Acute #Kidney Injury Among Older Patients Undergoing Coronary #Angiography for Acute Myocardial Infarction: The SILVER-AMI Study

..Comorbid diseases and aging-related conditions were both more common among individuals experiencing acute kidney injury. However, after multivariable adjustment, no aging-related conditions were retained. There were 11 risk factors in the final model; the strongest were heart failure on presentation (odds ratio [OR] 1.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-2.59), body mass index [BMI] >30 (vs BMI 18-25: OR 1.75; 95% CI, 1.27-2.42), and nonwhite race … Continue reading Acute #Kidney Injury Among Older Patients Undergoing Coronary #Angiography for Acute Myocardial Infarction: The SILVER-AMI Study

Retrospective cohort study of individuals born with low #birthweight: implications for screening practices

Previous studies have established an association between low birthweight (LBW) and future kidney disease, but few have explored the progression of kidney dysfunction through the pediatric years leading up through adolescence and young adulthood ..glomerular filtration rate (#GFR) between LBW (<2500 grams) and normal birthweight (NBW) Age at follow-up ranged 1–26 years old. GFR was found to be significantly lower in participants born with LBW … Continue reading Retrospective cohort study of individuals born with low #birthweight: implications for screening practices

Associations of #Opioid Prescriptions with Death and Hospitalization across the Spectrum of Estimated #GFR

People receiving their first opioid prescription were propensity matched to people receiving NSAIDS (and, in sensitivity analysis, gabapentinoids) and the risk of death and hospitalization were compared, classifying opioid medication exposure as time-varying daily oral morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) across time-varying eGFR. Prescriptions for 1–59 and ≥60 MMEs were associated with higher risk of death .. and hospitalization.. compared with NSAID prescriptions, when evaluated at … Continue reading Associations of #Opioid Prescriptions with Death and Hospitalization across the Spectrum of Estimated #GFR

Healthy Dietary Patterns and Incidence of CKD. A Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies

Healthy dietary patterns typically encouraged higher intakes of vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts, whole grains, fish and low-fat dairy, and lower intakes of red and processed meats, sodium, and sugar-sweetened beverages. A healthy dietary pattern was associated with a lower incidence of CKD (odds ratio [OR] 0.70 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.60 to 0.82); I2=51%; eight studies), and incidence of albuminuria (OR 0.77, [95% CI, … Continue reading Healthy Dietary Patterns and Incidence of CKD.
