Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

Right ventricular failure does not explain all cases of death in patients with chronic pulmonary hypertension. Searching for alternative explanations, we evaluated the prognostic significance of main pulmonary artery (PA) dilatation in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).', 'A retrospective outcome analysis was made of 264 patients (aged 46 17 years; women, 69%; PAH, 82%) who underwent both CT scan measurement of the PA and right-sided heart catheterization (mean PA pressure, 57.6 16.5 mm Hg) at initial evaluation.', 'The diameter of the PA ranged from 28 to 120 mm (mean, 39 8.6 mm; median, 38 mm) and was largest in patients with unrepaired congenital defects (42.6 7.6 mm). Pulmonary pulse pressure (P = .04), lower age (P = .03), and duration of symptoms (P < .001) were independently but weakly related to PA diameter. During follow-up (median, 38 months), 99 patients (37%) died. Of these 99 deaths, 73 (74%) were due to heart failure or comorbidities, and 26 (26%) were unexpected deaths (UE-Ds). PA diameter (hazard ratio [HR], 1.06 per 1 mm; 95% CI, 1.03-1.08), heart rate (HR, 1.30 per 10 beats/min; 95% CI, 1.01-1.66), and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (HR, 1.02 per 1 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04) were the only independent predictors of UE-D and differed from the usual predictors found in the study group for all-cause mortality. PA diameter 48 mm had 95% specificity and 39% sensitivity and carried 7.5 times higher risk of UE-D (95% CI, 3.4-16.5; P < .0001) during follow-up.

Cirrhotic patients undergoing transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for refractory ascites or recurrent variceal bleeding are at risk for decompensation and death. This study examined whether a new model for end stage liver disease (MELD), which incorporates serum sodium (MELDNa), is a better predictor of death or transplant after TIPS than the original MELD.', "One hundred forty-eight consecutive patients undergoing nonemergent TIPS for refractory ascites or recurrent variceal bleeding from 1997 to 2006 at a single center were evaluated retrospectively. Cox model analysis was performed with death or transplant within 6 months as the end point. The models were compared using the Harrell's C index. Recursive partitioning determined the optimal MELDNa cutoff to maximize the risk:benefit ratio of TIPS.", 'The predictive ability of MELDNa was superior to MELD, particularly in patients with low MELD scores. The C indices (95% confidence interval [CI]) for MELDNa and MELD were 0.65 (95% CI, 0.55-0.71) and 0.58 (95% CI, 0.51-0.67) using a cut-off score of 18, and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.60-0.85) and 0.62 (95% CI, 0.49-0.74) using a cut-off score of 15. Using a MELDNa >15, 22% of patients were reclassified to a higher risk with an event rate of 44% compared with 10% when the score was <or=15.

Recent studies found that early repolarization (ER) is significantly more common in survivors of aborted sudden cardiac death. We hypothesized that ER might be more common in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who have complications of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.', 'This study included 266 patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Twelve-lead electrocardiograms were analyzed for ER, defined as J-point elevation 0.1 mV and "notching" and "slurring" of the terminal part of the QRS complex in at least 2 lateral or inferior leads. Acute and late atrial and ventricular arrhythmic events were evaluated.', 'The ER pattern was observed in 76 patients (28.6%). Atrial arrhythmia [21/76 (27.6%) vs. 22/190 (11.6%), p=0.001] and ventricular arrhythmia [16/76 (21.1%) vs. 16/190 (8.4%), p=0.004] were more frequently complicated in patients with ER than those without during hospitalization. ER was a significant independent predictor of developing atrial (HR=2.682, 95% CI=1.355-5.310, p=0.005) and ventricular arrhythmia (HR=2.936, 95% CI=1.360-6.335, p=0.006). Three patients with ER and ventricular fibrillation expired during hospitalization [3.9% (3/76) vs. 0% (0/190), p=0.023]. However, the presence of ER did not affect the late recurrence of atrial and ventricular arrhythmia.
