Morbidity Score

Introduction: We sought to determine the association of CV health at younger ages with the proportion of life lived free of morbidity, the cumulative burden of morbidity, and average healthcare costs at older ages. Methods: The Chicago Heart Association (CHA) study is a longitudinal cohort of employed men and women aged 18-59 years at baseline exam in 1967-1973. Baseline risk factor levels included blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, BMI and smoking. Individuals were classified into one of four strata: favorable levels of all factors, 0 factors high but 1+ elevated, 1 high, and ≥2 high risk factors. Linked CMS/NDI data from 1984-2010 were used to determine morbidity in older age providing up to 40 years of follow-up. We included participants who were age 65+ between 1984 and 2010 and enrolled in Medicare FFS. All-cause morbidity was defined using the Gagne score. A CV morbidity score was defined as the sum of 4 CVDs including CHD (includes MI), PVD, cerebrovascular disease and CHF. Results: We included 25,390 participants (43% female, 90% White, mean age 44 at baseline); 6% had favorable levels, 19% had 1+ risk factors at elevated levels, 40% had 1 high risk factor and 35% had 2+ high risk factors. As compared to those with 2+ high risk factors, favorable CV health had lower levels of all-cause and CV morbidity from age 65-90 years, and a lower cumulative morbidity burden (p<0.001) translating to lower average annual healthcare costs ($15,905 vs $20,791 per year, p<0.001). Favorable CV health postponed the onset of all-cause morbidity by 4.5 years, the onset of CV morbidity by almost 7 years and extended life by almost 4 years resulting in a compression of morbidity on both the absolute and relative scale (see figure). Conclusion: Individuals in favorable CV health live a longer, healthier life and a greater proportion of life free of morbidity. These findings provide support for prevention efforts aimed at preserving cardiovascular health and reducing the burden of disease in older ages.

A Prospective Study

This was a prospective study conducted in pregnant patients with high risk factors who got admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Care Hospital, Jamnagar during the period from May 2018 to September 2020. Background: High-risk pregnancies causes many adverse perinatal outcomes. Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive technique to study the feto-maternal circulation to guide the clinical management. Objective: This study aims at evaluating the role of colour Doppler in high-risk pregnancies and their perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study carried out for 29 months in the Department of Radiology with antenatal women in the age group of 18-35 years with singleton pregnancy of gestational age of <28 weeks to >35 weeks having high-risk factors considered in study. The risk factors considered were pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), gestational diabetes, anemia, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios and IUGR. Doppler study of umbilical artery and fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA) arteries was done and amniotic fluid index (AFI) was measured. Parameters in the form of resistive index, pulsatility index, and systolic/diastolic ratio were taken. obstetric history was taken with regular interval follow up. Results: The study was carried out with 50 patients. High-risk pregnancy was more common in the age group of 21-25 years. The most common high-risk factor in pregnancy was oligohydramnios which accounted for 30% of cases. Out of 50 high-risk pregnancies, 5 (10 %) of cases resulted in intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Out of 50 high-risk cases, in 36 cases, umbilical artery findings were abnormal. 3 patients had intrauterine death (IUD) and 27 patients had poor perinatal outcome. Umbilical artery abnormality showed significant sensitivity and negative predictive value for adverse (poor + IUD) perinatal. Correlation was seen between high risk pregnancy and need of emergency caesarean section and induction and associated adverse perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Combination of different arterial waveform study enhance the diagnostic accuracy in identifying those intrauterine growth restricted foetuses that were at risk. Keywords: Colour Doppler, high risk pregnancy, perinatal outcome.
