Prediction score project for the incidence of long-term cerebrovascular events among patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective study from the real world.
Although the rates of long‑term outcome events are low, stroke is associated with high short- and long‑term mortality and adversely affects the quality of life of patients with a history of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ The prediction model was internally validated and calibrated in large cohorts of patients with MI receiving primary PCI therapy. This risk score allows re‑evaluation of the risk of cerebrovascular events in patients after primary PCI.

Weather as a potential cause of regional differences in the dynamics of the COVID-19 epidemic in Poland - implications for epidemic forecasting.
COVID‑19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Little is known on the impact of weather conditions on the transmission of COVID‑19. ⋯ The delayed effects of the meteorologic factors on the incidence of COVID‑19 and the risk of hospitalization for COVID‑19 were observed. In each voivodeship, the dynamics of COVID‑19 transmission was most strongly affected by relative humidity and daily maximum temperature.
