Identifying the mechanisms of structural racism, such as racial and ethnic segregation, is a crucial first step in addressing persistent disparities access to live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT).
This cohort study assesses the policies expanding health care coverage of kidney transplant to undocumented immigrants on access and outcomes.
Key Points Older patients with kidney failure who are newly diagnosed sleep disorders at higher risk of developing any type dementia, vascular and other/mixed types dementia. For older obstructive apnea, positive airway pressure therapy is an intervention that associated lower dementia risk. Background Community-dwelling adults Greater than 50% experience disorders, which may explain their high burden Methods Among 216,158 (aged 66 years older) (United States Renal Data System; 2008–2019),...
ABSTRACT Background Medical distrust may hinder kidney transplantation (KT) access. Among KT candidates evaluated for waitlisting, we identified factors associated with high levels and quantified their association waitlisting. Methods 812 (2018–2023), assessed using the Revised Health Care System Distrust Scale across composite, competence, values subscales. We used linear regression to quantify associations between candidate neighborhood‐level scores. Cox models scores Results At...
Advancements in medical technology, healthcare delivery, and organ allocation resulted improved patient/graft survival for older (age ≥65) kidney transplant (KT) recipients. However, the recent trends these post-KT outcomes are uncertain light of mounting burden cardiovascular disease, changing policies, heterogeneity candidates' risk profile, coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Thus, we examined secular among younger KT recipients over last 3 decades.We identified 73 078 378 800 adult (aged...
Abstract Background Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir (Epclusa, ECS) is the first pan-genotype direct-acting antiviral agent (DAA) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and Danoprevir (DNV) DAA developed by a Chinese local enterprise, which suitable combined use with other drugs to treat genotype 1b chronic C. However, previous reports have never compared real-world data of ECS DNV. Patients methods 178 patients were retrospectively recruited, 94cases accepted ± Ribavirin (ECS group), others ( n = 84...
Key Points Regardless of race and ethnicity, older adults with kidney failure residing in or receiving care at dialysis facilities located high-segregation neighborhoods were a 1.63-fold 1.53-fold higher risk dementia diagnosis, respectively. Older minority-predominant had 2.19-fold diagnosis compared White individuals White-predominant neighborhoods. Background Dementia disproportionately affects minoritized failure. To better understand the mechanism this disparity, we studied role racial...
ABSTRACT Introduction Adults residing in deprived neighborhoods face various socioeconomic stressors, hindering their likelihood of receiving live‐donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) and preemptive (KT). We quantified the association between residential neighborhood deprivation index (NDI) LDKT/preemptive KT, testing for a differential impact by race ethnicity. Methods studied 403 937 adults (age ≥ 18) KT candidates (national transplant registry; 2006–2021). NDI its 10 components were...
Frailty and cognitive function are often measured during kidney transplant evaluation. However, patient perspectives on the ethical considerations of this practice unclear.
Obesogenic medications are a putative contributor to the obesity epidemic. While 20% of adults take ≥1 obesogenic medication, proportion in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) population-a group enriched for cardiometabolic complications-is unknown. may contribute and hamper weight loss efforts achieve transplant listing.
ABSTRACT Introduction Dietary restrictions for patients with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) are burdensome. Kidney transplantation (KT) candidates who lack neighborhood resources and burdened by dietary may have decreased access to KT. Methods In our two‐center prospective cohort study (2014–2023), 2471 ESKD were evaluated KT (candidates) reported their perceived burden of (not at all, somewhat/moderately, or extremely bothered). Neighborhood‐level socioeconomic factors derived from...
Kidney transplant (KT) candidates often experience hospitalizations, increasing their delirium risk. Hospitalizations and are associated with worse post-KT outcomes, yet relationship pre-KT outcomes is less clear. Pre-KT may worsen access to KT due its negative impact on cognition ability maintain overall health.
Background: Unintentional weight loss, a hallmark of frailty, predicts worse post-kidney transplantation (KT) outcomes. However, loss in candidates with obesity is often recommended to enhance transplant eligibility. We tested whether pre-evaluation change associated listing/waitlist mortality, considering intentionality and frailty. Methods: leveraged data on body mass index (BMI), intentionality, (one-year at evaluation), frailty (four-component Physical Frailty Phenotype evaluation) for...
