Mashup Score: 8Novel measures to assess ventricular assist device patient-reported outcomes: Findings from the MCS A-QOL study - 4 month(s) ago
Generic and heart failure-specific measures do not capture unique aspects of living with a ventricular assist device (VAD). Using state-of-the-science psychometric measurement methods, we developed a measurement system to assess post-ventricular assist device adjustment and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Mashup Score: 8JHLT: The Podcast: Episode 35: October 2023 - 7 month(s) ago
The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the October issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on lung transplantation in patients with stacked risks, and the second on bacterial pathogens found at driveline exit sites in patients with ventricular assist devices. Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, assistant professor in the division of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Michigan, hosts this episode. First, hear from senior author Edward Cantu, MD, MSCE, on his team’s study “.” Lung transplant centers are increasingly evaluating patients with multiple risk factors for adverse post-transplant outcomes, yet there is little data of the effects of these risks as they stack. The authors of the study used the UNOS registry data linked to the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to create a national encounter-level sample of healthcare data in the United States, then applied a probabilistic matching algorithm using 7 variables and determined
