid Diabetes in Patients with Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease: Insights from the PORTRAIT Registry
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and coexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased rate of PAD progression and reduced walking performance as compared with non-diabetic PAD patients. It is unknown, ... -
Management, and Health Status Outcomes Of Obese Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease: Insight From The Portrait Registry
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Obesity is present in 36.2%, 20.4 % and 29.0% of adults in the US, Netherlands and Australia respectively. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and related complications. The management and health status ... -
Thirty-Day Readmissions after Early versus Delayed Discharge after Uncomplicated Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Insights from the Nationwide Readmissions Database
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)Early discharge after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has generally shown to be safe; however, studies have been limited to single centers or trial populations, making their generalizability unclear. This ...
