Use of a Digital Monitoring Platform to Improve Outcomes in Infants With a Single Ventricle.

Related Articles Use of a Digital Monitoring Platform to Improve Outcomes in Infants With a Single Ventricle. World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2020 Nov;11(6):753-759 Authors: Vergales J, Peregoy L, Zalewski J, Plummer ST Abstract BACKGROUND: Despite advances, infants with single ventricle heart disease continue to have high morbidity and mortality in the first year of life. Home monitoring programs (HMPs) have reduced mortality and have grown to use integrative digital platforms. The objective was to evaluate how implementation of a digital HMP platform affects nutritional outcomes in infants undergoing staged single ventricle palliation. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter,…

Frailty: Evaluation and Management

Am Fam Physician. 2021 Feb 15;103(4):219-226.ABSTRACTFrailty, which is a geriatric syndrome that affects 5% to 17% of older adults, is a state of increased vulnerability across multiple health domains that leads to adverse health outcomes. Frail older adults are at increased risk of falls, disability, hospitalizations, and death. Frailty may initially be overlooked or incorrectly identified as part of the normal aging process because of the variable nature of the presentation and diagnosis. Symptoms include generalized weakness, exhaustion, slow gait, poor balance, decreased physical activity, cognitive impairment, and weight loss. There is no current recommendation for routine screening. A comprehensive…

Effect of Atrioventricular Valve Repair on Multistage Palliation Results of Single-Ventricle Defects.

Related Articles Effect of Atrioventricular Valve Repair on Multistage Palliation Results of Single-Ventricle Defects. Ann Thorac Surg. 2021 02;111(2):662-670 Authors: Sinha R, Altin HF, McCracken C, Well A, Rosenblum J, Kanter K, Kogon B, Alsoufi B Abstract BACKGROUND: The presence of significant atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation results in unfavorable conditions that affect the success of single-ventricle (SV) multistage palliation. We report our institution’s AVV repair experience. METHODS: We examined incidence of AVV repair in 603 infants who underwent initial SV palliative surgery from 2002 to 2012. We explored patients’ characteristics and anatomic and operative details associated with death, transplantation, and…
