Publication and dbGaP datasets mapping before triage
The dataset contains information derived from a corpus of 1205 publications, involving the analysis of dbGaP datasets, that were authored by approved recipients as of 2013. Each instance in the dataset corresponds to a publication, dbGaP dataset pair. Multiple instances are derived from a publication if it used more than one dbGaP dataset. This file contains the following information for each instance: the publication's pmid, pmcid, the dbGaP phs number, the journal title, the published date and the manuscript received date, the dbGaP dataset released date, the journal impact factor and eigenfactor score. A description of the columns in the dataset is available in the README file

Table_1_Right Ventricle to Pulmonary Artery Coupling Predicts the Risk Stratification in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.DOCX
BackgroundPulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc). PAH has high mortality, and risk assessment is critical for proper management. Whether the right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling accurately assesses risk status and predicts prognosis in patients with SSc-associated PAH has not been investigated.MethodsBetween March 2010 and July 2018, 60 consecutive patients with SSc-associated PAH diagnosed by right heart catheterization were enrolled prospectively, and the mean follow-up period was 52.9 ± 27.0 months. The RV-PA coupling was assessed by the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) which was obtained by transthoracic echocardiography. The simplified risk stratification strategy was applied to assess the risk level of participants, and the endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and clinical worsening.ResultsThe receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the ability to determine high-risk patients identified the optimal cut-off value of the TAPSE/PASP ratio as 0.194 mm/mmHg, and the ratio appeared to be a reliable indicator in the stratification of patients with high risk (area under the curve = 0.878, ROC P-value = 0.003), which showed the highest positive likelihood ratio (LR) (5.4) and the lowest negative LR (0) among a series of echocardiographic parameters. The TAPSE/PASP ratio was an independent predictive factor (HR = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.00–0.77, P = 0.037) for the composite endpoint, and patients with a TAPSE/PASP ratio >0.194 had a better overall survival for both the composite endpoint (log-rank χ2 = 5.961, P = 0.015) and all-cause mortality (log-rank χ2 = 8.004, P = 0.005) compared to the patients with a TAPSE/PASP ≤ 0.194.ConclusionRV-PA coupling assessed by the TAPSE/PASP ratio provides added value as a straightforward and non-invasive approach for predicting risk stratification of patients with SSc-associated PAH. Meanwhile, a lower TAPSE/PASP ratio identified a subgroup with worse prognosis.</p
Table_1_Myocardial involvement is not rare in anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis/clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis: a retrospective study.docx
ObjectivesStudies concerning myocardial involvement (MI) in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis/clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM) are scarce. We aimed to characterize MI in our anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM cohort and to investigate its association with prognosis.MethodsIn this single-center retrospective study, anti-MDA5 Ab+ hospitalized DM/CADM patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) were enrolled. Myocardial involvement was diagnosed according to abnormal cardiac structure and function detected by TEE. Clinical features and cardiac examination findings of patients with MI were analyzed. Clinical features, laboratory findings, complications, and treatments were compared between MI and non-MI, deceased, and survival patients. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the independent risk factors for the occurrence of MI and prognostic factors for these patients.ResultsSeventy-six hospitalized patients with anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM were enrolled. Twelve (15.8%) patients were diagnosed with MI. Of the 12 patients, three underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were noted for them. TEE revealed that eight (66.7%) patients had left atrial and/or ventricular enlargement, three (25.0%) had cardiac hypertrophy, six (50.0%) had diffuse ventricular wall dyskinesia, and seven (58.3%) had diastolic dysfunction. Six (50.0%) patients with MI developed heart failure (HF) during treatment. Of the 12 patients, one patient died of HF caused by myocarditis, three died of infection, and four died of exacerbation of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Logistic regression analysis revealed that dysphagia (OR 3.923, 95% CI 1.085, 14.181), NT-proBNP >600 pg/ml (OR 18.333, 95% CI 1.508, 222.875), and increased peripheral white blood cells (OR 1.201, 95% CI 1.003, 1.438) were risk factors for the occurrence of MI, but plasma albumin (OR 0.892, 95% CI 0.796, 0.999) was a protective factor. Both MI (OR 5.984, 95% CI 1.174, 30.496) and RP-ILD (OR 11.875, 95% CI 2.796, 50.411) were independent risk factors for the mortality of these anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM patients.ConclusionMyocardial involvement is not rare and is an independent poor prognostic factor of anti-MDA5 Ab+ DM/CADM patients. Cardiac abnormality screening is necessary for them.</p
Datasheet1_Case Report: Temporary pacing using active fixation lead and invasive electrophysiology studies for immune checkpoint inhibitor associated reversible advanced atrioventricular block.pdf
A case of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)-associated myocarditis with reversible advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) was reported. We innovatively used active fixation lead connected to an external device for prolonged temporary pacing until atrioventricular conduction recovered. Invasive electrophysiology studies were performed to evaluate atrioventricular conduction in detail. Long-term follow-up for nearly 120-days and repeated long-term electrocardiography was conducted to ensure the conduction system was truly recovered.</p
