The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Association of area poverty level and performance of an electronic medical record tool in predicting 6‐month mortality in hospitalized patients with cancer

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Disparities in risk and access to care can lead to a greater incidence of cancer, higher stage at diagnosis, and more frequent cancer‐related deaths in communities with high poverty levels. Risk prediction tools that do not take into consideration social determinants of health may underestimate mortality in these populations.
