Trends in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are important for health care policy and planning.To update trends CKD prevalence.Repeated cross-sectional study.NHANES (National Health Nutrition Examination Survey) 1988 to 1994 every 2 years from 1999 2012.Adults aged 20 or older.Chronic (stages 3 4) was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 15 59 mL/min/1.73 m2, with Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation calibrated serum creatinine...
Use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has grown substantially in recent years. Increasing use led to the realization that PICCs are associated with important complications, including thrombosis and infection. Moreover, some may not be placed for clinically valid reasons. Defining appropriate indications insertion, maintenance, care is thus patient safety. An international panel was convened applied RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method develop criteria PICCs. After systematic...
Background: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis were excluded from clinical trials of direct oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation (AF). Recent data have raised concerns regarding the safety dabigatran and rivaroxaban, but apixaban has not been evaluated despite current labeling supporting its use in this population. The goal study was to determine patterns associated outcomes dialysis-dependent patients ESKD AF. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort...
Prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with diagnosed diabetes is known to be high, but little about the prevalence CKD those undiagnosed or prediabetes. We aimed estimate and compare community among diabetes, prediabetes, no diabetes.The 1999 through 2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey a representative survey civilian, noninstitutionalized US population. Participants who were aged > =20 years; responded questionnaire; had fasting plasma glucose (FPG), serum...
Background. Levels of physical exercise among haemodialysis patients are low. Increased activity in this population has been associated with improved health-related quality life (HRQoL) and survival. However, results previous studies may not be applicable to the as a whole. The present study provides first description international patterns frequency its association programmes clinical outcomes participants Dialysis Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS).
The impact of recent guidelines for early detection and prevention chronic kidney disease (CKD) on patient awareness factors that might be associated with have not been well described.Awareness rates were assessed in 2992 adults (age, > or =20 years) CKD stages 1 to 4 from a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey (National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004). Awareness was defined by an answer yes "Have you ever told weak failing kidneys?" Potential predictors included...
Poor sleep quality (SQ) affects many haemodialysis (HD) patients and could potentially predict their morbidity, mortality, of life (QOL) patterns medication use.Data on SQ were collected from 11,351 in 308 dialysis units seven countries the Dialysis Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) between 1996 2001 through a patient self-reported scale, ranging 0 (worst) to 10 (best). A score <6 reflected poor SQ. Sleep disturbance was also assessed by daytime sleepiness, feeling drained nocturnal...

Such inform long-range planning for resources needs. Methods We an open compartmental model estimate the prevalence United States through 2030 on basis wide-ranging population obesity death rates. trends race, diabetes were data from Centers Disease Control Prevention’s National Health Nutrition Examination Survey US Census.

India is the diabetes capital with home to 69.1 million people DM, second highest number of cases after China. Recent epidemiological evidence indicates a rising DM epidemic across all classes, both affluent and poor in India. This article reports on prevalence pre-diabetes North Indian state Punjab as part large household NCD Risk Factor Survey. A STEPS survey was done Punjab, multistage stratified sample 5127 individuals. All subjects were administered WHO questionnaire, anthropometric...
Objective Oxidative stress and oxidized high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) are implicated as risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Yet, how HDL is rendered dysfunctional SLE remains unclear. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), the levels of which elevated lupus, possess oxidant‐generating enzymes, including myeloperoxidase (MPO), NADPH oxidase (NOX), nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We hypothesized that NETs mediate oxidation, impairing cholesterol...
Small clinical trials have shown that a reduction in dietary acid load (DAL) improves kidney injury and slows function decline; however, the relationship between DAL risk of ESRD population-based cohort with CKD remains unexamined. We examined association DAL, quantified by net excretion (NAEes), progression to nationally representative sample adults United States. Among 1486 age≥20 years enrolled National Health Nutrition Examination Survey III, was determined 24-h recall questionnaire. The...
Background— Patients with end-stage renal disease are at high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aims of the present study were to describe prevalence peripheral arterial (PAD) its effects on prognosis health-related quality life (HRQOL) in an international cohort patients hemodialysis. Methods Results— Data from Dialysis Outcomes Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS), a prospective, international, observational hemodialysis (n=29 873), analyzed. Associations between baseline...
