Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its relationship with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure in the Dutch population, finding an 8.9% prevalence among 2.2 million adults.
- It revealed that individuals with CKD are typically older (average age 72), and a significant portion also has either T2D (19.9%) or heart failure (7.7%).
- Higher rates of cardiovascular complications and mortality were observed in CKD patients with T2D or heart failure, indicating the need for improved risk management strategies for these high-risk groups.
Background: Benefits of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in modifying the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease course have been suggested, but their ability to delay disability progression remains unknown. We examined the association between SSRI exposure and MS disability progression.
Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted using the British Columbia (Canada) Multiple Sclerosis clinical data linked to health administrative data.
