Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent in dialysis-naive patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, there are sparse data on the association of CAC subsequent risk cardiovascular and all-cause mortality this population.
Studies of hemodialysis patients have shown a U-shaped association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mortality. These studies largely relied on dialysis-unit SBP measures not evaluated whether this U-shape also exists in advanced chronic kidney disease, before starting hemodialysis. We determined the mortality at disease again after initiation This was prospective study Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort participants with followed through studied when (1) had an estimated glomerular...
In the general population, medication nonadherence contributes to poorer outcomes. However, little is known about adherence among adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We evaluated association of self-reported CKD progression and all-cause death in patients CKD.In this prospective observational study 3305 mild-to-moderate enrolled Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study, baseline was assessed by responses 3 questions categorized as high, medium, low. (50% decline eGFR or incident...
Low health literacy in the general population is associated with increased risk of death and hospitalization. The evaluation individuals predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) limited.We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate associations limited function cardiovascular (CVD) factors 2,340 non-Hispanic (NH) Whites Blacks aged 21 - 74 years mild-to-moderate CKD. Limited was defined as Short Test Functional Health Literacy Adults (STOFHLA) score ≤ 22. Outcomes evaluated included...
We recently reported a linear association between higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) and risk of mortality in hemodialysis patients when SBP is measured outside the dialysis unit (out-of-dialysis-unit-SBP), despite there being U-shaped at (dialysis-unit-SBP) with mortality. Here, we explored relationship cardiovascular events, which has important treatment implications but not been well elucidated. Among 383 participants enrolled prospective CRIC study (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort),...
Prior research found increases in diabetes among youth during the COVID-19 pandemic, but few studies examined variation across sociodemographics.To examine incidence rates a diverse population of US before and pandemic.This cohort study included data from Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) between January 1, 2016, December 31, 2021. KPSC members aged birth to 19 years with no history were included. Individuals followed up using electronic health records for defined diagnoses,...
