Objective: To describe the evolution of the profile of patients attended by a Geriatric Home Care (GHC) Unit and its care activity in the last two decades.
Methods: Data on the historical activity of the AGD Unit from 2001 to 2020, grouped into 5-year periods, were recorded. Sociodemographic, clinical, functional (Functional Red Cross Scale and Barthel index) and mental (Mental Red Cross Scale) variables were collected, baseline and at inclusion to AGD.
Purpose Of Review: This review provides a critical literature overview of the risks and benefits of transplantectomy in patients with a failed allograft. Additionally, it offers a summary of related problems, primarily alloantibody sensitization in the event of nephrectomy and immunosuppression weaning.
Recent Findings: Transplant nephrectomy has high morbidity and mortality rates.
Immunogenicity and Safety of the Adjuvanted Recombinant Zoster Vaccine in Chronically Immunosuppressed Adults Following Renal Transplant: A Phase 3, Randomized Clinical Trial.
Clin Infect Dis
January 2020
Background: The incidence of herpes zoster is up to 9 times higher in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients than in the general population. We investigated the immunogenicity and safety of an adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) in renal transplant (RT) recipients ≥18 years of age receiving daily immunosuppressive therapy.
Methods: In this phase 3, randomized (1:1), observer-blind, multicenter trial, RT recipients were enrolled and received 2 doses of RZV or placebo 1-2 months (M) apart 4-18M posttransplant.
