The adjusted HR of hospitalisation for all CVD diagnoses combined increased significantly with increasing BMI (P(trend) <0.0001)). The HR of IHD hospitalisation increased by 23% (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 18-27%) per 5 kg m-2 increase in BMI (compared to BMI 20.0-22.49 kg m-2, HR (95% CI) for BMI categories were: 22.5-24.99=1.25 (1.08-1.44); 25-27.49=1.43 (1.24-1.65); 27.5-29.99=1.64 (1.42-1.90); 30-32.49=1.63 (1.39-1.91) and 32.5-50=2.10 (1.79-2.45)). The risk of hospitalisation for heart failure showed a significant, but nonlinear, increase with increasing BMI. No significant increase was seen with above-normal BMI for stroke or PVD. For other specific classifications of CVD, HRs of hospitalisation increased significantly with increasing BMI for: hypertension; angina; acute myocardial infarction; chronic IHD; pulmonary embolism; non-rheumatic aortic valve disorders; atrioventricular and left bundle-branch block; atrial fibrillation and flutter; aortic aneurysm; and phlebitis and thrombophlebitis. Conclusion: The risk of hospitalisation for a wide range of CVD subtypes increases with relatively fine increments in BMI. Obesity prevention strategies are likely to benefit from focusing on bringing down the mean BMI at the population level, in addition to targeting those with a high BMI.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:09:31 AEST ]]> Moderate agreement between self-reported stroke and hospital-recorded stroke in two cohorts of Australian women: a validation study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17444 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:33:16 AEST ]]> Influenza epidemiology in adults admitted to sentinel Australian hospitals in 2014: the Influenza Complications Alert Network (FluCAN) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22606 16 years) were admitted with confirmed influenza to one of 15 of 17 FluCAN sentinel hospitals (excluding 2 paediatric hospitals). Of these, 47% were over 65 years of age, 10% were Indigenous Australians, 3.3% were pregnant and 85% had chronic co-morbidities. The majority of cases were due to influenza A. Influenza B was detected in 7% of patients. There were a large number of hospital admissions detected with confirmed influenza in this national observational surveillance system in 2014. These are estimated to represent a national annual burden of around 15,000 admissions and almost 100,000 bed-days nationally.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:11 AEST ]]> Age at first alcohol-related hospital separation or emergency department presentation and rate of re-admission: A retrospective data linkage cohort of young Australians https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51633 Wed 01 May 2024 11:50:26 AEST ]]> Mortality and Readmission Following Hospitalisation for Heart Failure in Australia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47648 Tue 24 Jan 2023 14:51:37 AEDT ]]> Escalating patterns of emergency health care prior to first admission with amphetamine psychosis: a window of opportunity? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31189 Thu 30 May 2019 11:56:49 AEST ]]> Impact of hospitalisation on patient smoking: current practice and potential for nurse-provided smoking cessation care https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22466 Thu 08 Jun 2017 10:20:06 AEST ]]> Interventions for educating children who are at risk of asthma-related emergency department attendance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7327 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:13 AEDT ]]> Use of alcohol intoxication codes for serious non-fatal hospitalised injury https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19467 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:23 AEDT ]]> Incidence of falls and fall-related events among residents in aged care facilities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5367 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:58 AEDT ]]> Influenza vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation with influenza in adults in Australia in 2014 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23340 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:34 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with nicotine replacement therapy use among hospitalised smokers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47478 Mon 23 Jan 2023 11:33:30 AEDT ]]> Hospital service use in the last year of life by Indigenous Australians who died of heart failure or cardiomyopathy: A linked data study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52507 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:23:32 AEDT ]]>
