Article Synopsis
- * In a cohort of 2505 CKD patients, researchers found that while urea levels did not significantly predict new antidepressant prescriptions, higher urea was linked to worsening depressive symptoms over a 5-year follow-up.
- * The findings suggest a connection between serum urea levels and depression symptoms, highlighting the need for further research to clarify the mechanisms involved.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an elevated risk of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). It remains unclear whether CKD-related NCDs have a specific cognitive pattern or are earlier-onset phenotypes of the main NCDs (vascular NCDs and Alzheimer's disease).
Methods: We used the Mini Mental State Examination score (MMSE) to assess cognitive patterns in 3003 CKD patients (stage 3-4) followed up over 5 years in the Chronic Kidney Disease-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (CKD-REIN) cohort.
Hip fracture is a common injury and represents a major health problem with an increasing incidence. In older adults, opioids such as oxycodone are often preferred to other analgesics such as tramadol because of a lower risk of delirium. Different parameters, such as inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 2D6 and/or 3A4, can potentially lead to pharmacokinetic variations of oxycodone representing a risk of adverse drugs effects or lack of drug response.

Respiratory tract infections are frequent among older patients, and differentiating viral from bacterial infections is a challenge. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of recently available respiratory PCR testing on antimicrobial prescription in geriatric acute care.

We assessed the association between kidney and cognitive functions in patients with CKD and the influence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, and depression on this association.
Methods: The CKD-Renal Epidemiology and Information Network cohort included 3033 patients with CKD stages 3-4, followed for 5 years.
