Key Points: The rate of prescription of opioid medication decreased between 2011 and 2020 for patients with ESRD. The risk of death for dialysis and kidney transplant patients increased as morphine milligram equivalents in prescriptions increased.
Background: Pain is important for patients with kidney failure, but opioid medication prescriptions are associated with morbidity and mortality.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how many people got End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) over the last 40 years, focusing on Black and White Americans of different ages.
- It found that the number of cases went up for teenagers, adults, and older people, but the increase slowed down after 1993, and by 2006, most age groups saw a drop except for White adults.
- By 2019, ESKD rates for Black and White teens were almost back to levels from 1980, but Black patients had higher rates than White patients in every age group, showing the need to address health care and treatment differences.
Purpose: Diabetes and obesity, components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), are risk factors for urinary incontinence (UI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We interrogated US population-based data to explore independent, sex-specific associations between nondiabetic MetS, with and without obesity, and UI and/or CKD.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 8586 males and 8420 females ≥20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Objective: To describe sex- and diagnosis-specific comorbidities, outcomes, and secular trends associated with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in a large, real-world population diagnosed with hydronephrosis in infancy.
Materials And Methods: We identified all infants ≤1 year old with ≥1 claim in the Optum Clinformatics 2007-2020 nationwide population database and used univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses to estimate associations of demographic and clinical characteristics of infants with a UPJO diagnosis with surgical status.
Results: Of 22,349 infants with hydronephrosis (1.
