Article Synopsis
- Aim: The study investigates risk factors for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and creates a prediction model using a nomogram.
- Methodology: Researchers analyzed clinical data from 234 AAV patients, applying logistic regression and LASSO methods to identify predictors, then validated the prediction model with ROC curve analysis and bootstrap methods.
- Findings: Key independent predictors for AAV with DAH included age, hemoglobin levels, ESR, platelet count, and hematuria, and the nomogram demonstrated strong predictive accuracy with an AUCROC of 0.852.
Background And Objectives: VasQ (Laminate Medical Technologies, Israel) is an external support device for autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) designed to improve anastomotic blood flow and reduce neointimal hyperplasia. However, different studies have shown that the efficacy of the VasQ device in improving AVF is inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of the VasQ device.

However, the renal protective effect of SGLT2i in non-diabetic nephropathy patients has not been extensively demonstrated. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the renal protective effect and safety of SGLT2i in non-diabetic nephropathy patients.
