Background: Rehabilitation in hospital is effective in reducing mortality after hip fracture. However, there is uncertainty over optimal in-hospital rehabilitation treatment ingredients, and the generalizability of trial findings to subgroups of patients systematically excluded from previous trials. The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial which aims to assess the clinical- and cost-effectiveness of adding a stratified care intervention to usual care designed to improve outcomes of acute rehabilitation for all older adults after hip fracture.

- - The kidney failure risk equation (KFRE) is used to estimate the risk of kidney failure and aids in early referral to kidney services for those at high risk, particularly people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
- - A study involving 7,296 individuals showed that 10.2% developed end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) over a follow-up period of about 10 years, with the KFRE performing well in predicting these events but generally underestimating the risk.
- - The KFRE demonstrated strong discrimination for ESKD risk, with C-index scores of 0.842 and 0.816 for the primary endpoint at 2 and 5 years, respectively, indicating that its calibration
Objectives: We aim to evaluate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) patterns of progression in a multiethnic cohort of people with type I diabetes mellitus and with baseline eGFR ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m.
Design: Observational cohort.
Purpose: The aim was to compare the probability of discharge after hip fracture surgery conditional on being alive and in hospital between patients mobilised within and beyond 36-hours of surgery across groups defined by depression.
Methods: Data were taken from the National Hip Fracture Database and included patients 60 years of age or older who underwent hip fracture surgery in England and Wales between 2014 and 2016. The conditional probability of postsurgical live discharge was estimated for patients mobilised early and for patients mobilised late across groups with and without depression.
Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are often iron deficient, even when not anemic. This trial evaluated whether iron supplementation enhances exercise capacity of nonanemic patients with CKD who have iron-deficiency.
Methods: Prospective, multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial of nondialysis patients with CKD and iron-deficiency but without anemia (Hemoglobin [Hb] >110 g/l).
