With the approval of International Classification Functioning, Disability and Health by World Assembly in May 2001, concurrent use both health-status measures is expected. It therefore important to understand relationship between these two concepts. The objective this paper provide a systematic standardized approach when linking Health. specific aims are develop rules, test their reliability illustrate rules with examples. Ten an example presented paper. percentage agreement health...
It has not been firmly established whether disturbed calcium-phosphate metabolism affects progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in humans. In this cohort study 227 nondiabetic patients with CKD, we assessed fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) plasma concentrations addition to other variables involved metabolism, and followed 177 the prospectively for a median 53 months assess renal disease. baseline cohort, found significant inverse correlation between glomerular filtration rate both...
Family studies suggest a genetic component to the etiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal (ESRD). Previously, we identified 16 loci for eGFR in genome-wide association studies, but associations these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) incident CKD or ESRD are unknown. We thus investigated with 26,308 individuals European ancestry free at baseline drawn from eight population-based cohorts followed median 7.2 years (including 2,122 cases defined as <60ml/min/1.73m2...
Elevated concentrations of albumin in the urine, albuminuria, are a hallmark diabetic kidney disease and associated with an increased risk for end-stage renal cardiovascular events. To gain insight into pathophysiological mechanisms underlying we conducted meta-analyses genome-wide association studies independent replication up to 5,825 individuals European ancestry diabetes 46,061 without diabetes, followed by functional studies. Known associations variants CUBN, encoding cubilin, urinary...
The relevance of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations and low-molecular-weight (LMW) apo(a) phenotypes in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has only been investigated by few studies. Therefore, we analysed this association three independent cohorts performed a Mendelian Randomization approach using instrumental variable regression.Lp(a) concentrations, phenotypes, one SNP the LPA gene (rs10455872) were measured CAVASIC study, including 241 male patients with intermittent claudication 246...
Reduced kidney function is a risk factor for hyperuricaemia and gout, but limited information on the burden of gout available from studies patients with chronic disease (CKD). We therefore examined prevalence correlates in large prospective observational German Chronic Kidney Disease (GCKD) study.Data 5085 CKD aged 18-74 years an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30-<60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or eGFR ≥60 overt proteinuria at recruitment non-missing values self-reported medications urate...
Background and Purpose— Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic stenosis of the internal artery benefit from early intervention. Heterogeneous data are available on influence timing stenting (CAS) procedural risk. Methods— We investigated association between treatment (0–7 days >7 after qualifying neurological event) 30-day risk stroke or death CAS CEA in a pooled analysis individual patient 4 randomized trials by Carotid Stenosis Trialists’ Collaboration....
To identify the most typical and relevant categories of International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) for patients with low back pain, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic generalized stroke, depression, obesity, ischaemic heart disease, obstructive pulmonary diabetes mellitus, breast cancer.An international expert survey using Delphi technique was conducted. Data were collected in 3 rounds. Answers linked to ICF analysed degree consensus.Between 21...
Abstract Functioning is recognized as an important study outcome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for RA application of the International Classification Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) World Organisation with purpose representing typical spectrum functioning patients RA. To strengthen patient perspective, persons were explicitly involved validation using qualitative methodology. objective was twofold: to come forward a proposal most appropriate...
Background: Plasma concentrations of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) are diagnostic prognostic biomarkers heart failure also increased in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We examined the relevance BNP NT-proBNP as predictors CKD progression.
Background: Impaired baseline kidney function is a well-defined risk factor for progression of chronic disease (CKD). We evaluated measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the serum markers creatinine, cystatin C, β-trace protein (BTP) diagnostic accuracy in defining stage impairment as predictors CKD progression.
The human vitamin E-binding glycoprotein afamin is primarily expressed in the liver and has been associated with prevalent incident metabolic syndrome. These data were line observations transgenic mice. We thus investigated whether concentrations are prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance (IR).Individual-level baseline (n = 20,136) follow-up 14,017) of eight prospective cohort studies investigated. Study-level combined using random-effects meta-analyses. Main outcomes IR....
