Abstract

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have proven efficacy to prevent cardioembolic strokes. Data are scarce about the appropriateness of DOAC dosing in the Middle East. We investigated the prevalence of inappropriate DOAC dosing in the region. A cross-sectional study was conducted at our hospital between April 2015 and February 2019 of patients receiving 1 of the 3 available DOACs. Patients with incomplete data sets, those prescribed DOACs for indications other than atrial fibrillation, on DOACs for

Abstract

Background: Current diagnostic criteria for cardiogenic shock (CS) require the use of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), which is time-consuming and may cause complications. A set of simple yet accurate noninvasive diagnostic criteria would be of significant utility. Methods: Candidate components for the Noninvasive Parameters for Assessment of Cardiogenic Shock (N-PACS) criteria were required to be objective, readily available, and noninvasive. Variables encompassing hypotension, hypoperfusion, predisposing conditions, and elevated intracardiac filling pressures were optimized versus a PAC-based standard in a retrospective developmental cohort of 122 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The finalized criteria were validated in a prospective cohort of coronary care unit patients in whom a PAC was placed for clinical indications. Results: According to invasive criteria, CS was present in 32 of 217 consecutive patients undergoing PAC. Compared to the PAC-based standard, the N-PACS criteria had a sensitivity of 96.9% (95% confidence interval (CI) 82.0–99.8), specificity of 90.8% (95% CI 85.5–94.4), positive predictive value of 64.6% (95% CI 49.4–77.4), negative predictive value of 99.4% (95% CI 96.2–100), positive likelihood ratio of 10.5 (95% CI 6.7–16.7), negative likelihood ratio of 0.03 (95% CI 0.00–0.24), and diagnostic odds ratio of 306.4. Results were similar among patients with and without AMI. Conclusion: A simple, echocardiography-based set of noninvasive diagnostic criteria can be used to accurately diagnose CS.
