Effect of the 2014 atrial fibrillation guideline revisions on the proportion of patients recommended for oral anticoagulation.
Researchers assessed the potential effect of a new guideline for atrial fibrillation (AF) by comparing the proportion of patients with AF recommended for oral anticoagulation (OAC) under the 2011 and 2014 guidelines. They found that two-thirds of patients with AF who were previously not recommended for OAC are newly recommended under the 2014 guideline. They advised future studies evaluating longitudinal changes in anticoagulation treatment patterns and outcomes among patients reclassified by the new guidelines.

Demographics, bystander CPR, and AED use in out-of-hospital pediatric arrests.
The researchers sought to determine if the 2005 American Heart Association guidelines for routine use of automated external defibrillators during pediatric out-of-hospital arrest are used during resuscitations. They found that young children suffering from presumed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests are less likely to have a shockable rhythm when compared to adults, and are less likely to have an AED used during resuscitation.
