“…There have been very few published reports evaluating illicit drug use and surgical outcomes. One study reported illicit drug use to be a predictor of significant postoperative morbidity [15]. End-stage renal disease is often reported as being a risk factor for increased postoperative morbidity and mortality, which is likely the reason for it to be predictive of prolonged LOS.…”

“…Either patients were discharged too early and/or treatments were not followed by the individual as prescribed This registry records specifics on opium consumption, including dose, frequency, and type of opium. This provides an opportunity to study the associations between opium inhalation and HF, which is a subject of much controversy in literature [31][32][33]. Among other novelties in this registry, we further evaluated reasons for not prescribing HF medication or not prescribing the therapeutic dose of medications for each individual separately.…”

Background: The literature on patients with heart failure (HF) from the Middle East, besides a few existing registries, is scarce. We report, for the first time in our country, a hospital-based registry for systolic HF. Materials and Methods: This was a web-based registry on HF, conducted in Vali-Asr Hospital affiliated with Fasa University of Medical Sciences, Fasa, Iran. The goal of this registry was to define overall baseline clinical characteristics and natural history of hospitalized patients with systolic HF, to evaluate current management schema and implementation of practice guidelines, and to determine the correlation between genetic predisposition environmental effects, individuals’ characteristics of health, lifestyle, morbidity, and mortality in relation with the effects of medication. Results: To date, 2378 individuals with a mean of age 67.08±13.07 years have been registered. Among which, 1381 (58.07%) patients were diagnosed with denovo HF. Most of the patients (60.1%) were male, and 8.9% had admissions during the past 30 days. The most common causes of HF were ischemic heart disease (86.5%) and hypertension (5.3%). Most patients had NYHA class one (44.3%) and three (20.4%). Overall, near 30% had diabetes and more than 38% had hyperlipidemia. Most individuals have been not a history of cigarette smoking (68.7%) or water-pipe smoking (96.9%). Also, 22.2% were current opium users, and 3.2% were previous opium users. Conclusions: The findings of this registry could make a realistic view of HF as a chronic disease with a burden. Therefore, policymakers can design programs and guidelines to prevent disease and better survival and quality of life. [GMJ.2021;10:e2111]

Background:In some opinions, opium consumption has traditionally been considered to be a means to lower blood lipids and to put off heart diseases. In this study, the relationship between opium consumption and risk factors of coronary artery diseases, hemodynamic factors and cardiac related functions before and after surgery was evaluated.Materials and Methods:In a cross-sectional study 325 patient's candidate for elective coronary artery bypass grafting were enrolled in a period of 6 months. Opium addicted patients were recognized based on taking history from the patients by an anaesthesiologist. Serum lipid profile was determined at the beginning of the study. Frequency and distribution of coronary artery diseases were assessed according to the pre-operative coronary angiography.Results:From 325 patients, 117 patients were opium abusers and 208 patients were not. Mean duration of opium abuse was 12.6 ± 7.7 years. Mean total serum cholesterol levels were not significantly different in abusers and non-users patients (185 ± 47 vs. 190 ± 49, P > 0.05). Mean level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly higher in addicted group (121 ± 27 vs. 81 ± 22, P < 0.05). Mean triglyceride level was also higher in addicted patients (203 ± 114 vs. 162 ± 98, P < 0.05). The prevalence of diabetes and glucose levels was considerably lower in opium addicted cases. Mean body mass index was also lower in addicted patients significantly (25.3 ± 3.7 vs. 27.5 ± 4.1, P < 0.05).Conclusion:There may be a relationship between opium abuse and aggravating lipid profile and hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease.
