Use Ciprofloxacin with Adalimumab for Perianal Crohn Disease
At least half of draining fistulas closed in 71% of patients randomized to combination therapy versus 47% with anti-TNF therapy alone.
The combination of TIMI score and HEART score identifies patients at less than 1% risk for death or cardiac events within 30 days.
Patients with "low-risk" chest pain consume enormous resources with extremely low yield from observation and testing such as exercise tolerance testing. Decision aids could be useful in such cases; however, neither the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score nor the HEART score is sufficiently sensitive to predict 30-day cardiac events (missing 2% to 3% of such events). Both scores consider symptoms, age, risk factors, and electrocardiogram findings, and the HEART score also incorporates troponin testing.
