Abstract
BACKGROUND Substance use continues to be on the rise in the United States and has been linked to new onset cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cerebrovascular disorders (CeVDs). We aimed to study the association between the types of substance use disorders (SUDs) with specific subtypes of CVDs and CeVDs among hospitalized patients using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database. METHODS A retrospective study of the NIS database (2016-2017) using the ICD-10-CM codes was performed. The hospitalizations with a secondary diagnosis of SUDs were identified. Weighted univariate analysis using the Chi-square test and multivariate survey logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate for the incidence, prevalence, and odds of association between vascular events and SUDs. RESULTS There were a total of 58,259,589 hospitalizations, out of which 21.42% had SUDs. SUDs were more common in the younger age group of 18-50, males, and the lower median household income group. We found a significant association of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with amphetamine dependence (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.23, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.14-1.33), cocaine-related disorders (1.17, 1.12-1.23), and nicotine dependence (1.42, 1.40-1.43). There was a significant association between intracerebral hemorrhage with amphetamine dependence (2.58, 2.26-2.93), cocaine-related disorders (1.62, 1.46-1.79), and alcohol-related disorders (1.35, 1.01-1.82). The association of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) was noted to be higher with amphetamine dependence (1.82, 1.48-2.24) and nicotine dependence (1.47, 1.39-1.55). The patients with nicotine dependence had greater odds of having a myocardial infarction (1.85, 1.83-1.87), those with cocaine-related disorders had higher odds of having angina pectoris (2.21, 1.86-2.62), and patients with alcohol-related disorders had higher odds of developing atrial fibrillation (1.14, 1.11-1.17) in comparison to non-SUDs. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates the variability of CVD and CeVD in patients hospitalized for SUD. Findings from our study may help promote increased awareness and early management of these events. Further studies are needed to evaluate the specific effects of frequency and dose on the incidence and prevalence of CVD and CeVD in patients with SUD.

Abstract
Introduction Prospective studies on rivaroxaban and apixaban have shown the safety and efficacy of direct anticoagulation agents (DOAC)s used peri-procedurally during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). Studies comparing the two agents have not been performed. Methods Consecutive patients from a prospective registry who underwent RFA of AF between April 2012 and March 2015 and were on apixaban or rivaroxaban were studied. Clinical variables and outcomes were noted. Results There were a total of 358 patients (n = 56 on apixaban and n = 302 on rivaroxaban). There were no differences in baseline characteristics between both groups. The last dose of rivaroxaban was administered the night before the procedure in 96% of patients. In patients on apixaban, 48% of patients whose procedure was in the afternoon took the medication on the morning of the procedure. TIA/CVA occurred in 2 patients (0.6%) in rivaroxaban group with none in apixaban group (p = 0.4). There was no difference in the rate of pericardial effusion between apixaban and rivaroxaban groups [1.7% vs 0.6% (p = 0.4)]. Five percent of patients in both groups had groin complications (p = 0.9). In apixaban group, all groin complications were small hematomas except one patient who had a pseudoaneurysm (1.6%). One pseudo-aneurysm, 1 fistula and 3 large hematomas were noted in patients on rivaroxaban (1.7%) with the rest being small hematomas. DOACs were restarted post procedure typically 4 h post hemostasis. Conclusions Peri-procedural uninterrupted use of apixaban and rivaroxaban during AF RFA is safe and there are no major differences between both groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gender is currently not a criterion in the allocation of scarce donor organs. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of gender on patient and graft survival, incidence of rejection, and postoperative complications after orthotopic liver transplantation. METHODS During a 10-year period, 1138 liver transplants were performed on 1010 adult patients at Baylor University Medical Center. In this study, 994 patients with at least 6 months of posttransplant follow-up were reviewed. The four combinations of gender match and mismatch included: group 1, donor female to recipient female (n=229); group 2, donor female to recipient male (n= 126); group 3, donor male to recipient female (n=247); and group 4, donor male to recipient male (n=392). These groups were evaluated for patient survival, graft survival, episodes of rejection, incidence of chronic rejection, and postoperative complications. RESULTS All groups were similar with respect to recipient age, underlying medical condition, incidence of bacterial and viral infections, postoperative biliary complications, and the incidence of chronic rejection. Female recipients had the highest incidence of early rejection (0-6 months, 70%) compared with male recipients (60%, P<0.039). Postoperative vascular complication (10%) was highest in group 3 (P<0.01). The two-year graft survival rate for groups 1, 3, and 4 was 76.2%, 75.6%, and 73.5%, respectively. Group 2, donor female to recipient male, had a 2-year graft survival rate of 55.9% (P<0.0001). This finding is not explained by the incidence of early rejection. Chronic rejection does not appear to be contributory. The mean donor age for groups 1, 3, and 4 was 35.7, 25.8, and 30.4 years, respectively. The mean donor age for group 2 was slightly older, at 41.6 years (P<0.0001). This difference, while statistically significant, is of unknown clinical relevance. A multivariate analysis controlling for donor age confirmed the decreased graft and patient survival rates in the donor female to recipient male group. CONCLUSIONS The decreased graft survival rate in male recipients of female livers warrants further study and may argue for modifying the current management of adult male liver transplant recipients.
