    Abstract Background: Data protection policies might prohibit the transfer of existing study data to interested research groups. To overcome legal restrictions, simulated data can be transferred that mimic the structure but are different from the existing study data.
    Objectives: The aim of this work is to introduce the simple-to-use R package Mock Data Generation (modgo) that may be used for simulating data from existing study data for continuous, ordinal categorical, and dichotomous variables.
    Methods: The core is to combine rank inverse normal transformation with the calculation of a correlation matrix for all variables. Data can then be simulated from a multivariate normal and transferred back to the original scale of the variables. Unique features of modgo are that it allows to change the correlation between variables, to perform perturbation analysis, to handle multicenter data, and to change inclusion/exclusion criteria by selecting specific values of one or a set of variables. Simulation studies on real data demonstrate the validity and flexibility of modgo.
    Results: modgo mimicked the structure of the original study data. Results of modgo were similar with those from two other existing packages in standard simulation scenarios. modgo's flexibility was demonstrated on several expansions.
    Conclusion: The R package modgo is useful when existing study data may not be shared. Its perturbation expansion permits to simulate truly anonymized subjects. The expansion to multicenter studies can be used for validating prediction models. Additional expansions can support the unraveling of associations even in large study data and can be useful in power calculations.

    Abstract Renal function is associated with cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. Among equations used to eGFR, CKD-EPI equations show more accurate association with cardiovascular risk and mortality than MDRD. Recently, new CKD-EPI equations were proposed which do not include race and would be considered sufficiently accurate to estimate eGFR in clinical practice. It is unknown if these new race-free equations are comparably well associated with cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk individuals. The analysis was performed in the AtheroGene Study cohort including patients at high cardiovascular risk. eGFR was determined using the established as well as the recently developed formulas which are calculated without the otherwise existing coefficient for black race. The outcome was cardiovascular death. Analyses included Cox-proportional hazard regression and area-under-the-curve calculation. The analysis included 2089 patients followed up for a median of 3.8 years with a maximum of 6.9 years, corresponding to an overall period of 7701 patient-years. Cardiovascular death occurred in 93 (4.45%), corresponding to an annualized rate of 1.2/100 person-years. In all Cox regression analyses, the estimated adjusted GFR was an independent predictor of cardiovascular death. The equations which included cystatin C showed higher C-index compared to those which did not include cystatin C (0.75-0.76 vs. 0.71, respectively). The equations for the estimation of eGFR which include cystatin C are better associated with cardiovascular death compared to the race-free equations which include only creatinine. This finding adds on the related literature which supports the elimination of race in GFR-estimating equations, and promotion of the use of cystatin C.

    Abstract Statistical prediction models have gained popularity in applied research. One challenge is the transfer of the prediction model to a different population which may be structurally different from the model for which it has been developed. An adaptation to the new population can be achieved by calibrating the model to the characteristics of the target population, for which numerous calibration techniques exist. In view of this diversity, we performed a systematic evaluation of various popular calibration approaches used by the statistical and the machine learning communities for estimating two-class probabilities. In this work, we first provide a review of the literature and, second, present the results of a comprehensive simulation study. The calibration approaches are compared with respect to their empirical properties and relationships, their ability to generalize precise probability estimates to external populations and their availability in terms of easy-to-use software implementations. Third, we provide code from real data analysis allowing its application by researchers. Logistic calibration and beta calibration, which estimate an intercept plus one and two slope parameters, respectively, consistently showed the best results in the simulation studies. Calibration on logit transformed probability estimates generally outperformed calibration methods on nontransformed estimates. In case of structural differences between training and validation data, re-estimation of the entire prediction model should be outweighted against sample size of the validation data. We recommend regression-based calibration approaches using transformed probability estimates, where at least one slope is estimated in addition to an intercept for updating probability estimates in validation studies.

    Abstract Background: Vasopressor test (VPT) might be useful in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and left ventricular dysfunction (MITRA-FR-like patients) during transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER).
    Aims: We aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of VPT.
    Methods: MR treated with TEER were included in a multicenter prospective registry. VPT was used intraprocedurally in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and/or hypotension. The 1-year echocardiographic and clinical outcomes were compared according to the use of VPT. The primary endpoint was a combination of mortality + heart failure (HF) readmission at 1-year.
    Results: A total of 1115 patients were included, mean age was 72.8 ± 10.5 years and 30.4% were women. VPT was performed in 128 subjects (11.5%), more often in critically ill patients with biventricular dysfunction. Postprocedurally the VPT group had greater rate of MR ≥ 2+ (46.9% vs. 31.7%, p = 0.003) despite greater number of devices (≥2 clips, 52% vs. 40.6 p = 0.008) and device repositioning or new clip in 12.5%. At 1-year, the primary endpoint occurred more often in the VPT group (27.3% vs. 16.9%, p = 0.002) as well as all-cause mortality (21.9% vs. 8.1%, p ≤ 0.001) but no differences existed in HF readmission rate (14.8% vs. 13.2%, p = 0.610), cardiovascular mortality (4.4% vs. 3.9%, p = 0.713) or residual MR ≥ 2+ (51.1% vs 51.7%, p = 0.371).
    Conclusions: Dynamic evaluation of MR during TEER procedure through VPT was performed in patients with worse baseline risk who also presented higher all-cause mortality at 1-year follow-up. However, 1-year residual MR, cardiovascular mortality and HF readmission rate remained comparable suggesting that VPT might help in the management of MITRA-FR-like patients.

    Titelübersetzung Epidemiological characterization of infection by SARS-CoV-2 of the healthcare workers of a university hospital in Santiago de Chile.
    Abstract Background: The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak originated in the Hubei province in China spread rapidly throughout the world during the first months of 2020. On March 3, the first case was reported in Chile; at 17 days the first case of COVID-19 healthcare worker (HCW) was notified in our institution.
    Aim: To describe the demographic characteristics and the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the HCW of a university hospital in Chile.
    Material and method: Retrospective study of SARS-CoV-2 infection on HCW in a university hospital between March 1 and May 31, 2020.
    Results: There were 273 positive cases. In the period under study, we had an incidence of 5.8%. When we separated the cases into clinical and non-clinical personnel, it was observed that their incidences were practically identical (5.8 vs. 5.7% p = 0.9430). 88% of the officials were oligosymptomatic or asymptomatic at the beginning of the clinical presentation and only 12% had a fever before the medical consultation.
    Conclusion: The incidence reported in the study was around 5 times that reported in Wuhan. If we apply the current definition of cases, we would lose 4 out of 5 cases. 88% of HPW did not present criteria to be considered suspicious, so it would be advisable in HCW to eliminate fever as a criterion to improve the research and trace their contacts on time.
