Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), the educational gradient in diagnostic and disease-modifying treatment (DMT) delays is sparsely examined, results are mixed. Objectives: Among patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), we aimed to examine delay initiation of first DMT. Design: A nationwide cohort study. Methods: We linked Danish Multiple Sclerosis Registry other registries. Diagnostic was evaluated 4344 ⩾20 years at clinical onset from January 1, 2012, onwards, diagnosed by March...
Abstract Background Treatment of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) with hemodialysis requires surgical creation an arteriovenous (AV) vascular access—fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG)—to avoid (or limit) the use a central venous catheter (CVC). AVFs have long been considered first-line access option, AVGs as second best. Recent studies suggested that, in older adults, may be better strategy than AVFs. Lacking evidence from well-powered randomized clinical trials, integration these results into...
A mega fistula can be defined as generalized aneurysmal dilatation of arteriovenous fistula. Mega fistulae lead to complications like high output cardiac failure, steal syndrome, skin ulceration and rupture. We describe a series ten patients who were referred our interventional nephrology practice for evaluation which had not been in use long time. Nine out post-transplant while one was pre dialysis. Five Radiocephalic four Brachiocephalic Brachial artery Median Cubital vein All except...
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been used increasingly in past decade. Many of these patients undergo transplantation and may require for delayed graft function (DGF). The outcomes DGF based on the post-transplantation modality are not well known.
Place and duration of study: The study was conducted at diabetic clinic B.V. Hospital/Q.A.M.C Bahawalpur from December 1st, 2004 to March 15th, 2005. Background: Diabetes mellitus hepatitis C infections are common emerging problems the society. Either diabetes is in chronic patients as reported initially by Ellison co-workers or infection more frequent mellitus. We want frequency c Objectives: To note any risk factors predisposing infection. Designs: A...
Vascular access dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on chronic hemodialysis. The effects abnormalities mineral metabolism vascular are unclear. In this study, we evaluated the association metabolites, including 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), complications.We included participants from Choices for Healthy Outcomes Caring ESRD (CHOICE) Study who were using an arteriovenous fistula (AVF; n = 103) or...
Background: The effects of delayed graft function on long-term kidney allograft outcomes are poorly defined among simultaneous liver and transplant recipients. Methods: We analyzed data all recipients transplanted at the University Wisconsin between 2010 2017. Risk factors for development function, failure, patient mortality were interest. Results: There a total 60 recipients; 28 (47%) had function. After adjustment multiple variables, we found that pretransplant dialysis >6 weeks (hazard...
Introduction: The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced an End-Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment System (PPS) in 2011 to increase the utilization of home dialysis modalities, including peritoneal (PD). Several studies have shown a significant PD after PPS implementation. However, its impact on patients with kidney allograft failure remains unknown. Methods: We conducted interrupted time series analysis using data from US Data (USRDS) that include all adult transplant...
This article presents the rationale, challenges, and adaptive strategies employed during initiation execution of AV Access trial—a multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) grafts (AVGs) for hemodialysis in older adults with major comorbidities. Motivated by shifts epidemiologic landscapes evolving guidelines moving away from a Fistula First approach to more patient-centric approaches, objective this RCT is fill critical knowledge gaps determining...
Background: Delay in care of suspected stenosis or thrombosis can increase the chance losing a functioning hemodialysis access. Access to and resources were restricted during COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate impact pandemic on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) graft (AVG) procedures we have assessed number success thrombectomies done before Methods: We examined all AVF AVG angiograms with without interventions, including thrombectomies, performed at single center April 2017–March 2021 (pre-COVID-19...
<h3>Introduction</h3> Mortality related to end-stage liver disease is increasing. Coupled with an ageing population, this will lead increasing numbers of those aged over 65 a de novo diagnosis cirrhosis. However, the incidence and clinical behaviour cirrhosis in old age not well understood. Our aim was evaluate elucidate characteristics elderly patients. <h3>Methods</h3> All patients at our institution were identified using health board electronic record. Data on patient demographics, date...
