Acute Adverse Events After Iodinated Contrast Agent Administration of 359,977 Injections: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.
To assess the effects of patient variables, examination variables, and seasonality on allergic-like and physiologic reactions to iodinated contrast material (ICM). ⋯ Non-White patients and patients administered iopromide had higher rates of acute reactions compared with White patients and patients administered iohexol. Younger patients (<50 years vs 51 to 60 years), female sex, history of ICM allergy or other allergies, ICM dose, and contrast-enhanced CT location and type also correlated with higher acute reaction rates.

Benefit of Anticoagulation Early After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Using Bioprosthetic Valves.
To compare all-cause mortality and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) receiving anticoagulation with warfarin versus patients with no systemic anticoagulation. ⋯ During the prescription coverage period, warfarin use after bioprosthetic sAVR was associated with lower all-cause mortality and decreased risk of thromboembolism compared with not receiving warfarin. However, warfarin use was associated with an increased risk of major bleeding events.
