All patients admitted for a first AMI included in the nationwide Swedish web-system for enhancement and development of evidence-based care in heart disease evaluated according to recommended therapies register between 2005 and 2010 were eligible (n=71638). After exclusion of patients who died in-hospital, patients with previous HF, patients with unknown left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), and patients who died during the first year after the index event, 38608 patients remained in the final analysis. Adherence to prescribed beta-blockers was determined for 1year after the index event using the national registry for prescribed drugs and was measured as proportion of days covered, the ratio between the numbers of days covered by the dispensed prescriptions and number of days in the period. As customary, a beta-blockers within the first year. Adherence was independently associated with improved long-term outcomes; however, uncertainty remains for patients with HFNEF and NEF. Nearly one in three AMI patients was non-adherent to beta-blockers within the first year. Adherence was independently associated with improved long-term outcomes; however, uncertainty remains for patients with HFNEF and NEF. A common limit of the widely used risk scores for preoperative assessment is the lack of information about aspects linked to frailty that may affect outcome, especially in the setting of elderly patients undergoing urological surgery. Frailty has recently been introduced as an additional characteristic to be assessed for better identifying patients at risk of negative outcomes. To examine the evidence for recent advances in preoperative assessment in patients undergoing urological surgery focussing on the detrimental effect of
