Objective: Aim: To identify patients at risk of AKI with severe COVID-19 and to guide management strategies according to national and global scientific data for improving kidney-related outcomes.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: We conducted retrospective study case-control analysing cases of hospitalisation patients with COVID-19 with or without AKI during hospital stay.
Results: Results: In the study, we found that there was a positive correlation between AKI and respiratory insufficiency (0,513 - moderate, p<0,0001), moderate in the case of AKI grade 2 (0.301, <0,001) and mild in the case of AKI grade 1 and 3 correspondingly (0.252, p<0,01; 0.277, <0,001). Lethality (in-hospital death rate) correlated with respiratory insufficiency and AKI (0.733, 0,617; p<0,0001). We found that age had a reverse correlation with AKI and RI (younger patients were more likely to have a higher prevalence of AKI and RI, p<0,001). It was noticed that AKI correlated with the minimal albumin level (-0,35, p=0,016), minimal lymphocyte count (-0.377, p<0,0001), IL-6 (0.201, p=0,035), ferritin (0.34, p <0,0001), maximal CRP (0.439, p<0,0001). There was a mild correlation between Padua Score and AKI (0,232, p<0,01) and PLRI (0,172, p=0,05).
Conclusion: Conclusions: Early assessment of renal dysfunction could be used as a marker of severe outcomes of COVID-19, especially in the case of comorbidities such as metabolic disorders and cardiovascular events. We suggest using the Padua score, assessment of personal lethality risk index (PLRI), and rise of serum creatinine as additional tools for assessment criteria for hospitalisation.

Using Community Engagement to Create a Telecoaching Intervention to Improve Self-Management in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis: Qualitative Study.
J Particip Med
January 2025
Division of Allergy & Pulmonary Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, United States.
Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.
Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).
Transition to Adult Care in Turner Syndrome: Research Gaps and Strategies for Achieving Success.
Am J Med Genet C Semin Med Genet

Health care transition is a process by which children with chronic medical conditions gradually and purposefully move from pediatric to adult-centered health care systems. While transition guidelines have been published by multiple national and international organizations, transition processes have not been optimized for many populations, including youth with Turner syndrome (TS). Numerous barriers exist, at both the system and individual/family level.

This editorial highlights a recently published study examining the effectiveness of music therapy combined with motivational interviewing (MI) in addressing anxiety and depression among young and middle-aged patients following percutaneous coronary intervention. It further explores existing evidence and potential future research directions for MI in postoperative rehabilitation and chronic disease management. MI aims to facilitate behavioral change and promote healthier lifestyles by fostering a trusting relationship with patients and enhancing intrinsic motivation.
