[Predictors of process-related and structuring parental support during distance learning due to Corona-pandemic].

Long-Term Single-Center Outcomes of Patients With Chronic Renal Dialysis Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.

Background: The prevalence of dialysis-dependent chronic renal failure (DD-CRF) is growing worldwide. Such patients are exposed to a higher cardiovascular risk because of severe calcification and congestive heart failure caused by volume overload, with poor outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes of patients with DD-CRF who were undergoing cardiac surgery in a single institution (West German Heart and Vascular Centre Essen, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany).
