Item The AURORA Study: A Longitudinal, Multimodal Library of Brain Biology and Function after Traumatic Stress Exposure(Springer Nature, 2020-02) McLean, Samuel A.; Ressler, Kerry; Koenen, Karestan Chase; Neylan, Thomas; Germine, Laura; Jovanovic, Tanja; Clifford, Gari D.; Zeng, Donglin; An, Xinming; Linnstaedt, Sarah; Beaudoin, Francesca; House, Stacey; Bollen, Kenneth A.; Musey, Paul; Hendry, Phyllis; Jones, Christopher W.; Lewandowski, Christopher; Swor, Robert; Datner, Elizabeth; Mohiuddin, Kamran; Stevens, Jennifer S.; Storrow, Alan; Kurz, Michael Christopher; McGrath, Meghan E.; Fermann, Gregory J.; Hudak, Lauren A.; Gentile, Nina; Chang, Anna Marie; Peak, David A.; Pascual, Jose L.; Seamon, Mark J.; Sergot, Paulina; Peacock, W.

W.; Binder, Elisabeth; Sheridan, John F.; Elliott, James M.; Basu, Archana; Fromer, Menachem; Parlikar, Tushar; Zaslavsky, Alan M.; Kessler, Ronald; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineAdverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric sequelae (APNS) are common among civilian trauma survivors and military veterans. These APNS, as traditionally classified, include posttraumatic stress, postconcussion syndrome, depression, and regional or widespread pain. Traditional classifications have come to hamper scientific progress because they artificially fragment APNS into siloed, syndromic diagnoses unmoored to discrete components of brain functioning and studied in isolation. These limitations in classification and ontology slow the discovery of pathophysiologic mechanisms, biobehavioral markers, risk prediction tools, and preventive/treatment interventions. Progress in overcoming these limitations has been challenging because such progress would require studies that both evaluate a broad spectrum of posttraumatic sequelae (to overcome fragmentation) and also perform in-depth biobehavioral evaluation (to index sequelae to domains of brain function). This article summarizes the methods of the Advancing Understanding of RecOvery afteR traumA (AURORA) Study. AURORA conducts a large-scale (n = 5000 target sample) in-depth assessment of APNS development using a state-of-the-art battery of self-report, neurocognitive, physiologic, digital phenotyping, psychophysical, neuroimaging, and genomic assessments, beginning in the early aftermath of trauma and continuing for 1 year. The goals of AURORA are to achieve improved phenotypes, prediction tools, and understanding of molecular mechanisms to inform the future development and testing of preventive and treatment interventions.Item Clinical and Research Considerations for Patients with Hypertensive Acute Heart Failure(Elsevier, 2016-08) Collins, Sean P.; Levy, Phillip D.; Martindale, Jennifer L.; Dunlap, Mark E.; Storrow, Alan B.; Pang, Peter S.; Sawyer, Douglas B.; Fermann, Gregory J.; Lenihan, Daniel J.; Peacock, W. Frank; Albert, Nancy M.; Hollander, Judd E.; Lindenfeld, JoAnn M.; Teerlink, John R.; Felker, G. Michael; Fonarow, Gregg C.; Butler, Javed; Department of Emergency Medicine, IU School of MedicineManagement approaches for patients in the emergency department (ED) who present with acute heart failure (AHF) have largely focused on intravenous diuretics. Yet, the primary pathophysiologic derangement underlying AHF in many patients is not solely volume overload. Patients with hypertensive AHF (H-AHF) represent a clinical phenotype with distinct pathophysiologic mechanisms that result in elevated ventricular filling pressures. To optimize treatment response and minimize adverse events in this subgroup, we propose that clinical management be tailored to a conceptual model of disease based on these mechanisms. This consensus statement reviews the relevant pathophysiology, clinical characteristics, approach to therapy, and considerations for clinical trials in ED patients with H-AHF.Item Design and Rationale of a Randomized Trial of a Care Transition Strategy in Patients With Acute Heart Failure Discharged From the Emergency Department: GUIDED-HF (Get With the Guidelines in Emergency Department Patients With Heart Failure).(American Heart Association, 2017-02) Fermann, Gregory J.; Levy, Phillip D.; Pang, Peter; Butler, Javed; Ayaz, S. Imran; Char, Douglas; Dunn, Pat; Jenkins, Cathy A.; Kampe, Christy; Khan, Yosef; Kumar, Vijaya A.; Lindenfeld, JoAnn; Liu, Dandan; Miller, Karen; Peacock, W. Frank; Rizk, Samaa; Robichaux, Chad; Rothman, Russell L.; Schrock, Jon; Singer, Adam; Sterling, Sarah A.; Storrow, Alan B.; Walsh, Cheryl; Wilburn, John; Collins, Sean P.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineGUIDED-HF (Get With the Guidelines in Emergency Department Patients With Heart Failure) is a multicenter randomized trial of a patient-centered transitional care intervention in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) who are discharged either directly from the emergency department (ED) or after a brief period of ED-based observation. To optimize care and reduce ED and hospital revisits, there has been significant emphasis on improving transitions at the time of hospital discharge for patients with HF. Such efforts have been almost exclusively directed at hospitalized patients; individuals with AHF who are discharged from the ED or ED-based observation are not included in these transitional care initiatives. Patients with AHF discharged directly from the ED or after a brief period of ED-based observation are randomly assigned to our transition GUIDED-HF strategy or standard ED discharge. Patients in the GUIDED arm receive a tailored discharge plan via the study team, based on their identified barriers to outpatient management and associated guideline-based interventions. This plan includes conducting a home visit soon after ED discharge combined with close outpatient follow-up and subsequent coaching calls to improve postdischarge care and avoid subsequent ED revisits and inpatient admissions. Up to 700 patients at 11 sites will be enrolled over 3 years of the study. GUIDED-HF will test a novel approach to AHF management strategy that includes tailored transitional care for patients discharged from the ED or ED-based observation. If successful, this program may significantly alter the current paradigm of AHF patient care.Item Effect of a Self-care Intervention on 90-Day Outcomes in Patients With Acute Heart Failure Discharged From the Emergency Department: A Randomized Clinical Trial(American Medical Association, 2021) Collins, Sean P.; Liu, Dandan; Jenkins, Cathy A.; Storrow, Alan B.; Levy, Phillip D.; Pang, Peter S.; Chang, Anna Marie; Char, Douglas; Diercks, Deborah J.; Fermann, Gregory J.; Han, Jin H.; Hiestand, Brian; Hogan, Christopher; Kampe, Christina J.; Khan, Yosef; Lee, Sangil; Lindenfeld, JoAnn; Martindale, Jennifer; McNaughton, Candace D.; Miller, Karen F.; Miller-Reilly, Carolyn; Moser, Kelly; Peacock, W. Frank; Robichaux, Chad; Rothman, Russell; Schrock, Jon; Self, Wesley H.; Singer, Adam J.; Sterling, Sarah A.; Ward, Michael J.; Walsh, Cheryl; Butler, Javed; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineImportance: Up to 20% of patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with acute heart failure (AHF) are discharged without hospitalization. Compared with rates in hospitalized patients, readmission and mortality are worse for ED patients. Objective: To assess the impact of a self-care intervention on 90-day outcomes in patients with AHF who are discharged from the ED. Design, setting, and participants: Get With the Guidelines in Emergency Department Patients With Heart Failure was an unblinded, parallel-group, multicenter randomized trial. Patients were randomized 1:1 to usual care vs a tailored self-care intervention. Patients with AHF discharged after ED-based management at 15 geographically diverse EDs were included. The trial was conducted from October 28, 2015, to September 5, 2019. Interventions: Home visit within 7 days of discharge and twice-monthly telephone-based self-care coaching for 3 months. Main outcomes and measures: The primary outcome was a global rank of cardiovascular death, HF-related events (unscheduled clinic visit due to HF, ED revisit, or hospitalization), and changes in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-12 (KCCQ-12) summary score (SS) at 90 days. Key secondary outcomes included the global rank outcome at 30 days and changes in the KCCQ-12 SS score at 30 and 90 days. Intention-to-treat analysis was performed for the primary, secondary, and safety outcomes. Per-protocol analysis was conducted including patients who completed a home visit and had scheduled outpatient follow-up in the intervention arm. Results: Owing to slow enrollment, 479 of a planned 700 patients were randomized: 235 to the intervention arm and 244 to the usual care arm. The median age was 63.0 years (interquartile range, 54.7-70.2), 302 patients (63%) were African American, 305 patients (64%) were men, and 178 patients (37%) had a previous ejection fraction greater than 50%. There was no significant difference in the primary outcome between patients in the intervention vs usual care arm (hazard ratio [HR], 0.89; 95% CI, 0.73-1.10; P = .28). At day 30, patients in the intervention arm had significantly better global rank (HR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.64-0.99; P = .04) and a 5.5-point higher KCCQ-12 SS (95% CI, 1.3-9.7; P = .01), while at day 90, the KCCQ-12 SS was 2.7 points higher (95% CI, -1.9 to 7.2; P = .25). Conclusions and relevance: The self-care intervention did not improve the primary global rank outcome at 90 days in this trial. However, benefit was observed in the global rank and KCCQ-12 SS at 30 days, suggesting that an early benefit of a tailored self-care program initiated at an ED visit for AHF was not sustained through 90 days.Item Improvement in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Scores After a Self-Care Intervention in Patients With Acute Heart Failure Discharged From the Emergency Department(American Heart Association, 2021) Stubblefield, William B.; Jenkins, Cathy A.; Liu, Dandan; Storrow, Alan B.; Spertus, John A.; Pang, Peter S.; Levy, Phillip D.; Butler, Javed; Chang, Anna Marie; Char, Douglas; Diercks, Deborah B.; Fermann, Gregory J.; Han, Jin H.; Hiestand, Brian C.; Hogan, Christopher J.; Khan, Yosef; Lee, Sangil; Lindenfeld, JoAnn M.; McNaughton, Candace D.; Miller, Karen; Peacock, W. Frank; Schrock, Jon W.; Self, Wesley H.; Singer, Adam J.; Sterling, Sarah A.; Collins, Sean P.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: We conducted a secondary analysis of changes in the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)-12 over 30 days in a randomized trial of self-care coaching versus structured usual care in patients with acute heart failure who were discharged from the emergency department. Methods: Patients in 15 emergency departments completed the KCCQ-12 at emergency department discharge and at 30 days. We compared change in KCCQ-12 scores between the intervention and usual care arms, adjusted for enrollment KCCQ-12 and demographic characteristics. We used linear regression to describe changes in KCCQ-12 summary scores and logistic regression to characterize clinically meaningful KCCQ-12 subdomain changes at 30 days. Results: There were 350 patients with both enrollment and 30-day KCCQ summary scores available; 166 allocated to usual care and 184 to the intervention arm. Median age was 64 years (interquartile range, 55-70), 37% were female participants, 63% were Black, median KCCQ-12 summary score at enrollment was 47 (interquartile range, 33-64). Self-care coaching resulted in significantly greater improvement in health status compared with structured usual care (5.4-point greater improvement, 95% CI, 1.12-9.68; P=0.01). Improvements in health status in the intervention arm were driven by improvements within the symptom frequency (adjusted odds ratio, 1.62 [95% CI, 1.01-2.59]) and quality of life (adjusted odds ratio, 2.39 [95% CI, 1.46-3.90]) subdomains. Conclusions: In this secondary analysis, patients with acute heart failure who received a tailored, self-care intervention after emergency department discharge had clinically significant improvements in health status at 30 days compared with structured usual care largely due to improvements within the symptom frequency and quality of life subdomains of the KCCQ-12.Item Is there a clinically meaningful difference in patient reported dyspnea in acute heart failure? An analysis from URGENT Dyspnea(Elsevier, 2017-06) Pang, Peter S.; Lane, Kathleen A.; Tavares, Miguel; Storrow, Alan B.; Shen, Changyu; Peacock, W. Frank; Nowack, Richard; Mebazaa, Alexandre; Laribi, Said; Hollander, Judd E.; Gheorghiade, Mihai; Collins, Sean P.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineBackground Dyspnea is the most common presenting symptom in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), but is difficult to quantify as a research measure. The URGENT Dyspnea study compared 3 scales: (1) 10 cm VAS, (2) 5-point Likert, and (3) a 7-point Likert (both VAS and 5-point Likert were recorded in the upright and supine positions). However, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) to patients has not been well established. Methods We performed a secondary analysis from URGENT Dyspnea, an observational, multi-center study of AHF patients enrolled within 1 h of first physician assessment in the ED. Using the anchor-based method to determine the MCID, a one-category change in the 7-point Likert was used as the criterion standard (‘minimally improved or worse’). The main outcome measures were the change in visual analog scale (VAS) and 5-point Likert scale from baseline to 6-h assessment relative to a 1-category change response in the 7-point Likert scale (‘minimally worse’, ‘no change’, or ‘minimally better’). Results Of the 776 patients enrolled, 491 had a final diagnosis of AHF with responses at both time points. A 10.5 mm (SD 1.6 mm) change in VAS was the MCID for improvement in the upright position, and 14.5 mm (SD 2.0 mm) in the supine position. However, there was no MCID for worsening, as few patients reported worse dyspnea. There was also no significant MCID for the 5-point Likert scale. Conclusion A 10.5 mm change is the MCID for improvement in dyspnea over 6 h in ED patients with AHF.Item A Novel Fluorescent Clinical Method to Rapidly Quantify Plasma Volume(Karger Publishers, 2019) Molitoris, Bruce A.; George, Anthony G.; Murray, Patrick T.; Meier, Daniel; Reilly, Erinn S.; Barreto, Erin; Sandoval, Ruben M.; Rizk, Dana V.; Shaw, Andrew D.; Peacock, W. Frank; Medicine, School of MedicineObjectives To determine the performance of a rapid fluorescent indicator technique for measuring plasma volume (PV). Methods This was an open-label, observational evaluation of a two-component intravenous visible fluorescent dye technique to rapidly measure PV in 16 healthy subjects and 16 subjects with chronic kidney disease (8 stage 3 and 8 stage 4 CKD), at 2 clinical research sites. The method consisted of a single intravenous injection of 12 mg of a large 150-kDa carboxy-methyl dextran conjugated to a fluorescent rhodamine-derived dye as the PV marker (PVM), and 35 mg of a small 5-kDa carboxy-methyl dextran conjugated to fluorescein, the renal clearance marker. Dye concentrations were quantified 15 min after the injections for initial PV measurements using the indicator-dilution principle. Additional samples were taken over 8 h to evaluate the stability of the PVM as a determinant of PV. Blood volumes (BV) were calculated based on PV and the subject’s hematocrit. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from the plasma concentration data taken over several days using noncompartmental methods (Phoenix WinNonlin®). Linear correlation and Bland-Altman plots were used to compare visible fluorescent injectate-measured PV compared to Nadler’s formula for estimating PV. Finally, 8 healthy subjects received 350 mL infusion of a 5% albumin solution in normal saline over 30 min and a repeat PV determination was then carried out. Results PV and BV varied according to weight and body surface area, with PV ranging from 2,115 to 6,234 mL and 28.6 to 41.9 mL/kg when weight adjusted. Both parameters were stable for > 6 h with repeated plasma measurements of the PVM. There was no difference between healthy subjects and CKD subjects. Overall, there was general agreement with Nadler’s estimation formula for the mean PV in subjects. A 24-h repeat dose measurement in 8 healthy subjects showed PV variability of 98 ± 121 mL (mean = 3.8%). Additionally, following an intravenous bolus of 350 mL of a 5% albumin solution in normal saline in 8 healthy subjects, the mean (SD) measured increase in PV was 356 (±50.0) mL post-infusion. There were no serious adverse events reported during the study. Conclusions This minimally invasive fluorescent dye approach safely allowed for rapid, accurate, and reproducible determination of PV, BV, and dynamic monitoring of changes following fluid administration.Item Sex Differences in the Management and Outcomes of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction in Patients Presenting to the Emergency Department with Acute Heart Failure(Elsevier, 2015-12) Zsilinszka, Reka; Shrader, Peter; DeVore, Adam D.; Hardy, N. Chantelle; Mentz, Robert J.; Pang, Peter S.; Peacock, W. Frank; Fonarow, Gregg C.; Hernandez, Adrian F.; Department of Emergency Medicine, IU School of MedicineBackground Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is more common in women than in men; data characterizing sex differences in the management and outcomes of HFpEF patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) are limited. Methods and Results Using Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry Emergency Module data linked to Medicare claims, we conducted a retrospective analysis of acute HF patients in the ED, identifying HFpEF (ejection fraction [EF] ≥40%) patients and stratifying by sex to compare baseline characteristics, ED therapies, hospital length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, and post-discharge outcomes. Of 4161 HFpEF patients, 2808 (67%) were women, who were more likely to be older and hypertensive, but less likely to be diabetic or smokers (all P < .01). Women more often presented with systolic blood pressure >140 mm Hg (62.5% vs 56.4%; P = .0001) and higher EF. There were no sex differences in ED therapies, adjusted 30- and 180-day all-cause mortality, in-hospital mortality, or 30- and 180-day readmissions. After adjustment, women had longer LOS (0.40 days, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.10–0.70; P = .008). Conclusions Women with HFpEF presenting to the ED were more likely to have elevated systolic blood pressure, but overall ED management strategies were similar to those in men. We observed adjusted differences in hospital LOS, but no differences in 30- and 180-day outcomes.Item Troponin is unrelated to outcomes in heart failure patients discharged from the emergency department(Wiley, 2022-04-09) Fermann, Gregory J.; Schrock, Jon W.; Levy, Phillip D.; Pang, Peter; Butler, Javed; Chang, Anna Marie; Char, Douglas; Diercks, Deborah; Han, Jin H.; Hiestand, Brian; Hogan, Chris; Jenkins, Cathy A.; Kampe, Christy; Khan, Yosef; Kumar, Vijaya A.; Lee, Sangil; Lindenfeld, JoAnn; Liu, Dandan; Miller, Karen F.; Peacock, W. Frank; Reilly, Carolyn M.; Robichaux, Chad; Rothman, Russell L.; Self, Wesley H.; Singer, Adam J.; Sterling, Sarah A.; Storrow, Alan B.; Stubblefield, William B.; Walsh, Cheryl; Wilburn, John; Collins, Sean P.; Emergency Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Prior data has demonstrated increased mortality in hospitalized patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and troponin elevation. No data has specifically examined the prognostic significance of troponin elevation in patients with AHF discharged after emergency department (ED) management. Objective: Evaluate the relationship between troponin elevation and outcomes in patients with AHF who are treated and released from the ED. Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the Get with the Guidelines to Reduce Disparities in AHF Patients Discharged from the ED (GUIDED-HF) trial, a randomized, controlled trial of ED patients with AHF who were discharged. Patients with elevated conventional troponin not due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were included. Our primary outcome was a composite endpoint: time to 30-day cardiovascular death and/or heart failure-related events. Results: Of the 491 subjects included in the GUIDED-HF trial, 418 had troponin measured during the ED evaluation and 66 (16%) had troponin values above the 99th percentile. Median age was 63 years (interquartile range, 54-70), 62% (n = 261) were male, 63% (n = 265) were Black, and 16% (n = 67) experienced our primary outcome. There were no differences in our primary outcome between those with and without troponin elevation (12/66, 18.1% vs 55/352, 15.6%; P = 0.60). This effect was maintained regardless of assignment to usual care or the intervention arm. In multivariable regression analysis, there was no association between our primary outcome and elevated troponin (hazard ratio, 1.00; 95% confidence interval, 0.49-2.01, P = 0.994). Conclusion: If confirmed in a larger cohort, these findings may facilitate safe ED discharge for a group of patients with AHF without ACS when an elevated troponin is the primary reason for admission.Item Using Sex‐specific Cutoffs for High‐sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T to Diagnose Acute Myocardial Infarction(Wiley, 2021-04) Peacock, W.
