ObjectiveEarly thrombosis (ET) contributes to autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure. We studied patients undergoing AVF placement in the Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation Study, a prospective, observational cohort study, using nested case-control analysis identify preoperative and intraoperative predictors of ET.MethodsET cases were compared with controls, who matched for gender, age, diabetes, dialysis status, surgeon volume. ET was defined as diagnosed by physical examination or...
Abstract The pathogenesis of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure is unclear. We evaluated the associations wall shear stress (WSS) with subsequent AVF remodeling and clinical using regression models in this prospective cohort study. Participants underwent duplex ultrasound at postoperative Day 1, Week 2, 6 to measure blood flow rate diameter draining vein proximal artery. median WSS 602 participants decreased from 1 (from 33.4 21.6 dyne/cm 2 ) but did not change noticeably for...
The aim of this study is to investigate predictive factors for intensive care unit (ICU) admission among patients with severe leptospirosis. This a retrospective all leptospirosis admitted tertiary hospital. Patients were divided in ICU and ward groups. Demographical, clinical laboratory data the groups compared as well acute kidney injury (AKI) severity, according RIFLE criteria (R = Risk, I Injury, F Failure, L Loss, E End-stage disease). A total 206 included, 83 123 ward. Mean age was 36...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a serious complication of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The aim this study to describe demographical, clinical and laboratory features HLH in children with VL.This retrospective cohort VL admitted tertiary hospital Northeast, Brazil, from January 2012 April 2014. Clinical data at admission during stay were reviewed. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined according the pediatric Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss, End-stage disease criteria.A total 127...
To assess clinical and laboratory data, acute kidney injury (AKI) in HIV-infected children using not highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) prior to admission.A retrospective study was conducted with pediatric patients (<16 years). Children who were HAART admission compared.Sixty-three included. Mean age 5.3±4.27 years; 55.6% females. AKI observed 33 (52.3%) children. Patients on presented lower levels of potassium (3.9±0.8 vs. 4.5±0.7mEq/L, p=0.019) bicarbonate (19.1±4.9...
Background: This study aims to investigate renal toxicities of Polymyxin B and Vancomycin among critically ill patients risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI).Methods: is a cross-sectional conducted with admitted an intensive care unit (ICU) tertiary hospital in Brazil. Patients were divided into two groups: those who used association + (Group I) only II). Risk AKI also analyzed.Results: A total 115 included. Mean age was 59.2 ± 16.1 years, 52.2% males. Group I presented higher GFR...
This study was conducted to investigate changes in the clinical pattern of leptospirosis over time, analyzing its and laboratory presentations a metropolitan city Brazil.This retrospective including all patients with admitted tertiary care hospitals Fortaleza northeast Brazil, between 1985 2015. Patients were divided into three groups according year hospital admission: group I for years 1985-1995, II 1996-2005, III 2006-2015. Demographic, clinical, data compared groups.A total 507 included....
Background End‐stage renal disease is accompanied by functional and structural vascular abnormalities. The objective of this study was to characterize function in a large cohort patients with end‐stage disease, using noninvasive physiological measurements, correlate demographic clinical factors. Methods Results We analyzed cross‐sectional baseline data from the Hemodialysis Fistula Maturation Study, multicenter prospective observational 602 7 centers. Brachial artery flow‐...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is an important and potentially fatal neglected tropical disease. The aim of this study was to investigate hyponatremia risk factors for death among VL patients. This a cross-sectional with patients admitted tertiary hospital in Northeast Brazil, from 2002 2009. Patients were divided into two groups: non-survivors survivors. Hyponatremia defined as serum sodium < 135 mEq/L. A logistic regression model done death. total 285 included, mean age 37 ± 15 years, 74%...
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with poor outcomes among elderly hospitalized patients leptospirosis.Methods: This is a retrospective cohort leptospirosis admitted three tertiary hospitals in Fortaleza, Brazil, from January 1985 July 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: (age ≥60 years) and young <60 years).
