... with an increased risk of mortality. The objective of our research was to directly explore the relationship between PN and risk of mortality in patients with CKD. Method: 1,836 participants with CKD and 6,036 participants without CKD, which were classified by PN based on monofilament examination in National Health...

...Dawei Chen; Yan Tan; Xin Wan Introduction: This study aimed to explore the association of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) use with in-hospital mortality among Chinese patients with hypertension hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods: This study was conducted from January...

... benefits in reducing mortality and delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Thus, we herein review the current evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of SGLT2i in patients with nondiabetic CKD and appraise the recently reported clinical trials...

..., the China Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (DOPPS) 5 (2012–2015), were analyzed. Demographic data, comorbidities, lab data, and death records were extracted. CHF was defined by the diagnosis records upon study inclusion. Our primary outcome was all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality...

... (ICU) patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and the dose-response association between fluid overload (FO) and mortality. Methods: We derived data from the Beijing Acute Kidney Injury Trial (BAKIT). A total of 1,529 critically ill patients with AKI were included. The primary outcome was 28-day...

...Zu-feng Wang; Yi-chun Cheng; Nan-Hui Zhang; Ran Luo; Kang-lin Guo; Shu-Wang Ge; Gang Xu Background: The relationship between marital status and CKD is rarely studied. We aimed to explore the effect of marital status on the depression and mortality of patients with CKD. Methods: The data sources...

... using COX regression models. Results: Compared to “limited a lot” in moderate activities, “limited a little” and “not limited at all” groups were associated with lower all-cause mortality after adjusted for covariates (HR: 0.652, 95% CI: 0.435–0.977, and HR: 0.472, 95% CI: 0.241–0.927, respectively...

... < 0.001) mortality. In the stratified analysis of systolic BPV, interdialytic systolic BPV, rather than 44-h ambulatory systolic BPV or intradialytic systolic BPV, was identified to be related to both all-cause (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.05–1.17; p = 0.001) and cardiovascular (HR: 1.14; 95% CI: 1.06–1.22; p...

..., particularly in patients with end-stage kidney disease. The association between serum Mg levels and mortality risk in patients receiving hemodialysis is controversial. We aimed to estimate the prognostic value of serum Mg concentration on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in patients receiving...

... was used to evaluate AKI risk factors, and Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association between AKI and in-hospital mortality. Results: A total of 119 patients with COVID-19 were included in our study. The median patient age was 70 years (interquartile range, 59–77) and 61.3% were male...

However, the frequency of infectious...

...Caibao Lu; Yiqin Wang; Daihong Wang; Ling Nie; Ying Zhang; Qiuyu Lei; Jiachuan Xiong; Jinghong Zhao Background: The relationship between magnesium and mortality in hemodialysis patients has been evaluated in several prospective studies, but few have assessed the risk of all-cause mortality...

...Berthold Hocher; Andreas Pasch Background: Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) patients have a huge morbidity and mortality. Only relatively minor progress in therapeutic strategies has been made in the past decades. This is at least partially due to a lack of predictive...

...Josée Bouchard; Ravindra L. Mehta Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent and is associated with poor outcomes, including increased mortality, higher risk of chronic kidney disease, and prolonged hospital lengths of stay. The epidemiology of AKI mainly derives from studies performed...

.... (4) In Asian countries, in particular in the South and South-East, hepatitis and tuberculosis infections in HD patients are higher than in the West and substantially increase mortality. (5) Progress has recently been made in countries like Thailand and Brunei to provide universal HD access to all...
