Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 2,184 LDCs at five transplant centers, 18.6% ended up donating, while 38.2% had modifiable reasons for stopping and 43.2% were found medically ineligible.
- * Factors that increased likelihood of donation included discussing donation with the recipient beforehand, completing high school, and having a close relationship with the recipient; meanwhile, high anxiety levels, the importance of religion, and being Non-White were associated with lower donation rates
Comparative analysis of mortality in patients admitted with an infection with influenza A/B virus, respiratory syncytial virus, rhinovirus, metapneumovirus or SARS-CoV-2.
Influenza Other Respir Viruses
January 2024
Background: While influenza virus and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are recognised as a cause of severe illness and mortality, clinical interest for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infections is still limited.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective database study comparing baseline characteristics and 30-day mortality in a large cohort of adult patients admitted for an overnight stay or longer with an influenza virus (A/B), rhinovirus, hMPV, RSV or SARS-CoV-2 infection. For non-SARS-CoV-2 viruses, data were included for the period July 2017-February 2020.
Background: In multimorbid older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the intensity of glucose-lowering medication (GLM) should be focused on attaining a suitable level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA ) while avoiding side effects. We aimed at identifying patients with overtreatment of T2DM as well as associated risk factors.
Methods: In a secondary analysis of a multicenter study of multimorbid older patients, we evaluated HbA levels among patients with T2DM.
Introduction: In an effort to maximize living donor kidney utilization, we describe the use of deceased donor vein extension grafts for right-sided living donor kidneys and report our single-center experience using this technique.
Methods: A retrospective review of kidney transplant recipients (KTR) who received a right living donor kidney with deceased donor vein extension graft. Recipient demographics, postoperative graft function, and surgical complications were reviewed.
