ObjectiveTo examine the association between continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) liberation and clinical outcomes among patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring CRRT.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study included adult patients admitted to intensive care units with AKI and treated with CRRT from January 1, 2007, to May 4, 2018. Based on the survival and renal replacement therapy (RRT) status at 72 hours after the first CRRT liberation, we classified patients into liberated, reinstituted, and those who died. We observed patients for 90 days after CRRT initiation to compare the major adverse kidney events (MAKE90).ResultsOf 1135 patients with AKI, 228 (20%), 437 (39%), and 470 (41%) were assigned to liberated, reinstituted, and nonsurvival groups, respectively. The MAKE90, mortality, and RRT independence rates of the cohort were 62% (707 cases), 59% (674 cases), and 40% (453 cases), respectively. Compared with reinstituted patients, the liberated group had a lower MAKE90 (29% vs 39%; P=.009) and higher RRT independence rate (73% vs 65%; P=.04) on day 90, but without significant difference in 90-day mortality (26% vs 33%; P=.05). After adjustments for confounders, successful CRRT liberation was not associated with lower MAKE90 (odds ratio, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.48 to 1.04; P=.08) but was independently associated with improved kidney recovery at 90-day follow-up (hazard ratio, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.41 to 2.32; P<.001).ConclusionOur study demonstrated a high occurrence of CRRT liberation failure and poor 90-day outcomes in a cohort of AKI patients treated with CRRT. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo evaluate the utility of diagnostic studies in identifying treatable etiologies of trigeminal neuropathy (TNP).Patients and MethodsWe performed a review of consecutive patients with nontraumatic, noniatrogenic TNP seen at Mayo Clinic between January 1, 2000, and August 31, 2019. Patients were excluded if they had trigeminal neuralgia without neuropathy or if their diagnostic work-up had been completed elsewhere. Data were analyzed to determine which diagnostic studies were most useful in identifying treatable etiologies.ResultsIn total, 439 patients were included. The mean ± SD age was 56.3±13.6 years and 285 (64.9%) were female. Among the 180 cases in which an etiology was identified (41.0%), neoplasms were causative in 76 (42.2%), while specific connective tissue diseases were implicated in 71 (39.4%). Bilateral TNP (n=83) was associated with the presence of underlying connective tissue disease (P<.01). Identification of etiology was made by magnetic resonance imaging in 88 cases (48.8%), by abnormal connective tissue disease cascades combined with rheumatology consultation in 42 (23.3%), by a previously known connective tissue disorder in 30 (16.7%), and by abnormal connective tissue disease cascades alone in 8 (4.4%). Among the 439 study patients, electromyography was performed in 211 (48.1%) and lumbar puncture in 139 (31.7%), but their diagnostic utility was low.ConclusionUnderlying causes of nontraumatic, noniatrogenic TNP can be identified in approximately 40% of cases. Bilateral TNP is strongly associated with underlying connective tissue disease. Careful history taking, dedicated magnetic resonance imaging, and connective tissue panels have the greatest diagnostic utility. Electromyography and cerebrospinal fluid analysis are unlikely to elucidate treatable etiologies of TNP. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo develop a measure of global functioning after moderate-severe TBI with similar measurement precision but a longer measurement range than the FIM.DesignPhase 1: retrospective analysis of 5 data sets containing FIM, Disability Rating Scale, and other assessment items to identify candidate items for extending the measurement range of the FIM; Phase 2: prospective administration of 49 candidate items from phase 1, with Rasch analysis to identify a unidimensional scale with an extended range.SettingSix TBI Model System rehabilitation hospitals.ParticipantsIndividuals (N=184) with moderate-severe injury recruited during inpatient rehabilitation or at 1-year telephone follow-up.InterventionsParticipants were administered the 49 assessment items in person or via telephone.Main Outcome MeasuresItem response theory parameters: item monotonicity, infit/outfit statistics, and Factor 1 variance.ResultsAfter collapsing misordered rating categories and removing misfitting items, we derived the Brain Injury Functional Outcome Measure (BI-FOM), a 31-item assessment instrument with high reliability, greatly extended measurement range, and improved unidimensionality compared with the FIM.ConclusionsThe BI-FOM improves global measurement of function after moderate-severe brain injury. Its high precision, relative lack of floor and ceiling effects, and feasibility for telephone follow-up, if replicated in an independent sample, are substantial advantages. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess whether loop diuretic challenge predicts the need for dialysis among critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) stage 3.Patients and MethodsAdult patients admitted to intensive care units between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2016, were screened. Acute kidney injury stage 3 was identified by an electronic surveillance tool, and patients who received loop diuretics in a dosage of at least 1mg/kg intravenous bolus furosemide equivalent were included. Urine output following loop diuretic challenge was modeled as a restricted cubic spline. We then compared the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for urine outputs at 2 hours and 6 hours after loop diuretic challenge to predict the need for dialysis within the next 24 hours.ResultsOf 687 patients included in the study, those who received dialysis were younger and had higher Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores on the day of loop diuretic challenge. Urine outputs at 2 hours and 6 hours were lower in patients who needed dialysis, but urine output by 6 hours was better in predicting dialysis initiation within 24 hours (area under the curve, 0.71 vs 0.67; P=.02). The sensitivity and specificity of 6-hour urine output cutoff of 600 mL or less to predict dialysis was 80.9% and 50.5%, respectively, and that for 300 mL or less was 64.2% and 68.2%, respectively.ConclusionAmong patients with stage 3 AKI, 6-hour urine output after the loop diuretic challenge had a modest discriminant capacity to identify dialysis initiation within the next 24 hours. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo examine the predictive ability of depression when considering long-term employment outcomes for individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) after controlling for key preinjury and injury-related variables.DesignSecondary data analysis.SettingCommunity follow-up after discharge from an inpatient rehabilitation center.ParticipantsIndividuals between 18 and 60 years old with moderate-to-severe TBI enrolled in the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems database.InterventionsNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasuresEmployment status.ResultsThe prevalence of employment at 2 and 5 years post injury was 40.3% and 44.5%, respectively. Individuals identified as depressed at 1 year were more likely to be unemployed at 2 years post injury (odds ratio [OR], 1.77; 95% CI, 1.38-2.27; P<.0001). Similar relations between current depression and future employment were observed from 1- and 2-year depression status predicting 5-year employment (1-year: OR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.48-2.40; P<.0001: 2-year: OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.36-2.17; P<.0001).ConclusionsAfter controlling for baseline predictors variables, the experience of postinjury depression—a modifiable condition—contributes predictive ability to future employment outcomes. Incorporating assessments and/or interventions for depression into postacute rehabilitation programs could promote favorable employment outcomes after TBI. 相似文献

The negative health consequences of acute ultraviolet (UV) exposure are evident, with reports of 30,000 emergency room visits annually to treat the effects of sunburn in the United States alone. The acute effects of sunburn include erythema, edema, severe pain, and chronic overexposure to UV radiation, leading to skin cancer. Whereas the pain associated with the acute effects of sunburn may be relieved by current interventions, existing post-sunburn treatments are not capable of reversing the cumulative and long-term pathological effects of UV exposure, an unmet clinical need. Here we show that activation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway is a direct and immediate consequence of acute UV exposure, and activation of VEGF signaling is necessary for initiating the acute pathological effects of sunburn. In UV-exposed human subjects, VEGF signaling is activated within hours. Topical delivery of VEGF pathway inhibitors, targeted against the ligand VEGF-A (gold nanoparticles conjugated with anti-VEGF antibodies) and small-molecule antagonists of VEGF receptor signaling, prevent the development of erythema and edema in UV-exposed mice. These findings collectively suggest targeting VEGF signaling may reduce the subsequent inflammation and pathology associated with UV-induced skin damage, revealing a new postexposure therapeutic window to potentially inhibit the known detrimental effects of UV on human skin. It is essential to emphasize that these preclinical studies must not be construed as suggesting in any way the use of VEGF inhibitors as a sunburn treatment in humans because warranted future clinical studies and appropriate agency approval are essential in that regard. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine whether microstructural features on a kidney biopsy specimen obtained during kidney transplant surgery predict long-term risk of chronic kidney disease in the donor.Patients and MethodsWe studied kidney donors from May 1, 1999, through December 31, 2018, with a follow-up survey for the results of recent blood pressure and kidney function tests (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and proteinuria). If not recently available, blood pressure and eGFRs were requested from a local clinic. Microstructural features on kidney biopsy at the time of donation were assessed as predictors of hypertension and kidney function after adjusting for years of follow-up, baseline age, sex, and clinical predictors.ResultsThere were 807 donors surveyed a mean 10.5 years after donation. An eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 6.4% (43/673) of donors was predicted by larger glomerular volume per standard deviation (odds ratio [OR], 1.48; 95% CI, 1.08 to 2.04) and nephron number below the age-specific 5th percentile (OR, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.31 to 8.72). An eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 42.5% (286/673) of donors was not predicted by any microstructural feature. Residual eGFR (postdonation/predonation eGFR) was predicted by nephron number below the age-specific 5th percentile (difference, ?6.07%; 95% CI, ?10.24% to ?1.89%). Self-reported proteinuria in 5.1% (40/786) of donors was predicted by larger glomerular volume (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.86). Incident hypertension in 18.8% (119/633) of donors was not predicted by any microstructural features.ConclusionLow nephron number for age and larger glomeruli are important microstructural predictors for long-term risk of chronic kidney disease after living kidney donation. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the interrelationship between body mass index (BMI), mode of stress testing (exercise or pharmacological), exercise capacity, and all-cause mortality in patients referred for stress-rest single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging.Patients and MethodsWe evaluated all-cause mortality in 21,638 patients undergoing stress-rest single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging between January 2, 1991, and December 31, 2012. Patients were divided into exercise and pharmacologically tested groups and 9 BMI categories. The median follow-up was 12.8 years (range, 5.0-26.8 years).ResultsIn exercise patients, mortality was increased with both low and high BMI vs patients with a normal referent BMI of 22.5 to 24.9 kg/m2. In pharmacologically tested patients, only low BMI, but not high BMI, was associated with increased mortality vs normal BMI. When exercise and pharmacologically tested groups were compared directly, pharmacologically tested patients manifested a marked increase in mortality risk vs exercise patients within each BMI category, ranging from an approximately 4-fold increase in mortality in those with normal or high BMI to a 12.3-fold increase in those with low BMI values. Similar findings were observed in a cohort of 4804 exercise and 4804 pharmacologically tested patients matched to have similar age and coronary artery disease risk factor profiles. In exercise patients, further risk stratification was achieved when considering both BMI and metabolic equivalent tasks of achieved exercise.ConclusionThe combined assessment of BMI and exercise ability and capacity provides synergistic and marked risk stratification of future mortality risk in patients referred for radionuclide stress testing, providing considerable insights into the “obesity paradox” that is observed in populations referred for stress testing. 相似文献

BackgroundAcute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common diseases faced by the surgeon in the emergency department. In clinical practice, how to diagnose patients with AA accurately is still challenging.MethodsWe conducted a prospective study of 84 patients who presented in the emergency department with suspected AA and measured fecal calprotectin (FC) value. The final diagnosis of AA was independently determined without reference to the test results of FC. Then, we retrospectively analyzed the FC value for identifying AA.ResultsFC value in patients with AA were significantly higher than that in patients without AA (240.5 vs. 68.5 ug/g, P < 0.001). Receiver-operating characteristic analyses demonstrated FC value to be highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of AA, as indicated by an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.928 (500 times of boot strap estimated 95% CI, 0.855–0.972), with an optimal cut off point of 106 ug/g. FC levels in 26 patients with simple AA were significantly lower than it in the 14 patients with suppurative AA (206 vs. 304ug/g, P = 0.001).ConclusionsFC test provides a sensitive, convenient and economical method to help facilitate the diagnosis of AA in emergency department. Especially for hospitals without computed tomography equipment or patients who are not suitable to exposed to radiation, FC test is of great significance for improving the diagnostic accuracy of AA. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo determine the alterations in cardiac structure and function that occur in the months after spinal cord injury (SCI).Study DesignCross-sectionalSettingRehabilitation HospitalParticipantsVolunteers (N=29; 4 women, 25 men) between 3 and 24 months after SCI.Main Outcome MeasuresTransthoracic echocardiography was performed on each volunteer. The relationships between time since injury and neurologic and sensory levels of injury to cardiac structure and function were assessed via multiple linear regression.ResultsTime since injury was most strongly associated with reductions in left ventricular end diastolic volume (r2=0.156; P=.034), end systolic volume (r2=0.141; P=.045), and mass (r2=0.138; P=.047). These structural changes were paralleled by reduced stroke volume (r2=0.143; P=.043) and cardiac output (r2=0.317; P=<.001). The reductions in left ventricular structure and systolic function were not differentially affected by neurologic or sensory levels of injury (P=.084-.921).ConclusionsThese results suggest progressive reductions in left ventricular structure and systolic function between 3 and 24 months after SCI that occur independent of neurologic and sensory levels of injury. 相似文献

Before the development of robotic exoskeletons, mobility options beyond a wheelchair were very limited for most people lacking leg movement due to spinal cord injury (SCI). Over the years, robotic exoskeletons have become more widely available and now have the potential to be successfully used for personal use at home and in the community. However, it is important that users set realistic expectations. The features and capabilities of each robotic exoskeleton differ, and how exoskeletons are used may vary greatly between individuals. Robotic exoskeletons can allow individuals with SCI with varying levels of injury to safely and functionally walk for personal mobility or exercise. The following special communication will discuss important considerations surrounding exoskeleton use including feasibility, safety, cost, speed, and potential health benefits of using an exoskeleton for everyday life for people with SCI. 相似文献
