Background: Current knowledge about risk factors for severe COVID-19 among kidney transplant recipients stem from meta-analyses of small or regional studies.
Methods: All kidney transplant recipients in Sweden as of 1 January 2020 ( = 5824) were followed during the first 2 years of the pandemic. Data from the Swedish Renal Registry and linked health care registries were analyzed by multivariable adjusted logistic regression to identify risk factors for severe COVID-19, defined as hospitalization or death due to COVID-19.
Background: Few contemporary studies have investigated the changes in quality of life across dialysis modalities. Our aim was to compare longitudinal changes in health-related physical and mental quality of life between patients on institutional hemodialysis (IHD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home hemodialysis (HHD).
Methods: Patients on dialysis with registered Research and Development 36 (RAND-36) questionnaires between 2017-2021 in the Swedish Renal Registry (SRR) were eligible for inclusion.
Background/objectives: Myosteatosis has been associated with sarcopenia, and increased mortality risk in patients on hemodialysis. We aimed to explore the associations between myosteatosis, as assessed by computed tomography (CT), with demographic parameters, body composition metrics, muscle strength, metabolic parameters and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Subjects/methods: We enrolled 216 patients (age 60.
Background: Postural instability is considered a late complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, growing evidence shows that balance and gait problems may occur early in the disease.
Objective: To describe balance, gait, and falls/near falls in persons with newly diagnosed, untreated PD ("de novo"), and to compare this with persons with mild-moderate PD (Later PD).
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 3,632 reports, 24 studies with over 60,000 participants showed a significant prevalence of hypokalemia, linked to higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, as well as increased risk of peritonitis.
- * However, the certainty of these findings is low, and the effectiveness of potassium supplementation in these patients remains unclear due to variability across studies.
