The HRs for the new-onset AF were 2.07 (95% CI, 1.34-3.21, p less then 0.01), in the highest quintile group(Q5) compared with group Q2, and 1.89(95% CI, 1.20-2.97, p less then 0.01) in the lowest quintile group(Q1) compared with group Q2. The risk for new-onset AF showed a similar trend using RHR-VIM (p less then 0.01) and RHR-SD (p less then…[Read more]

Shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) is a key component of patient-centred care. To implement SDM in clinical practice and to evaluate its effects, it is helpful to know about HCPs’ perception of SDM barriers.

The role of hybridization in plant evolution is best documented in the form of…[Read more]
