Hypertension after kidney donation: Incidence, predictors, and correlates.

Incidence of postdonation hypertension, risk factors associated with its development, and impact of type of treatment received on renal outcomes were determined in 3700 kidney donors. Using Cox proportional hazard model, adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for cardiovascular disease (CVD); estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60, <45, <30 mL/min/1.73m ; end stage renal disease (ESRD); and death in hypertensive donors were determined.

Pediatric malignant salivary gland tumors: 60 year follow up.

Objective: To evaluate the presentation, treatments and outcomes in pediatric patients with salivary gland malignancies.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review (1950-2012), Prospective phone interview.

Methods: Patients ≤18 years old with a salivary gland malignancy treated at our institution were identified.

Supraglottoplasty outcomes in children with Down syndrome.

Objective: Children with Down syndrome have a higher incidence of upper airway obstruction and laryngomalacia. We sought to determine outcomes of supraglottoplasty in this patient population.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed from January 2000 through January 2014.
