Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, children, displaced people, and refugees, often encounter challenges in accessing healthcare. In this study, we used data from the third iteration of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to describe kidney care access and delivery to vulnerable populations across countries and regions. Using data from an international survey of clinicians, policymakers, and patient advocates, we assessed the funding and coverage of vulnerable populations on all aspects of kidney replacement therapies (KRT).

Article Synopsis
- There is increasing concern about the rise of chronic diseases in children and adolescents, paralleling trends seen in adults, despite significant progress in reducing infant and child mortality from communicable diseases.
- Chronic diseases can impact all areas of a child’s life, leading to long-term health issues and affecting families and healthcare systems.
- Patient navigators, who can be medical or non-medical personnel, are proposed as a solution to help children and their families navigate the complex healthcare systems, addressing the unique needs of young patients with chronic conditions.
Article Synopsis
- The study ranks patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for pain in osteoarthritis, focusing on their ability to distinguish effective treatments from placebos.
- Analysis included 135 trials with over 57,000 participants, standardizing treatment effects across multiple PROMs on a 0-100 scale.
- The findings suggest "pain overall" is the most sensitive PROM, outperforming others like WOMAC pain, helping guide future clinical trials and data analysis in osteoarthritis research.
Background: As seroma formation is a common donor site complication following autologous breast reconstruction, we adapted the surgical protocol by introducing progressive tension sutures (PTS). This study aimed to evaluate the influence of PTS at the donor site in autologous breast reconstruction on seroma formation. Additionally, an exploratory analysis on patient satisfaction and aesthetic outcome was performed.
