Article Synopsis
- Community-Acquired Acute Kidney Injury (CA-AKI) is linked to high hospital mortality and this study aimed to analyze its clinical profiles and outcome factors among patients.
- Conducted from 2021 to 2022, the study involved 283 participants and utilized KDIGO criteria to categorize patients, collecting data on demographics, clinical features, and outcomes over three months.
- Findings revealed that CA-AKI is prevalent among younger males, with sepsis as the leading cause; 30.4% of patients died within three months, underscoring the need for improved prevention and early detection strategies.
Introduction: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has emerged as an important outcome measure inpatients with CKD. The lack of prospective studies on HRQoL and its relation with hyperphosphatemia control measures among pre-dialysis patients necessitated the need for this study.
Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, open-labelled studythat was conducted for one year on 120 CKD stages III and IV patients divided equally into three groups: Group 1, in which patients under went dietary phosphorus modification; Group 2, in which they were administered calcium-based phosphate binders; and Group 3, in which they were administered non-calcium-based phosphate binders.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the surveillance of Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF) to detect early dysfunction and prolong access-patency, comparing clinical examination (CE), doppler, and fistulogram as detection methods.
- Conducted between December 2019 and April 2021, it involved patients with matured AVF and assessed secondary failure rates using these three methods, with the fistulogram considered the gold standard.
- Results showed that out of 88 analyzed patients at six months, 86.4% had patent AVFs, 9.1% experienced secondary failure, and the combination of CE and doppler had the highest sensitivity for detecting issues in AVF.
Background: Smartphones are often equipped with inertial sensors that measure individuals' physical activity (PA). However, their role in remote monitoring of the patients' PAs in telemedicine needs to be adequately explored.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the correlation between a participant's actual daily step counts and the daily step counts reported by their smartphone.
