BackgroundGuideline recommendations on carotid endarterectomy are based predominantly on randomized, controlled trials, in which women or elderly patients are often under‐represented. This study analyzed the association of age and sex with the risk of in‐hospital stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy under routine conditions in Germany.Methods and ResultsSecondary data analysis using the Statutory German Quality Assurance Database on all carotid endarterectomy procedures (n=142 074) performed between 2009 and 2014. Primary outcome was any stroke or death until discharge; secondary outcomes were any in‐hospital stroke (alone), and death (alone). Descriptive statistics and multilevel multivariable regression analyses were applied. Patients were predominately male (68%), with mean age 71 years. Carotid stenosis was symptomatic in 40%. Primary outcome occurred in 1.8% of women and 1.9% of men. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that more‐advanced age was associated with a higher primary outcome rate (relative risk [RR] per 10‐year increase: 1.19; 95% CI, 1.14–1.24). Risk of death (alone) was associated with age (RR, 1.68; 95% CI, 1.54–1.84). Age was associated with the risk of stroke (alone; RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.00–1.11). Sex was not associated with primary outcome rate (1.01; 95% CI, 0.93–1.10), nor did it significantly modify the age effect.ConclusionsThis study shows that increasing age, but not sex, is associated with a higher risk of in‐hospital stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy under everyday conditions in Germany. Whereas the risk of death (alone) is significantly associated with age, the association between age and the risk of stroke (alone) can be considered of minor importance.

WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Hospital incidence, treatment modality and mortality after surgery for thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) by endovascular or open means on a nationwide level are reported. This analysis reveals that 76% of TAAAs were treated endovascularly in 2014 with increasing frequency over a decade. The in hospital mortality is lower when endovascular repair is performed. High annual caseload is significantly associated with decreased in hospital mortality. Rupture, age, and severe comorbidities are associated with worse outcomes.Objective: Hospital incidence, treatment modality, and in hospital mortality after surgery are reported for thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) treated by endovascular or open means in Germany from 2005 to 2014. Methods: Data were extracted from diagnosis related group statistics from the German Federal Statistical Office. All inpatient cases with a diagnosis of ruptured and non-ruptured TAAA (ICD-10 I71.5 and I71.6) and procedure codes for fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (f/bEVAR 5-38a.7x and 5-38a.8x), open aortic repair (OAR 5e384.4), or hybrid procedure (5-384.b/c, 5-38a.a/b/8/80) were included. To adjust for sex, age, medical risk (Elixhauser comorbidity score), type of procedure, and type of admission, a multilevel multivariable regression model with robust error variance was applied. The primary outcome was in hospital mortality; secondary outcomes were organ complications. The relationship between annual hospital volume and outcome was analysed. Results: A total of 2607 cases (406 rTAAA, 2201 nrTAAA) were included. f/bEVAR was performed in 856 cases (32.8%), OAR in 1422 cases (54.5%), and hybrid repair in 354 cases (13.6%). Endovascular repair became more frequent over time (6% in 2005 vs. 76% in 2014 for nrTAAA). Hypertension (75.2%), peripheral artery disease (including abdominal aortic aneurysm, 49.5%), other heart diseases (44.6%), coronary heart disease (30.6%), and renal failure (28.7%) were the most frequently coded comorbidities. The number of hospitals treating TAAAs almost tripled within 9 years. The in hospital mortality was 46.1% for rTAAA and 15.9% for nrTAAA. f/bEVAR (RR 0.35, 0.24e0.51) and high hospital volume (p < .001) were significantly associated with decreased in hospital mortality. Aortic rupture, increasing age, and comorbidity were significantly associated with higher mortality (RR 3.17, 2.45e4.09; 1.52, 1.32e1.76, and 1.05, 1.04e1.06). Conclusions: Seventy-six percent of all TAAAs were treated endovascularly in 2014 with increasing frequency over a decade. In hospital mortality is lower with endovascular repair and in high volume centres. Aortic rupture, age, and severe comorbidities are associated with worse outcomes.

BackgroundHepatitis C infection is a global public health issue. Chronic hepatitis C infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to describe the costs for occupationally-cased hepatitis C infections based on data from an accident insurance carrier.MethodsThis study is a secondary analysis based on the Database of a German Institution for Statutory Accident Insurance. The analysis is based on a sample of insured parties whose hepatitis C infections were recorded as occupational diseases between 1996 and 2013. The analysis is based on recognised hepatitis C cases and incorporates records registered between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2014.ResultsWithin the study period, the number of reported and recognised hepatitis C cases declined by 73 and 86% respectively. The majority of recognised hepatitis C cases (n = 1.121) were female, older than 40 years and were active in a medical nursing profession. In the study period, the costs came to a total of € 87.9 million, of which 60% was attributable to pension payments (€ 51,570,830) and around 15% was attributable to pharmaceutical and medicinal products (€ 12,978,318). Expenses for drugs exhibited heavy increases in 2012 (from around € 500,000–800,000 to € 1.7 million) and 2014 (to € 2.5 million) in particular. Pension payments came to € 1.6 million in 2000 and rose continuously to over € 4 million in 2014. Expenses for occupational rehabilitation accounted for less than 1%.ConclusionsFor hepatitis C infections as an occupational disease, a considerable increase in costs has been observed in recent years, while the number of reports has declined heavily. This rise in costs is explained by the increase in pension payments and, since 2012, by a rise in the costs for drugs. The high costs of anti-viral therapies is offset by the potential for considerable treatment benefits. Healing the infection is expected to generate long-term cost savings for statutory accident insurance carriers, and also for social security systems.
