Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) through a survey conducted among 4,500 patients in various medical departments from March 17 to July 11, 2020.
- - Out of the surveyed patients, about 20% responded to the first survey during the lockdown, revealing that nearly 46% experienced disrupted follow-up care, a trend mirrored in a subsequent survey conducted two months post-lockdown.
- - The findings highlighted that patients across all departments had similar negative perceptions regarding their healthcare follow-ups during and after lockdown, emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach in managing chronic conditions during crises.
Background: The evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cancer patients seems to rely mostly on the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formula or the creatinine levels to adjust treatment dosages which is a practice refuted by internists.
Aims: We evaluate the overall agreement of the CG, modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and CKD-epidemiology collaboration equations (CKD-EPI) equation with the newly devised Janowitz and Williams' (JW) equation.
Methods: The renal function was estimated in 235 cancer patients according to the CG, MDRD, body surface area (BSA)-adjusted MDRD, CKD-EPI, BSA-adjusted CKD-EPI and JW formulae.
