Cumulative incidence of chronic health conditions recorded in hospital inpatient admissions from birth to age 16 in England.

Background: Monitoring the incidence of chronic health conditions (CHCs) in childhood in England, using administrative data to derive numerators and denominators, is challenged by unmeasured migration. We used open and closed birth cohort designs to estimate the cumulative incidence of CHCs to age 16 years.

Methods: In closed cohorts, we identified all births in Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) from 2002/3 to 2011/12, followed to 2018/19 (maximum age 8 to 16 years), censoring on death, first non-England residence record or 16th birthday.

Care-experienced young people's views and experiences of accessing general practice and dental services and attending health reviews in England: a qualitative study.

Background: Children in care and care leavers have worse health outcomes than their peers without care experience. This study addresses an evidence gap in exploring care-experienced young people's views and experiences of accessing general practice and dental services and attending health reviews in England.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using podcasting as a creative medium.

Patient Characteristics Associated With Disparities in Engagement With and Experience of COVID-19 Remote Home Monitoring Services: A Mixed-Methods Evaluation.

Introduction: The adoption of remote healthcare methods has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but evidence suggests that some patients need additional support to engage remotely, potentially increasing health disparities if needs are not met. This study of COVID-19 remote home monitoring services across England explores experiences of and engagement with the service across different patient groups.

Methods: This was a mixed-methods study with survey and interview data collected from 28 services across England between February and June 2021.

A Cost Evaluation of COVID-19 Remote Home Monitoring Services in England.

Background: Remote home monitoring services emerged as critical components of health care delivery from NHS England during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to provide timely interventions and reduce health care system burden. Two types of service were offered: referral by community health services to home-based care to ensure the right people were admitted to the hospital at the right time (called COVID Oximetry@home, CO@h); and referral by hospital to support patients' transition from hospital to home (called COVID-19 Virtual Ward, CVW). The information collected for the oxygen levels and other symptoms was provided via digital means (technology-enabled) or over the phone (analogue-only submission mode).

Access to primary care for children and young people (CYP) in the UK: a scoping review of CYP's, caregivers' and healthcare professionals' views and experiences of facilitators and barriers.

Association Between Causative Pathogen and Occurrence of Infection-Related Glomerulonephritis in Infective Endocarditis.

Among patients with pathologically proven infective endocarditis, the association of pathogen with occurrence of infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) was examined in 48 case patients with IRGN and 192 propensity score-matched controls. Bartonella was very strongly associated with IRGN (odds ratio, 38.2 [95% confidence interval, 6.

Immunotactoid hepatopathy: A novel entity with histologically proven recurrence post liver transplantation.

Immunotactoid deposition is a rare fibrillary deposition disease that is primarily seen in the kidney and is associated with paraproteinemia. Here, we report a case of hepatic immunotactoid deposition in a 67-year-old male with a history of smoldering myeloma and chronic kidney disease who underwent liver transplantation for metabolic dysfunction-related cirrhosis. Immunotactoid deposition was first identified in the explanted liver and recurred in the allograft within only 7 weeks following transplantation, presenting as ascites with normal liver function tests.

The Clinical and Pathological Characteristics of Patients with Oxalate Nephropathy.

Key Points: Oxalate nephropathy is an underrecognized cause of CKD and ESKD. We present one of the largest native oxalate nephropathy cohorts to date from a tertiary care institution in the United States. Oxalate nephropathy has multiple etiologies and given its clinical course and poor prognosis, attention must be paid to screening for risk factors to guide prompt diagnosis and management.

Novel biomarker discovery through comprehensive proteomic analysis of lupus mouse serum.

Objectives: The difficulty of monitoring organ-specific pathology in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) often complicates disease prognostication and treatment. Improved non-invasive biomarkers of active organ pathology, particularly lupus nephritis, would improve patient care. We sought to validate and apply a novel strategy to generate the first comprehensive serum proteome of a lupus mouse model and identify mechanism-linked lupus biomarker candidates for subsequent clinical investigation.

Local Inflammation But Not Kidney Cell Infection Associated with High APOL1 Expression in COVID-Associated Nephropathy.

In coronavirus disease-19 biopsies, detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was rare with no evidence of viral replication, whereas autopsy tissue failed quality control. In patients with FSGS, apolipoprotein L1 expression differed by degree of immune cell infiltrates, with some podocytes exhibiting up to 18-fold higher expression. In COVAN, the predicted high induction of apolipoprotein L1 expression occurs in a pattern consistent with the stochastic nature of FSGS pathology.

A Tangled Autoimmune Trio: Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody Vasculitis.

The coexistence of multiple autoimmune diseases in the same individual is unusual and has received little attention in the literature. We present a young female patient with multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and biopsy-proven renal proteinase 3 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodyassociated vasculitis who responded well to intravenous rituximab clinically and serologically.

Patient and staff experiences of using technology-enabled and analogue models of remote home monitoring for COVID-19 in England: A mixed-method evaluation.

Objective: To evaluate patient and staff experiences of using technology-enabled ('tech-enabled') and analogue remote home monitoring models for COVID-19, implemented in England during the pandemic.

Methods: Twenty-eight sites were selected for diversity in a range of criteria (e.g.

Defining the molecular correlate of arteriolar hyalinosis in kidney disease progression by integration of single cell transcriptomic analysis and pathology scoring.

Arteriolar hyalinosis in kidneys is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, the main cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The underlying molecular mechanisms of protein accumulation in the subendothelial space are not well understood. Using single cell transcriptomic data and whole slide images from kidney biopsies of patients with CKD and acute kidney injury in the Kidney Precision Medicine Project, the molecular signals associated with arteriolar hyalinosis were evaluated.

Staff experiences of training and delivery of remote home monitoring services for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in England: A mixed-methods study.

Objectives: Remote home monitoring services for patients at risk of rapid deterioration introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic had important implications for the health workforce. This study explored the nature of 'work' that health care staff in England undertook to manage patients with COVID-19 remotely, how they were supported to deliver these new services, and the factors that influenced delivery of COVID-19 remote home monitoring services for staff.

Methods: We conducted a rapid mixed-methods evaluation of COVID-19 remote home monitoring services during November 2020 to July 2021 using a cross-sectional survey of a purposive sample of staff involved in delivering the service (clinical leads, frontline delivery staff and those involved in data collection and management) from 28 sites across England.

Undertaking rapid evaluations during the COVID-19 pandemic: Lessons from evaluating COVID-19 remote home monitoring services in England.

Introduction: Rapid evaluations can offer evidence on innovations in health and social care that can be used to inform fast-moving policy and practise, and support their scale-up according to previous research. However, there are few comprehensive accounts of how to plan and conduct large-scale rapid evaluations, ensure scientific rigour, and achieve stakeholder engagement within compressed timeframes.

Methods: Using a case study of a national mixed-methods rapid evaluation of COVID-19 remote home monitoring services in England, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, this manuscript examines the process of conducting a large-scale rapid evaluation from design to dissemination and impact, and reflects on the key lessons for conducting future large-scale rapid evaluations.

Complement detection in kidney biopsies - utility and challenges.

Purpose Of Review: This review discusses the important role of staining for components of the complement cascade in both native and transplant kidney biopsies. The use of complement staining as a marker of prognosis, disease activity, and as a potential future tool in identifying patients who may benefit from complement-targeted therapies is discussed.

Recent Findings: While staining for C3, C1q and C4d can yield valuable information about complement activation in kidney biopsies, to adequately assess complement activation and potential therapeutic targets, expanded staining panels looking at multiple split products and complement regulatory proteins are needed.

Urine Sediment Examination: Comparison Between Laboratory-Performed Versus Nephrologist-Performed Microscopy and Accuracy in Predicting Pathologic Diagnosis in Patients with Acute Kidney Injury.

Key Points: A nephrologist is more likely to recognize the presence of pathologic casts and dysmorphic red blood cells. Nephrologist-performed urine sediment analysis is also highly accurate in diagnosing acute tubular injury or glomerulonephritis when compared with kidney biopsy.

Introduction: Automated urine technology is becoming the standard for urinalysis microscopy.

The Cleveland Clinic Kidney Biopsy Epidemiological Project.

Background: The kidney biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing glomerular diseases. Large-scale, epidemiologic studies describing the prevalence of kidney diseases are lacking, especially in the United States. We aimed to determine the spectrum of biopsy-proven kidney disease across the Cleveland Clinic enterprise.
