Social Determinants of Cardiovascular Health: A Longitudinal Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in US Counties From 2009 to 2018

Heejung Son et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify the most important social determinants associated with CVD mortality in US counties. The study found that rural counties and counties with a higher percentage of Black residents had consistently higher CVD mortality rates. Median income, food, and housing status consistently predicted higher CVD mortality.

Hispanic Ethnicity and Social Determinants of Health in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension The Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry

Roberto J. Bernardo et al.

Summary: Representation of minorities in clinical trials and registries for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is lacking. This study examined the association between Hispanic ethnicity, social determinants of health, and clinical outcomes in PAH. The results showed that social determinants of health played an important role in the association between ethnicity and outcomes in PAH.

Prediction of patient outcomes through social determinants of health: The Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR) evaluation

Dan Grinnan et al.

Summary: This study developed a model to predict important patient outcomes based on social determinants of health (SDOH) and other patient characteristics in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. The model showed a correlation with composite patient outcome, indicating the potential role of SDOH in prognostic modeling of PAH.

Prevalence, incidence, and survival of pulmonary arterial hypertension: A systematic review for the global burden of disease 2020 study

Sophia Emmons-Bell et al.

Summary: This study examined the global burden of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by analyzing available epidemiologic data. The data showed variations in the prevalence, incidence, and mortality of PAH across different regions and studies. There were also noticeable differences between genders. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of harmonization of methods for PAH registries to improve disease surveillance.

Comparing Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension Patients at a Pulmonary Hypertension Center versus Community Centers

Hollie Saunders et al.

Summary: It is important to accurately diagnose the correct group for patients with pulmonary hypertension as it will affect their disease management. This study found that evaluation and treatment at a specialized pulmonary hypertension center can lead to clarification or change in the diagnostic group, reducing misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Additionally, the study found that a significant proportion of patients who were initiated on pulmonary hypertension specific treatment prior to presentation had their medication stopped, resulting in substantial cost savings.

Development and Validation of an Abridged Version of the REVEAL 2.0 Risk Score Calculator, REVEAL Lite 2, for Use in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Raymond L. Benza et al.

Summary: REVEAL Lite 2, a simplified version of REVEAL 2.0, provides a convenient method for risk assessment in PAH patients. It includes six noninvasive variables and effectively discriminates among low, intermediate, and high-risk patients for 1-year mortality, showing promise for routine clinical implementation.

EmPHasis-10 as a measure of health-related quality of life in pulmonary arterial hypertension: data from PHAR

Marissa Borgese et al.

Summary: The e10 score is associated with demographic and clinical characteristics of PAH patients, suggesting influences from various factors on health-related quality of life. By deriving an estimate for the minimally important difference, it helps to better understand the clinical application of the e10 score.

Survival and Lung Transplant Outcomes for Individuals With Advanced Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease Living in the United States and Canada An Analysis of National Registries

Kathleen J. Ramos et al.

Summary: The study revealed that among patients with FEV1 < 40% predicted, there are lower rates of lung transplant and an increased risk of death without lung transplant for US patients compared with Canadian patients. This difference is more significant among US patients with Medicaid/Medicare health insurance and nonwhite patients, suggesting potential disparities in access to lung transplants among vulnerable populations.

Clinical Differences and Outcomes between Methamphetamine-associated and Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in the Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry

Nicholas A. Kolaitis et al.

Summary: Meth-APAH is associated with younger age, lower socio-economic status, and worse health-related quality of life compared to idiopathic PAH. Patients with Meth-APAH are more likely to seek care in the emergency department and be hospitalized.
