Abstract: Aims The aims of the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies (SWEDEHEART) are to support the improvement of care and evidence-based development of therapy of coronary artery disease (CAD). Interventions To provide users with online interactive reports monitoring the processes of care and outcomes and allowing direct comparisons over time and with other hospitals. National, regional and county-based reports are publicly presented on a yearly basis. Setting Every hospital (n=74) in Sweden providing the relevant services participates. Launched in 2009 after merging four national registries on CAD. Population Consecutive acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, and patients undergoing coronary angiography/angioplasty or heart surgery. Includes approximately 80 000 new cases each year. Startpoints On admission in ACS patients, at coronary angiography in patients with stable CAD. Baseline data 106 variables for patients with ACS, another 75 variables regarding secondary prevention after 12–14 months, 150 variables for patients undergoing coronary angiography/angioplasty, 100 variables for patients undergoing heart surgery. Data capture Web-based registry with all data registered online directly by the caregiver. Data quality A monitor visits approximately 20 hospitals each year. In 2007, there was a 96% agreement. Endpoints and linkages to other data Merged with the National Cause of Death Register, including information about vital status of all Swedish citizens, the National Patient Registry, containing diagnoses at discharge for all hospital stays in Sweden and the National Registry of Drug prescriptions recording all drug prescriptions in Sweden. Access to data Available for research by application to the SWEDEHEART steering group.

TL;DR: Routine thrombus aspiration before PCI as compared with PCI alone did not reduce 30-day mortality among patients with STEMI, and results were consistent across all major prespecified subgroups, including subgroups defined according toThrombus burden and coronary flow before PCI.

TL;DR: This manuscript identifies the key steps required to advance the role of electronic health records in cardiovascular clinical research and highlights the importance of collaboration between academia, industry, regulatory bodies, policy makers, patients, and electronic health record vendors.
Association Between Adoption of Evidence-Based Treatment and Survival for Patients With ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: In a Swedish registry of patients with STEMI, between 1996 and 2007, there was an increase in the prevalence of evidence-based treatments and there was a decrease in 30-day and 1-year mortality that was sustained during long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: The results indicate long-term beneficial effects of treatment with statins and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotens in receptor blockers on outcome in patients with MINOCA, a trend toward a positive effect of &bgr;-blocker treatment, and a neutral effect of dual antiplatelet therapy.

A more accurate method to estimate glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine: A new prediction equation
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

TL;DR: EQ-5D, a generic measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value that can be used in the clinical and economic evaluation of health care and in population health surveys, is being widely used by clinical researchers in a variety of clinical areas.

Association of serum phosphorus and calcium x phosphate product with mortality risk in chronic hemodialysis patients: A national study
TL;DR: This study concludes that a large percentage of hemodialysis patients who have a serum phosphorus level above 6.5 mg/dL and that this places them at increased risk of death, and supports the need for vigorous control of hyperphosphatemia to improve patient survival.

TL;DR: Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents summarize and evaluate all currently available evidence on a particular issue with the aim to assist physicians in selecting the best management strategies for a typical patient, suffering from a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome, as well as the risk–benefit ratio of particular diagnostic or therapeutic means.
