DCRI and Digital Solutions: A New World of Evidence Generation
From thought leadership on a national stage to driving adoption for digital health technologies, the DCRI is leading the way in the digital therapeutic space.
Special Considerations for Resuscitation of Older Patients
Resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest should not be administered using a one-size-fits-all approach, especially when treating older patients, according to an editorial in
Abnormal Electrocardiography Despite Normal Stress Echocardiography Could be Warning Sign
Findings from a DCRI-led study recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggest new prognostic implications for patients who have abnormal exercise electrocardiography (ECG) but normal stress echocardiography (Echo) results.
In clinical practice, exercise ECG is combined with stress Echo imaging for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Although it is not uncommon for patients to have discordant results (abnormal ECGs and normal Echos), it was previously unclear whether this had any prognostic significance for these patients. An observational study led by DCRI’s Melissa Daubert, MD, sought to answer this question.
Longitudinal Study Links Variable Blood Pressure in Young Adults to Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease
Two DCRI researchers contributed to a study that points to a potential early warning sign for increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
DCRI Study Reveals Opportunities to Improve Resuscitation Care for Patients on Dialysis
A recent study led by the DCRI leveraged real-world data to shed new light on resuscitation for patients on maintenance dialysis when they experience in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Evidence from DCRI Study Supports Effectiveness of Digital Treatment for ADHD
Evidence from a recently completed DCRI-led clinical trial supports the hypothesis that an investigational digital therapeutic may be an effective treatment for children with ADHD.
EXSCEL Contributes to New Discoveries via Secondary Manuscripts
The EXSCEL trial, which explored the impact of exenatide on major cardiovascular events in patients with Type 2 diabetes, has also published nearly a dozen secondary manuscripts on a range of topic
More Individualized Decision Making Needed in Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
The observational study found that amongst acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator, patients who had experienced a previous stroke within the past two w
Certain Risk Factors Could Predict High Costs for Patients with Musculoskeletal Pain
A new analysis from the DCRI showed that 35 percent of direct costs related to musculoskeletal pain were attributable to about 4 percent of patients who were persistent high-cost utilizers.
Survey Finds Older Cardiac Patients Have Different Goals, Lower Risk Tolerance
The survey focused on invasive cardiac care and measured patient knowledge, goals, and concerns related to these procedures.
