OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the predictors of allergic sensitisation to titanium and nickel in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. METHODS: A total of 250 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were invited to participate, and 235 were analysed (67% females). A patch test was performed using nickel sulphate, titanium, titanium dioxide, titanium oxalate, titanium nitride, and petrolatum as control. In addition, clinical signs of the oral mucosa, gingiva, tongue, lips, and allergological history were assessed. RESULTS: The predictors of metal allergic sensitisation in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were adult age (OR = 2.6; 95% CI: 1.2-5.5; p = 0.016), female sex (OR = 3.0; 95% CI: 1.1-7.9; p = 0.025), exfoliative cheilitis (OR = 4.8; 95% CI: 1.9-12.4; p = 0.001), history of contact hypersensitivity (OR = 7.0; 95% CI: 1.3-35.4; p = 0.025), history of contact hypersensitivity to metals (OR = 8.3; 95% CI: 1.4-50.2; p = 0.021), and piercings (OR = 5.4; 95% CI: 2.1-13.9; p = 0.001). When predictors were analysed separately for these two metals, titanium sensitisation predictors were contact hypersensitivity to metals and piercing, whereas nickel sensitisation predictors were age and piercing. CONCLUSION: A positive patch test alone cannot draw definite conclusions regarding allergy. However, metal allergies in patients with orthodontic appliances could be considered in cases of previous contact hypersensitivity, previous reactions to metals, exfoliative cheilitis, and piercing.

Cíl: Cílem práce bylo identifikovat prediktory terapeutické odpovědi u pacientů s panickou poruchou na kombinovanou terapii pomocí psychofarmak a kognitivně-behaviorální terapie. Metody: Data byla sledována celkem u 62 pacientů, kteří splňovali MKN-10 kritéria pro panickou poruchu. Tíže symptomatiky byla hodnocena pomocí Beckova inventáře úzkosti (BAI), Becko-va inventáře deprese (BDI), Sheehanovy stupnice úzkosti a hodnocení celkového klinického dojmu (CGI). Míra disociace bylaměřenapomocí dotazníku Dissociative Experience Scale (DES) a Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ-20). Demografická data byla získávána při vstupním pohovoru. Response byla definována jako pokles ve skóre BAI o 25%. Remise pak byla definována jako závěrečně CGI rovno 1 nebo 2. Výsledky: Pomocí krokové regrese byly identifikovány tři statisticky významné prediktory response, a to rodinný stav, přítomnost jiné úzkostné poruchy a rozdíl ve škále BAI mezi prvním a druhým týdnem. Jako prediktor dosažení remise z krokové regrese vyplynula jediná statisticky významná nezávisle proměnná - BDI. Závěr: V naší práci se podařilo identifikovat několik faktorů spojených s kvalitou odpovědi na kombinovanou terapii. Práce má však řadu limitů a v této oblasti je potřeba dalšího zkoumání.
Aim: Aim of our study was to identify predictors of therapeutic response in patients with panic disorder treated by combined pharmacotherapy a cognitive behavioral therapy. Methods: We measured 62 patients. Diagnosis was done according to MKN-10 criteria. Severity of symptoms was measured by Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Sheehan Anxiety Scale and Clinical Global Impression. Levels of dissociation were measured by Dissociative Experience Scale (DES) a Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ-20). Demographic data were obtained in the initial interview. Response was defined as decrease in BAI score of 25%. Remission was defined as last CGI score 1 or 2. Results: Three predictors of response were found using step-wise regression: marital status, comorbidity of other anxiety disorder and change in BAI score between first and second week of treatment. BDI level was identified as a predictor of remission. Conclusion: In our study we found some factors associated with quality of response to combined therapy. It is possible to see many limitations in the research and more research is required.

Cíl studie:Vyhledat měřitelné faktory předvídající přežívání pacientů po transplantaci plic. Typ studie:Retrospektivní klinická studie v jednom centru. Název a sídlo pracoviště:Klinika anesteziologie a resuscitace UK 2. LF a IPVZ, FN Motol, Praha. Materiál a metody:Do studie bylo zahrnuto 47 pacientů po transplantaci jednoho či obou plicních křídel, u kterých jsme se pokusili vyhledat faktory předvídající nepříznivou prognózu. Hodnoceno bylo PaO2, střední tlak v a. pulmonalisa hypoxemický index. Data byla zjišťována předoperačně a potom 2, 24 a 48 hodin po operaci. Hodnocení log rank testem, α = 0,05. Výsledky:Dva faktory byly spojené se statisticky významně vyšší mortalitou transplantovaných pacientů. Byly jimi horší pooperační parametry oxygenačních plicních funkcí reprezentované v naší studii hodnotami hypoxemického indexu a v pooperačním období přetrvávající vyšší hodnoty středního tlaku v a. pulmonalis. Závěr:Naše studie prokázala význam zvýšených hodnot středního tlaku v a. pulmonalisa snížených hodnot hypoxemického indexu v časné pooperační fázi, jakožto nepříznivého prognostického faktoru spojeného se zvýšenou mortalitou pacientů po transplantaci plic.
Objective:To identify measurable predictors of survival in patients after lung transplantation. Design:Retrospective monocentric clinical study. Setting:Department of Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation of the 2nd Medical School and the Institute for Postgra- duate Medical Education, Charles University Prague-Motol. Material and Methods:47 patients after single and double lung transplants were included. PaO2, mean pulmona- ry artery pressure and hypoxemic index were selected as the possible survival predictors. The assessed data were collected preoperatively and 2, 24 and 48 hours postoperatively, and analysed using log rank test, α = 0.05. Results:Two factors predicting statistically higher mortality were identified: poor postoperative oxygenation expres- sed as low hypoxemic index, and persisting postoperative elevation of the mean pulmonary arterial pressure. Conclusion:Our study showed the significance of persisting postoperative elevated mean pulmonary arterial pres- sure and low hypoxemic index as factors predicting higher mortality in patients after lung transplants.
OBJECTIVES: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is considered an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke (IS). However, not all treated patients may achieve good outcome. The aim was to evaluate whether the initial NIHSS and DWI infarct volume could be the predictors for good outcome after IVT. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The set of 125 patients with consecutive hemispheric IS (78 men; mean age 66.0 ± 12.1 years) treated with IVT within 3 h was analyzed. DWI volume was measured on admission. Good outcome was defined as a score 0-2 in modified Rankin Scale. RESULTS: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed initial NIHSS as an independent predictor of good outcome (P = 0.001). ROC curves showed baseline NIHSS ≤13.5 points and DWI volume ≤13.7 ml as cut-offs related to good outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The initial NIHSS and DWI volume might be the predictors for good clinical outcome in acute stroke patients treated with IVT. The initial NIHSS score seems to be more accurate.

AIMS: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with oral anticoagulation still suffer from cardiovascular complications including cardiovascular death, stroke, and major bleeding. To identify risk factors for predicting stroke and bleeding outcomes in anticoagulated patients, we assessed 2-year outcomes in patients with AF treated with edoxaban in routine care. We also report the age-adjusted risk predictors of clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Edoxaban Treatment in Routine Clinical Practice for Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (ETNA-AF) Europe (NCT02944019) is a prospective, multi-centre, post-authorisation, observational study with an overall 4-year follow-up conducted in 825 centres enrolling edoxaban-treated patients in 10 European countries. Of the 13 133 patients with AF (mean age: 73.6 ± 9.5 years), 5682 (43.3%) were female. At the 2-year follow-up, 9017/13 133 patients were still on edoxaban; 1830 discontinued treatment including 937 who died (annualised event rate of all-cause death was 3.87%). 518 (2.14%) patients died of cardiovascular causes; 234 (0.97%) experienced major bleeding and 168 (0.70%) experienced stroke or systemic embolic events (SEE). Intracranial haemorrhage was noted in 49 patients (0.20%). History of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) at baseline was the strongest predictor of ischaemic stroke or SEE (Wald χ2: 73.63; P < 0.0001). Low kidney function at baseline was the strongest predictor of major bleeding (Wald χ2: 30.68; P < 0.0001). History of heart failure (HF) was the strongest predictor of all-cause (Wald χ2: 146.99; P < 0.0001) and cardiovascular death (Wald χ2: 100.38; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Patients treated with edoxaban in ETNA-AF-Europe reported low 2-year event rates in unselected AF patients. Prior stroke, reduced kidney function, and HF identify patients at high risk of stroke, bleeding and all-cause/cardiovascular death, respectively.

BACKGROUND: Lithium is regarded as a first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), but partial response and non-response commonly occurs. There exists a need to identify lithium non-responders prior to initiating treatment. The Pharmacogenomics of Bipolar Disorder (PGBD) Study was designed to identify predictors of lithium response. METHODS: The PGBD Study was an eleven site prospective trial of lithium treatment in bipolar I disorder. Subjects were stabilized on lithium monotherapy over 4 months and gradually discontinued from all other psychotropic medications. After ensuring a sustained clinical remission (defined by a score of ≤3 on the CGI for 4 weeks) had been achieved, subjects were followed for up to 2 years to monitor clinical response. Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the relationship between clinical measures and time until failure to remit or relapse. RESULTS: A total of 345 individuals were enrolled into the study and included in the analysis. Of these, 101 subjects failed to remit or relapsed, 88 achieved remission and continued to study completion, and 156 were terminated from the study for other reasons. Significant clinical predictors of treatment failure (p < 0.05) included baseline anxiety symptoms, functional impairments, negative life events and lifetime clinical features such as a history of migraine, suicidal ideation/attempts, and mixed episodes, as well as a chronic course of illness. CONCLUSIONS: In this PGBD Study of lithium response, several clinical features were found to be associated with failure to respond to lithium. Future validation is needed to confirm these clinical predictors of treatment failure and their use clinically to distinguish who will do well on lithium before starting pharmacotherapy.

Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death and severe neurological disability. The objective of this study was to identify clinical predictors of early neurological outcome in survivors of OHCA managed according to recent recommendations for OHCA care. Methods Data from survivors of OHCA, admitted to a tertiary cardiac intensive care unit and treated with hypothermia in a 22 months period (n=46, age 60±13 years, 74% males) were retrospectively evaluated. At 1-month follow-up, patients were classified according to the best achieved Glasgow–Pittsburgh cerebral performance categories (CPC 1–5) and factors affecting the outcome were analysed. Results At 1-month follow-up, 23 patients (50%) had favourable outcome (CPC 1–2), while 23 patients (50%) had poor outcome (CPC 3–5), including 19 with in-hospital death (41% of total). Patients with good outcome were younger (55±13 years vs. 66±10 years; P=0.003), had more often myocardial infarction as the cause of arrest (63% vs. 30%; P=0.018) and ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia as an initial rhythm (78% vs. 39%; P=0.007). Both groups differed by lactate level on admission (4.0±4.6 vs. 7.3±4.1 mmol/l, P=0.02), after 12 h (2.5±1.1 vs. 4.3±3.2 mmol/l, P=0.04) and after 24 h (1.9±1.2 vs. 3.2±1.9 mmol/l, P=0.04). Logistic regression revealed the following independent outcome predictors: age, acute myocardial infarction and admission lactate level. Conclusion Favourable outcome was observed in a half of OHCA survivors. Young age, acute myocardial infarction as underlying aetiology of cardiac arrest, and low lactate level on admission were the best predictors of favourable outcome.
