Importance Hypertension affects 6% of all children, and its prevalence is increasing. Childhood hypertension tracks into adulthood associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease; however, there a lack evidence linking childhood to outcomes, which may contribute underdiagnosis undertreatment. Objective To determine the long-term risk major adverse cardiac events (MACE) among children diagnosed hypertension. Design, Setting, Participants This was population-based, retrospective, matched...
Abstract Objective To study age specific associations of modest reductions in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with adverse outcomes. Design Retrospective, population based cohort study. Setting Linked healthcare administrative datasets Ontario, Canada. Participants Adult residents (18-65 years) at least one outpatient eGFR value (categorized 10 unit increments from 50 mL/min/1.73m 2 to >120 ), no history kidney disease. Main outcome measures eGFRs and hazard ratios composite...
Women are underrepresented in the leadership of and participation randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We conducted a bibliometric review nephrology RCTs to examine trial by women RCTs.
Navigating for accurate information, especially health- and science-related content, on social media has been challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although infographics are a popular medium simplifying text-based information into visual components, their usefulness global health crisis not explored. The study aims to explore perceptions of in conveying scientific related media. Following campaign that published from May August 2020, cross-sectional survey was administered users,...
Identifying meaningful estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reductions in younger adults (<65 years) could guide prevention efforts. To aid interpretation and identification of young at risk, we examined the association population-level eGFR percentiles relative to median by age clinical outcomes.
Abstract Background and Aims Whether early eGFR declines (eGFR below age-expected values) in younger adults are associated with adverse outcomes is unknown. We aim to estimate the association of an decline by age group (18-39, 40-49, 50-65 years). Methods included 8.9 million (aged 18-65) ≥1 value using linked healthcare datasets Ontario from January 2008-March 2020. The categories &lt;60 &gt;120 mL/min/1.73 m2 (death, cardiovascular outcomes, end-stage kidney disease) was examined...
