Abstract Background Several clinical trials have shown beneficial effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on kidney disease progression and cardiovascular morbidity mortality in patients with chronic (CKD) without type diabetes mellitus. However, some subgroups CKD been excluded from participation these trials, such as severely impaired function, dialysis, transplant recipients. Methods The Renal Lifecycle trial (NCT05374291) is a pragmatic, international, multicenter,...
Abstract Objective This study evaluates postoperative outcomes of patients with kidney failure on chronic replacement therapy after gynecological surgery. Methods binational data‐linkage identified via the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis Transplant Registry who underwent major surgeries between 2000 2015. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary included infective, medical, wound complications, transfusion requirement, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, readmissions, length stay,...
Patients with kidney failure receiving chronic replacement therapy (KRT: dialysis or transplantation) have increased risks of postoperative mortality and morbidity. This study assesses the outcomes acute cholecystitis in patients on KRT who undergo cholecystectomy compared to nonoperative management. bi-national population cohort evaluated all incident prevalent using linked data between Australia New Zealand Dialysis Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry jurisdictional hospital admission datasets...
Abstract Data linkage is a valuable technique for uniting information from multiple sources that relates to the same person, place, family or event. Despite its value, establishing such linkages in Australia remains challenging. Existing policies are missed opportunity research and innovation engender negative attitude among researchers when considering data as means. Greater leadership Population Health Research Network cooperation custodians Human Ethics Committees necessary access...
Abstract Introduction The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is a six-parameter model that commonly used in assessing individual 30-day perioperative cardiovascular risk before general surgery, but its use patients on chronic kidney replacement therapy (KRT) unvalidated. This study aimed to externally validate RCRI this patient group over 15-year period. Methods Data linkage was between the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry jurisdictional hospital admisisons...
To estimate the incidence and postoperative mortality rates of surgery, variations by age, diabetes, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) modality, time over a 15-year period.Patients with failure receiving chronic KRT (dialysis or transplantation) have increased risks morbidity. Contemporary data on types surgery these patients undergo are lacking.This binational population cohort study evaluated all incident prevalent using linked between Australia New Zealand Dialysis Transplant (ANZDATA)...
The increasing incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally highlights the importance early targeted screening at-risk persons in primary healthcare settings. This study investigated detection CKD among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients attending an urban service.Routine data extracted for all with active electronic medical record on 7 December 2017 were used to identify who eligible have a health check (KHC), comprising estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) urine...
Abstract Background The condition onset flag (COF) variable was introduced into the hospitalization coding practice in 2008 to help distinguish between new and pre-existing conditions. However, Australian datasets collected prior lack COF, potentially leading data waste. aim of this study determine if an algorithm lookback across previous admissions could make distinction. Methods All patients requiring kidney replacement therapy (KRT) identified Australia New Zealand Dialysis Transplant...
Abstract Kidney involvement is an under‐recognized complication of non‐Hodgkin lymphomas. They occur in a variety mechanisms and differ widely their clinical presentation. We take this opportunity to report case 65 year‐old man who developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis within days after completing his first cycle R‐CHOP (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Prednisolone) chemotherapy for newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. He was odematous, hypertensive,...
Background: Clinical quality registries provide rich and useful data for clinical monitoring research purposes but are susceptible to issues that can impact their usage. Objective: This study assessed the concordance between comorbidities recorded in Australia New Zealand Dialysis Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry those state-based hospital admission datasets. Method: All patients South Wales, Australia, Tasmania, Victoria Western ANZDATA as requiring chronic kidney replacement therapy (KRT)...
Numerous studies have addressed the predictive value of pathology findings from Oxford Classification. Whether this influences treatment choice has not been determined. We evaluated patients with IgA nephropathy who were immunosuppressed and correlated our both clinical histological features as per This was a retrospective observational study 45 had biopsy-proven mean follow-up 2.6 years. Primary outcomes time to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or 50% rise in serum creatinine....
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients who undergo gastroendoscopy and colonoscopy are at increased risk of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PD peritonitis) following the procedure (defined as occurring within 7 days intervention). As per current International Society for PD (ISPD) guidelines, antibiotic prophylaxis is currently recommended pre-colonoscopy in given post-colonoscopy peritonitis. The undergoing capsule endoscopy (CE) unknown. This binational data-linkage study between...
A woman in her 20s presented with nephrotic syndrome and hyperemesis early pregnancy. Pertinent initial investigations revealed a severe acute kidney injury, serum albumin of 19 g/L, random protein creatinine ratio 800 g/mol microscopic haematuria. All immunological infection serology testing including anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM; ELISA) were negative. Kidney biopsy demonstrated diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis cellular crescents involving >90% glomeruli,...
