Abstract
A new visible imaging system characterizing a flexible optical design and delivering high resolution frames is established on the HL-2A tokamak. It features a modular configuration, consisting of a front-end imaging lens, a set of bilateral telecentric relay lenses, and a camera. To avoid the effects of plasma radiation (x and gamma-rays) and magnetic field variation on the camera, it should be away from the coils. Therefore, the length of the relay lenses determines the total size of the imaging system. The main feature of this imaging system is to realize the variation of field of view (FOV) by interchanging the front-end prime lenses or by using a zoom lens directly rather than designing the optical system afresh, which lowers the cost drastically. The primary purpose of varying FOV is to enrich the versatility of this system, i.e., focusing on a narrow FOV such as gas puff imaging or a wide FOV such as the plasma cross sections. During the HL-2A experiments, this visible imaging system is used to provide high quality pictures of the plasma-wall interaction, divertor detachment, pellet injections, and so on. The frames confirmed that a strong radiation close to the X point is correlated with the completely detached inner target.

Abstract
The retrospective study included 122 cases of multiple glioma and 183 cases of single glioma. Of these, there were 74 males and 48 female with multiple gliomas, aged 18 to 83 (53±13) years, and 104 males and 79 females with single gliomas, aged 10 to 84 (51±14) years. A standard spatial-based lesion analysis method was used for constructing a spatially distributed frequency heatmap of multiple gliomas, to observe the characteristics of their white matter invasion sites. The spatial distribution was more frequent in the subventricular zone, corpus callosum and cingulate gyrus in the multiple glioma group compared to the single glioma group (P<0.001).The white matter areas of multiple gliomas were more extensively involved, with more frequent involvement of the conjoined fibers (corpus callosum, P<0.05) and contact fibers (cingulate, dome, 0.05<P<0.10) areas.The spatial distribution of the brain and the white matter invasion of multiple gliomas have certain site specificity.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical value of pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxy glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) in extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Methods: Eighty-one patients with pathologically confirmed extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and pretreatment with PET-CT scan in Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from August 2006 to December 2017 were enrolled in the study. The clinical, follow-up and imaging data were analyzed retrospectively. The relationship between maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and prognosis were evaluated by Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation analysis. Results: Among the 81 patients, 98.8% (80/81) were upper aerodigestive tract (UAT) involved. Lesions at extra-UAT sites were detected in 7 cases, involving parotid gland (n=1), breast (n=1), spleen (n=1), pancreas (n=1), skin and subcutaneous soft tissue (n=1), muscle (n=1), lung (n=2) and bone (n=3). Lymph node involvement were demonstrated in 33 cases. All of the lesions had increased uptake of PET, the median SUVmax was 8.6. PET-CT changed staging in 15 cases, and 12 cases were adjusted treatment methods. 21 cases were changed radiotherapy target because of PET-CT. The 1-, 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 88.7% and 80.3% while 1-, 2-year overall survival (OS) rates were 97.2% and 94.4% respectively. The median SUVmax of patients with local lymph nodes involvement was significantly higher than those without local lymph nodes involvement (P=0.007). The SUVmax was positively associated with Ann Arbor stage (r=0.366, P=0.001), lactate dehydrogenase (r=0.308, P=0.005) and Ki-67 level (r=0.270, P=0.017). The SUVmax was inversely associated with lymphocyte count (r=-0.324, P=0.003) and hemoglobin content (r=-0.225, P=0.043). Conclusions: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma predominantly occurs in extra-nodal organs, mainly in the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, with marked FDG-addiction. Compared with conventional imaging, 18F-FDG PET-CT is sensitive and comprehensive in detecting extra-nodal NK/T-cell lymphoma involvement, assisting in accurate clinical staging and treatment planning. Pretreatment SUVmax is potential for prognosis evaluation since it is correlated with prognostic factors.

Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the stratification medical treatment based on the motor complications risk estimation in improving the quality of life, motor symptoms and delaying the motor complications in Parkinson's patients. Methods: Outpatients and inpatients from Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, were recruited between November 2019 and June 2020. The participants were all clinically diagnosed with PD and treated with anti-PD medications, but had no history of motor complications, with the 8-item Parkinson's disease questionnaire summary index (PDQ-8 SI)>18.59. At baseline, the demographic characteristics, PD medical history, levodopa dosage (LD) and levodopa equivalent dosage (LED) were collected, and the evaluation of PDQ-8, Unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS)-Ⅱ and Ⅲ, Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) grade, Hamilton anxiety scale-14 (HAMA-14), Hamilton depression scale-24 (HAMD-24), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) tools was accomplished in all participants. Meanwhile, a Parkinson's disease risk estimation scale for motor complications was used to assess patients' risk of motor complications, and thus the medication was stratified in PD patients accordingly. During the 6-month and 12-month follow-ups, the evaluation of the above-mentioned parameters was repeated in all participants. At the 3-month and 9-month follow-ups, the information of anti-PD medications, the occurrence of motor complications (motor fluctuations and dyskinesia) and adverse drug reactions were recorded, and PDQ-8 was also evaluated. Results: Two hundred and fifty-one patients completed the 1-year follow-up, with 135 males and 116 females. At baseline, the median age of the patients was 66 (60, 71) years and the median PDQ-8 SI was 31.2 (21.9, 40.6). Additionally, 15.9% (40/251) of the patients were at high risk of motor fluctuation, and 7.2% (18/251) were at high risk of dyskinesia. There were significant differences in the age of onset, disease duration, PD treatment duration, the scores of UPDRS-Ⅱ and Ⅲ, H&Y Grade, and PDQ-8 SI among PD patients of different risk groups (all P<0.05). In the 12th month, the median of PDQ-8 SI, Δ PDQ-8 SI and Δ UPDRS-Ⅲ was 12.5 (9.4, 18.8), -15.6 (-21.9, -9.4) and -9(-16, -4), respectively, which was statistically different from that of baseline (all P<0.05). The change of UPDRS-Ⅱ scores in the group with high risk of motor fluctuation was statistically different from that in the groups with low and moderate risk (P<0.05). The changes of PSQI score, LD and LED in the group with high risk of dyskinesia was statistically different from those in the groups with low and moderate risk (all P<0.05). During the follow-up, the incidence of motor fluctuation and dyskinesia was 9.56% (24/251) and 5.97% (15/251), respectively. Conclusion: The stratification medical treatment might have a positive intervention effect on promoting a better quality of life, improving motor symptoms and delaying motor complications in PD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate the brief F3ALLS assessment's validity in screening fall risk. DESIGN This is a cross sectional and longitudinal study. SETTING Participants were recruited from outpatient primary care clinics. PARTICIPANTS Older ambulatory adults ages 65-90 volunteered for this study. MEASUREMENTS Falls risk was measured with TGBA and F3ALLS questionnaires. A 6-month follow-up period assessed for falls using falls diaries and chart review. RESULTS Participants (n=97) were older adults ages 73.91±6.4, 68% (n=66) female. 31% of participants reported at least one fall at 6-months. F3ALLS scores were higher in participants who reported 1 or more falls at 6-months follow-up (3.23±1.5). Higher F3ALLS scores were associated with 6-month fall risk (OR=1.463, 95% CI=1.098-1.949). A score > 3 stratified patients as at risk of falling (AUC=0.77, P<.001; Sensitivity=0.65, Specificity=0.71). CONCLUSION The F3ALLS questionnaire adequately classifies person at risk versus not at risk for falls, and higher (worse) F3ALLS scores are associated with falls over 6 months.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of (18)F-fluorodeoxygen-D-glucose-positron emission tomography /computerized tomography ((18)F-FDG-PET-CT) in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) at the end of first-line treatment (PET-end), by comparing the ratio of maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)) of lesion and liver SUV (rLL), SUV(max) reduction between baseline PET (PET-0) and PET-end (ΔSUV(max)), and Deauville 5-point scale (5-PS). Methods: Patients with HL newly treated in our hospital from August 2006 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients enrolled in the study underwent post-treatment FDG PET-CT. The rLL and ΔSUV(max) were calculated, and all the cases were scored using Deauville 5-PS. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) approach was applied to identify the optimal cut-point value, and survival curves according to different PET-CT assessment methods were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The prognostic efficacy of different PET-CT assessment methods was compared, and DeLong test was used to verify it. Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model were performed to analyze the potential independent risk factors. Results: There were 5 patients progressed within a 3-year follow-up. In the three PET-CT assessment methods, the predictive value of rLL and Deauville 5-PS were significant effective. ROC analysis for rLL as a progression predictor showed an optimal cut-point of 1.29. Deauville 5-PS=4 and rLL=1.29 showed the best prognostic accuracy. The sensitivity of rLL and Deauville 5-PS were both 80.0%, and the specificity of each was 98.0% and 93.7%, respectively. The positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of rLL were 66.7% and 98.7%, while the PPV and NPV of 5-PS were 44.4% and 98.7%. The 3-years progression-free survival (PFS) rates of rLL≥1.29 group and rLL<1.29 group were 33.3% and 98.7%, with significant difference (P<0.001). The 3-years PFS rates of post-treatment Deauville 5-PS<4 group and Deauville 5-PS≥4 group were 98.7% and 55.6%, with significant difference (P<0.001). The prognostic evaluation efficacy of rLL was positively correlated with that of Deauville 5-PS (r=0.75, P<0.05). Area under curves (AUC) of rLL and Deauville 5-PS were 0.93 (95%CI: 0.825-1.000) and 0.91 (95%CI: 0.757-1.000), respectively. DeLong test showed the significant difference between the two methods (P<0.05). The univariate analysis results showed that clinical baseline stage, post-treatment rLL and Deauville 5-PS were associated with the prognoses of HL patients (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis results showed that post-treatment rLL and Deauville 5-PS were independent prognostic factors of HL (P<0.05). Conclusions: The rLL and Deauville 5-PS are potential prognostic factors for HL response assessment. The new semi-quantitative method rLL has methodological advantages over visual analysis, and it is a good supplement for Deauville 5-PS. rLL can improve prognostic evaluation accuracy of PET-CT and is useful to early identify patients with HL at a high risk of relapsing after first-line treatment.

Abstract
Background Colonization has been reported to play an important role in carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) infection; however, the extent to which carriers develop clinical CRE infection and related risk factors in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients is unclear. Aim To investigate the frequency of CRE colonization and its contribution to infections in NICU patients. Methods CRE colonization screening and CRE infection surveillance were performed in the NICU in 2017 and 2018. Findings Among 1230 unique NICU patients who were screened for CRE colonization, 144 patients tested positive (11.7%, 144/1230), with 9.2% (110/1197) in the intestinal tract, which was higher than that in the upper respiratory tract (6.6%, 62/945) (P=0.026). Gestational age, low birth weight and prolonged hospitalization were risk factors for CRE colonization (all P<0.001). Diversilab homology monitoring found an overall 17.4% (25/144) risk of infection among patients colonized with CRE. For carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KP) and carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CR-ECO), the risks were 19.1% (21/110) and 13.8% (4/29), respectively. The independent risk factors for CR-KP clinical infection among CR-KP carriers were receiving mechanical ventilation (odds ratio (OR), 10.177; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.667–38.830; P=0.013), a high level of neonatal nutritional risk assessment (OR, 0.251; 95% CI, 0.072–0.881; P=0.031) and a high neonatal acute physiology II (SNAP-II) score (OR, 0.256; 95% CI, 0.882–1.034; P=0.025). Conclusions The colonization of CRE may increase the incidence of corresponding CRE infection in NICU patients. Receiving mechanical ventilation, malnutrition and critical conditions with high SNAP-II scores were independent risk factors for subsequent CR-KP clinical infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)-associated autoinflammatory disease (NLRP3-AID) is a rare, heterogeneous disease entity associated with mutations in NLRP3. Biologic therapy for NLRP3-AID yields diverse results. OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of Chinese adult patients with NLRP3-AID who were treated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. METHODS Five patients with NLRP3-AID were diagnosed and treated with TNF-α inhibitors at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between 2017 and 2020 and were followed up for 6 to 12 months. All patients were systematically studied for treatment outcomes, including clinical manifestations and inflammatory markers. RESULTS All five adult NLRP3-AID patients were Chinese Han, and four patients were males. The mean age at disease onset was 4.2 ± 4.1 years, and the mean time of diagnosis delay was 19.8 ± 6 years. All patients received TNF-α inhibitors with or without methotrexate/prednisone. During follow-up, all patients achieved remarkable clinical remission of skin lesions and polyarthritis and showed improvements in acute-phase reactants, inflammatory cytokines, patient visual analogue scale, physician global assessment and 36-item Short Form (SF-36). CONCLUSIONS Early diagnosis and effective therapy for NLRP3-AID are essential for avoiding irreversible organ damage. TNF-α inhibitors might serve as a therapeutic alternative for patients with NLRP3-AID who have unsatisfactory responses or no access to interleukin-1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes and relapse risk and survival in patients with N1 non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical and pathological data of 138 patients with completely resected N1 NSCLC was conducted. There were 79 males and 59 females, aged from 26 to 81 years with an average of (59±10) years. All of them were treated in the Department of Thoracic Surgery Ⅱ of Peking University Cancer Hospital between January 2007 and December 2015. Patients were stratified based on the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) N1 classification and the modified pathological N1 classification strategy, respectively. According to modified pathological N1 classification strategy, which was defined based on the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes, N1 nodes were subcategorized into the hilar (stations 10-11, mN1b) (n=36) and peripheral (stations 12-14, mN1a) (n=102) zones. The Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare the relapse risk and survival analysis, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two staging methods through univariate and multivariate analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the two classifications in stratifying patients with distinct risks of disease relapse and survival. Results: According to the modified N1 classification, the differences in 5-year DFS and OS between the subgroups (mN1a vs mN1b) were statistically significant(59.5% vs 35.7%; 81.2% vs 56.0%; both P<0.05). However, following the 8th edition of the AJCC N1 classification, no significant differences were found in DFS and OS between the subgroups (both P>0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the modified N1 classification was an independent prognostic factor to DFS (HR=1.814, 95%CI: 1.005-3.275) and OS (HR=3.919, 95%CI: 1.918-8.009) (all P<0.05). However, the 8th edition of the AJCC N1 classification was not an independent prognostic factor to DFS (HR=1.360, 95%CI:0.767-2.412) or OS (HR=1.620, 95%CI:0.839-3.131) (both P>0.05) as revealed by multivariate analysis. Conclusions: The relapse risk and survival could be assessed effectively using the modified pathological N1 classification, which was defined and subcategorized based on the anatomical location of intrapulmonary metastatic lymph nodes for N1 NSCLC patients. The modified pathological N1 classification is superior to the 8th edition of the AJCC classification.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the dose-response relationship between serum polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon adducts and serum complement C3 and C4 levels among children from a city in East China. Methods: In September 2016, two boarding schools in the air pollution exposure area and the control area (beyond the upwind of 30 km in the air pollution exposure area) in a city in East China were selected as the research site, and the eligible school-age children were recruited as the research objects. A total of 273 children were included, including 163 in the exposure group and 110 in the control group. The annual air pollutant data (PM2.5, PM10 and NO2) of the two regions during the study period were collected. The exposure level of tobacco was evaluated by cotinine in urine. The levels of serum complement C3 and C4 were determined by automatic biochemical analyzer. The serum anti-7, 8, -dihydrodiol-9, 10-epoxide benzo[a]pyrene (BPDE)-albumin adduct levels were detected by ELISA. Linear regression model was used to explore the dose-response relationship between BPDE-albumin adducts and serum complement C3 and C4. Results: The age of 273 subjects was (13.67±0.37) years old, including 165 boys (60.4%). The average annual exposure levels of PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 and the level of serum BPDE-albumin adducts in the exposure group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The results of linear regression model analysis showed that after adjusting age, sex, BMI z-score and urinary cotinine level, when the serum BPDE-albumin adduct level increased by 10%, the serum complement C4 level decreased by 1.2% (P=0.017). After adjusting age, BMI z-score and urinary cotinine level, for every 10% increase in serum BPDE-albumin adduct level in boys, the serum complement C4 level decreased by 1.68% (P=0.024). After adjusting age, sex and BMI z-score, the levels of serum complement C3 and C4 decreased by 1.31% and 3.57% respectively for every 10% increase in serum BPDE-albumin adducts among children in the urinary cotinine detection group (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant dose-response relationship between serum BPDE-albumin adducts and the complement C4 among children.

Abstract
In China, the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and motality is lung cancer (LC). As screening and early detection and treatment are effective in reducing LC mortality, formulating a guideline in line with China's national conditions for the screening and early detection and treatment of LC will greatly promote the homogeneity and accuracy of LC screening, and result in an improvement of the effectiveness of LC screening. Commissioned and directed by the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, the guidline was initiated by the National Cancer Center of China and formulated with joint effort by experts from different disciplines. Following the principles and methods in WHO Handbook for Guideline Development, the guidline integrates the latest development in LC screening and early diagnosis and treatment worldwide while fully considering China's national conditions and practical experience in LC screening. It provides detailed evidence-based recommendations for different aspects of LC screening, such as the targeted population, the technologies and the procedures, to regulate the practices of LC screening and early diagnosis and treatment and enhance the effectiveness of the prevention and control of LC in China.

Abstract
Objective: To study the clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype, molecular genetics and differential diagnosis of biphenotypic sinonasal sarcoma (BSNS), and to evaluate the role of PAX3 and PAX8 immunohistochemical (IHC) antibodies in the diagnosis of BSNS. Methods: Nasal sinus spindle cell tumors surgically treated at the Jinling Hospital from 2000 to 2019 were collected, including three cases of BSNS, 10 cases of acinar rhabdomyosarcoma, eight cases of schwannoma, five cases of hemangiopericytoma, three cases of fibrosarcoma, and one case of triton tumor. The cases were evaluated by histology, IHC by EnVision for PAX3 and PAX 8 (including PAX8 murine monoclonal antibody, clone number OTI6H8, hereinafter referred to as PAX8-OTI6H8 antibody; PAX8 rabbit monoclonal antibody, clone number EP298, hereinafter referred to as PAX8-EP298 antibody) molecular genetic tests. Results: All three BSNS patients were elderly women with clinical manifestations of nasal congestion and bleeding. Imaging showed a soft tissue density shadow of the nasal cavity and sinuses with bone destruction. The boundaries of tumors which were covered with ciliated columnar epithelium were unclear, and mucosal invasion and squamous metaplasia could be seen. Tumor cells were spindle-shaped, arranged in a bundle-like, braided arrangement, with little cellular atypia and occasional atypical mitotic figures. The tumoral interstitial vessels were mostly thin-walled, some showing staghorn-like changes. There was focal striated muscle differentiation in two cases, and bone invasion was seen in two cases. IHC staining showed that all three cases of BSNS expressed PAX3 and PAX8-OTI6H8, but not PAX8-EP298. All eight cases of schwannoma, five cases of hemangiopericytoma, and one case of triton tumor did not express PAX3, PAX8-OTI6H8 or PAX8-EP298. Eight of the ten cases of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma expressed PAX3 and PAX8-OTI6H8, but not PAX8-EP298. Three cases of fibrosarcoma showed weak PAX3 and PAX8-OTI6H8 expression, but there was no PAX8-EP298 expression. FISH detection showed that PAX3 break apart in the tumor cells from all three patients (four specimens). Conclusions: BSNS is a distinct sinonasal low grade malignancy with dual differentiation which could be readily confused with a variety of spindle cell tumors encountered in the sinonasal cavity. The molecular genetics of PAX3 gene break is the gold standard for diagnosis of this tumor. IHC marker monoclonal PAX3 is 100% expressed in BSNS, while the specificity is limited. PAX8-OTI6H8 is also expressed in BSNS due to the cross reaction with PAX3 antibody, while PAX8-EP298 is all negative for these tumors.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate mental workload among nurses from tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, and analyze various factors related to mental workload. Methods: From May to July 2019, a cluster sampling method was used to select 8255 nurses from 20 third class a general hospitals in 16 cities of Shandong Province as the research objects, and 8159 valid questionnaires were collected. The general information and psychological load of nurses were investigated by general information questionnaire and task load index scale. The measurement data were expressed in percentage (%) ; the nurses' psychological load scores were in accordance with normal distribution, and the differences between groups were compared by t-test or ANOVA; the related influencing factors of nurses' psychological load were analyzed by multiple stepwise regression analysis. Results: The average scores of mental workload among nurses was 77.83 (SD=12.88) . Time demands and physical demands were the two highest rated dimensions of mental workload. the average scores were 90.77 (SD=12.47) and 79.92 (SD=15.23) . Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that Satisfaction with income, monthly average night shift and professional titles were the significant predictors of mental workload (R(2)=0.08) . Conclusion: Nurses with higher psychological load, lower income satisfaction, higher number of night shifts per month and lower title have higher psychological load.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Guidelines recommend dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and ticagrelor following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) regardless of management strategy. Despite this, prescription practices lag and appropriate DAPT is not utilized.
Purpose
We aimed to trend differences in P2Y12 inhibitor prescriptions between ACS patients managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). As well, we wanted to analyze the impact practice-changing trial publications, national guideline updates, and publicly funded drug coverage plans may have on prescription patterns.
Methods
From national databases, we obtained data for ACS patients in the province of Ontario, Canada between 2008 and 2018. Using an interrupted-time series with data aggregated monthly, we evaluated types of P2Y12 inhibitor prescribed at hospital discharge and changes to antiplatelet prescription patterns following publication of Ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (PLATO), Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) antiplatelet therapy guidelines, and ticagrelor coverage by a publicly funded medication plan.
Results
We included 114,142 ACS patients; 49% underwent PCI and 8% required CABG. Between October 2008 and March 2018, the proportion of patients discharged on P2Y12 inhibitors increased from 73.4% to 87% (p<0.0001) for PCI patients and 11.4% to 31.4% (p<0.0001) for CABG patients. PLATO publication was associated with a 1.3% (p=0.002) monthly decline in clopidogrel prescriptions amongst PCI patients. The 2010 CCS antiplatelet therapy guidelines were associated with a 0.7% (p<0.0001) monthly decline in clopidogrel prescriptions amongst PCI patients. The approval of ticagrelor by publicly funded medication plan was associated with an increase in ticagrelor prescriptions within the first month (24.5%; p<0.0001) and a continued monthly increase (0.4%; p<0.0001) in PCI patients. The approval was also associated with an increase in monthly ticagrelor prescriptions (0.2%; p<0.0001) amongst CABG patients. The 2012 CCS antiplatelet therapy guidelines were associated with a decline in clopidogrel prescriptions within the first month (6.1%; p=0.003) and a monthly increase in ticagrelor prescriptions (0.3%; p=0.05) amongst PCI patients.
Conclusion
Drug coverage by a publicly funded medication plan and guideline updates had significant impact on P2Y12 inhibitor prescription practices. Despite improvements, P2Y12 inhibitor prescriptions for CABG patients are far behind PCI patients. Further research is necessary to address barriers to appropriate antiplatelet therapy in the ACS population.
