Screening of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults: A 10 years' Experience in North Indian City on World Kidney Day.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disease that is asymptomatic in its early stages. Its delayed recognition may predispose patients to adverse outcomes. Early detection and management of kidney disease through screening programs is widely recommended.

Prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease in overweight and obese population in a tertiary care hospital in North India.

Obesity has already been a global epidemic, and its prevalence has been projected to grow by 40% in the next decade. Its increasing prevalence has implications on the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which, in turn, could impact the health system and thereby the society in an adverse manner. Lack of community-based screening programs can lead to missed or late detection of CKD.

Chronic Kidney Disease among Middle-Aged and Elderly Population: A cross-sectional screening in a Hospital Camp in Varanasi, India.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is no longer considered just a health burden, but a major health priority owing to its high treatment costs and poor outcome. The lack of community-based screening programs has led to the detection of CKD patients at advanced stages. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of CKD and patterns of known risk factors among the general population (middle-aged and elderly) attending a screening camp in a community-based setting.

A weighted angiographic scoring model (W-CTO score) to predict success of antegrade wire crossing in chronic total occlusion: analysis from a single centre.

Aims: The aim of this study was to derive a weighted score model predicting success/failure of antegrade wire crossing in chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods And Results: Four hundred and four consecutive CTO cases (408 lesions) undergoing CTO-PCI between January 2009 and March 2015 were included. Data were divided into two sets, namely "derivation" and "validation", in a 70:30 ratio.
