Significance Statement Centers have reported a wide range of AKI incidence rates among patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In retrospective observational study, the authors compared incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in adults without COVID-19 large New York City health system. Compared historical controls, had significantly higher AKI; were more likely to require RRT, intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation; experience in-hospital death. Male...
BackgroundCOVID-19 mortality disproportionately affects the Black population in United States (US). To explore this association a cohort study was undertaken.MethodsWe assembled of 505,992 patients receiving ambulatory care at Bronx Montefiore Health System (BMHS) between 1/1/18 and 1/1/20 to evaluate relative risk hospitalization death two time-periods, pre-COVID time-period (1/1/20–2/15/20) COVID (3/1/20–4/15/20). testing, were determined with Hispanic patient compared separately White...
Mortality in coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with increases prothrombotic parameters, particularly D-dimer levels. Anticoagulation has been proposed as therapy to decrease mortality, often adjusted for illness severity. We wanted investigate whether anticoagulation improves survival COVID-19 and if this improvement This a cohort study simulating an intention-to-treat clinical trial, by analyzing the effect on mortality chosen first 48 hours hospitalization. analyzed...
Background Patients with ESKD who are on chronic hemodialysis have a high burden of comorbidities that may place them at increased risk for adverse outcomes when hospitalized COVID-19. However, data in this unique patient population limited. The aim our study is to describe the clinical characteristics and short-term patients require hospitalization Methods We performed retrospective 114 were COVID-19 two major hospitals Bronx from March 9 April 8, 2020 during surge SARS-CoV-2 infections New...
Background. Infection is a serious complication of tunnelled cuffed catheter (TCC) use and associated with high mortality rates. Although attempts at TCC salvage after bacteraemia have been rates recurrent bacteraemia, there no large studies in which multivariate analysis has performed to control for confounding factors such as infecting organisms, diabetes, etc.
Objectives To determine the optimal threshold of blood and urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) to predict moderate severe acute kidney injury (AKI) persistent AKI lasting at least 48 consecutive hours, as defined by an adjudication panel. Methods A multicentre prospective observational study enrolled intensive care unit (ICU) patients recorded daily ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) plasma, heparin plasma NGAL. We used natural log-transformed NGAL in a logistic...
Background: In a cohort of patients with late-stage kidney disease who completed dialysis modality education and self-identified as racial ethnic minorities, we studied characteristics those choosing PD, perception usefulness the session in selection. Methods: this study individuals failure cared for by nephrologists at Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, NY, were referred education, we: 1-tested association patient selection 113 from 2021-2023, 2-examined quality 13 semi-structured...
Background: Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis are hospitalized frequently, leading to disproportionate cost of care, and contributing high morbidity mortality. Methods: To test the effectiveness peer mentorship reduce hospitalization rates among patients we performed a multi-center, pragmatic, randomized, controlled trial. Two hundred patient participants at risk for were enrolled, 140 in Bronx, NY 60 Nashville, TN. Of these, 101 randomized peer-mentor intervention 99 usual care....
As advances in Critical Care Medicine continue, critically ill patients are surviving despite the severity of their illness. The incidence acute kidney injury (AKI) has increased, and its impact on clinical outcomes as well medical expenditures been established. role, indications technological advancements renal replacement therapy (RRT) have evolved, allowing more effective therapies with less complications. With these changes, Nephrology become an established specialty, ongoing...
