Clinical Characteristics and Management of Patients with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Undergoing Hemodialysis: A Feasibility Analysis of Electronic Health Records Using Natural Language Processing.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of applying natural language processing (NLP) to analyze real-world data (RWD) and resolve clinical problems in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism and chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis (SHPT/CKD-HD). The primary objective was to evaluate how well the guideline-recommended analytical goals are achieved in a Spanish cohort of SHPT/CKD-HD patients based on RWD.

Methods: Unstructured data in the electronic health records (EHRs) from 8 hospitals were retrospectively analyzed using the technology, based on NLP and machine learning.

[Characterization of hospitalized patients with acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 in Spain: Renal replacement therapy and mortality. FRA-COVID SEN Registry Data].

Background And Objectives: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and associated with worse prognosis. The Spanish Society of Nephrology created the AKI-COVID Registry to characterize the population admitted for COVID-19 that developed AKI in Spanish hospitals. The need of renal replacement therapy (RRT) therapeutic modalities, and mortality in these patients were assessed.

Advantages of the use of citrate over acetate as a stabilizer in hemodialysis fluid: A randomized ABC-treat study.

Hemodialysis (HD) with bicarbonate dialysis fluid (DF) requires the presence of an acid to prevent the precipitation of calcium and magnesium carbonate. The most used acid is acetic acid, with it several complications have been described. In a previous work we described the acute changes during an HD session with a DF with citrate instead of acetate.
