Project description:Compare ICU outcomes and respiratory system mechanics in patients with and without acute kidney injury during invasive mechanical ventilation.DesignsRetrospective cohort study.SettingsICUs of the University of California, San Diego, from January 1, 2014, to November 30, 2016.PatientsFive groups of patients were compared based on the need for invasive mechanical ventilation, presence or absence of acute kidney injury per the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria, and the temporal relationship between the development of acute kidney injury and initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsA total of 9,704 patients were included and 4,484 (46%) required invasive mechanical ventilation; 2,009 patients (45%) had acute kidney injury while being treated with invasive mechanical ventilation, and the mortality rate for these patients was 22.4% compared with 5% in those treated with invasive mechanical ventilation without acute kidney injury (p < 0.01). Adjusted hazard of mortality accounting for baseline disease severity was 1.58 (95% CI, 1.22-2.03; p < 0.001]. Patients with acute kidney injury during invasive mechanical ventilation had a significant increase in total ventilator days and length of ICU stay with the same comparison (both p < 0.01). Acute kidney injury during mechanical ventilation was also associated with significantly higher plateau pressures, lower respiratory system compliance, and higher driving pressures (all p < 0.01). These differences remained significant in patients with net negative cumulative fluid balance.ConclusionsAcute kidney injury during invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with increased ICU mortality, increased ventilator days, increased length of ICU stay, and impaired respiratory system mechanics. These results emphasize the need for investigations of ventilatory strategies in the setting of acute kidney injury, as well as mechanistic studies of crosstalk between the lung and kidney in the critically ill.

Project description:Background Activated cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) recognize the auto-antigens presented on hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) through class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules and play an important role in the immune pathogenesis of aplastic anemia (AA). Previous reports demonstrated that HLA was related to the disease susceptibility and response to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in AA patients. Recent studies have indicated that specific HLA allele deletions, which helped AA patients to evade CTL-driven autoimmune responses and escape from immune surveillance, may lead to high-risk clonal evolution. Therefore, HLA genotyping has a particular predictive value for the response to IST and the risk of clonal evolution. However, there are limited studies on this topic in the Chinese population. Methods To explore the value of HLA genotyping in Chinese patients with AA, 95 AA patients treated with IST were retrospectively investigated. Results The alleles HLA-B*15:18 and HLA-C*04:01 were associated with a superior long-term response to IST (P = 0.025; P = 0.027, respectively), while the allele HLA-B*40:01 indicated an inferior result (P = 0.02). The allele HLA-A*01:01 and HLA-B*54:01 were associated with high-risk clonal evolution (P = 0.032; P = 0.01, respectively), and the former had a higher frequency in very severe AA (VSAA) patients than that in severe AA (SAA) patients (12.7% vs 0%, P = 0.02). The HLA-DQ*03:03 and HLA-DR*09:01 alleles were associated with high-risk clonal evolution and poor long-term survival in patients aged ≥40 years. Such patients may be recommended for early allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation rather than the routine IST treatment. Conclusion HLA genotype has crucial value in predicting the outcome of IST and long-term survival in AA patients, and thus may assist an individualized treatment strategy.

Project description:Anemia is commonly seen in preterm infants. It may reduce the capacity of hemoglobin to transport oxygen throughout the body and may result in tissue and organ dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of anemia on the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. 243 infants who were admitted to BaYi Children's Hospital Affiliated to Clinical Medical College in Beijing Military General Hospital with gestational age (GA) less than 32 weeks from February, 2014 to February, 2015 were included in the study. Maternal and infant data were recorded. Multivarariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between anemia and BPD. Of 243 preterm infants, the incidence of anemia was higher in BPD patients than non-BPD patients (p < 0.001). Mean Hct in BPD patients was lower than non-BPD patients at different time points in 1d, 7d, 14d, and 21d. Controlling for other confounding factors, early anemia was associated with an increased risk of BPD. Number of transfusions is also a significant risk factor for BPD (p = 0.001). Therefore, prevention and treatment of early anemia is necessary and reducing number of transfusions may reduce the incidence of BPD in preterm infants.

Project description:BackgroundImpact of in-ICU transfusion on long-term outcomes remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess in critical-care survivors the association between in-ICU red blood cells transfusion and 1-year mortality.MethodsFROG-ICU, a multicenter European study enrolling all-comers critical care patients was analyzed (n = 1551). Association between red blood cells transfusion administered in intensive care unit and 1-year mortality in critical care survivors was analyzed using an augmented inverse probability of treatment weighting-augmented inverse probability of censoring weighting method to control confounders.ResultsAmong the 1551 ICU-survivors, 42% received at least one unit of red blood cells while in intensive care unit. Patients in the transfusion group had greater severity scores than those in the no-transfusion group. According to unweighted analysis, 1-year post-critical care mortality was greater in the transfusion group compared to the no-transfusion group (hazard ratio (HR) 1.78, 95% CI 1.45-2.16). Weighted analyses including 40 confounders, showed that transfusion remained associated with a higher risk of long-term mortality (HR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.46).ConclusionsOur results suggest a high incidence of in-ICU RBC transfusion and that in-ICU transfusion is associated with a higher 1-year mortality among in-ICU survivors.

Project description:Obesity-related nephropathy is associated with renal function progression. However, some studies have associated a high body mass index (BMI) with improved renal outcomes-this is referred to as the obesity paradox for renal outcomes, especially in relation to advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Central obesity can explain the obesity paradox in all-cause mortality. However, whether obesity or central obesity is associated with renal outcomes (renal replacement therapy or a 50% decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate) in patients with advanced CKD remains unclear. Our study included 3605 Asian patients with CKD stages 1-5 divided into six groups according to their BMI (between 15 and 35 kg/m2). Through linear regression, BMI was positively associated with hemoglobin and albumin at CKD stages 4 and 5. In the competing risk Cox regression model, a high BMI (27.5-35 kg/m2) was associated with renal outcomes at CKD stages 1-3, but not stages 4 and 5. A high BMI was associated with renal outcomes in patients with hemoglobin ≥11 g/dL, but not <11 g/dL. A high waist-to-hip ratio was not associated with renal outcomes. We conclude that the CKD stage and anemia may explain the obesity paradox in renal outcomes in patients with CKD.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess multiple Hb-based measures of anemia in hospitalized patients and test whether these are associated with fatigue.DesignProspective observational study.SettingUrban, academic medical center.PatientsHospitalized general medicine patients, age =50 years, with any Hb < 9 g/dL.MeasurementsMeasures of anemia were created for each patient based on the Hb values from their hospitalization (mean, median, minimum, maximum, admission, and discharge). Fatigue was measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue subscale.ResultsSeven hundred eighty-four patients participated. Minimum Hb was strongly associated with fatigue. Patients with a minimum Hb of < 8 g/dL had higher fatigue levels (mean FACIT [standard deviation] Hb < 7 g/dL: 25 [13], 7 g/ dL = Hb <8 g/dL: 25 [14] Hb =8 g/dL: 29 [14], P = 0.001) and were more likely to report high levels of fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue < 27) (56% vs 41%; P = 0.002). Mean Hb had a less robust association with fatigue than minimum Hb, and no other measure of Hb was associated with patients' fatigue levels.ConclusionsMinimum Hb is associated with fatigue while hospitalized and may help identify patients for interventions to address anemia-related fatigue.

Project description:In school age children and adolescents, anemia might cause lower cognitive function and attention span, which in turn could diminish human capital accumulation. As children born in low-income households are more likely to be anemic, this may prevent many individuals from overcoming the intergenerational poverty traps. In this paper, we used data from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 and focused on a sample of adolescents between 12 and 19 years of age to study the relationship between attending school without delay-our proxy for school performance-and anemia. We found a statistically significant association between the two variables. If this relationship is causal, the economic burden linked to the loss of school years could well exceed the costs associated with programs aimed at reducing the prevalence of anemia in vulnerable populations. Our results provide additional support to the existing literature on anemia as a significant barrier to school achievement.

Project description:Background: Human parvovirus B19 (B19V) can cause anemia in some patients, including those with compromised immunity system. There are a few studies on molecular epidemiology of B19V and its association with anemia in Iran. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the B19V DNA, IgM, IgG, genotyping, and viral load in HIV patients in different groups of pregnant women, general population, injection drug users (IDU), and Elite controllers. Also, the possible association of B19V with anemia was studied. Methods: In this case-control study, B19V DNA, anti-B19V IgM, anti-B19V IgG, viral load, and hemoglobin level were assessed in 113 HIV positive patients and 72 healthy controls. Also, CD4+ T cell counts and HIV load were measured in the patients' group. All statistical analyses were done using STATA 14.2 software (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, USA). P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among HIV patients, 19 (16.8%) cases had B19V DNA, 3 (2.7%) had B19V IgM, and 7 (6.2%) had B19V IgG. In control group, the prevalence of B19V DNA, IgM, and IgG was 6 (8.33%), 7(9.7%), and 19 (26.4%), respectively. In subpopulations based on transmission routes, general population had the highest B19V IgG and DNA positivity prevalence and viral load level. There was no significant association between B19V antibodies and DNA with anemia. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that B19V infection cannot be considered as a high-risk factor for anemia in adult HIV patients. However, further studies are needed to determine the exact role of B19V infection in HIV patients.

Project description:BackgroundThe higher prevalence of anemia in females and elderly may be attributed to its association with worsened outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We aimed to evaluate the precise effects of age and gender on the association between anemia and 30-day outcomes.MethodWe identified 4350 STEMI patients and divided into anemia and non-anemia. Effects were analyzed as categories using Cox proportional-hazards regression and as continuous using restricted cubic splines. Propensity score matching (PSM) and mediation analysis were applied to identify intermediate effects.ResultsAnemic patients were older, more likely to be female, and experienced doubled all-cause death (7.3 % versus 15.0 %), main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE, 11.1 % versus 20.2 %), heart failure (HF, 5.1 % versus 8.6 %), and bleeding events (2.7 % versus 5.4 %). After adjustment, the association between anemia and all-cause death (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.15, 95 % confidence interval (95 %CI) 0.93-1.14), MACCE (HR 1.14, 95 %CI 0.95-1.36) and HF (HR 1.19, 95 %CI 0.92-1.55) were insignificant, the effects persisted nullified across age classes (P-interaction > 0.05) and PSM (P > 0.05). Ulteriorly, age mediated 77.6 %, 66.2 %, 48.0 %, gender mediated 38.1 %, 15.0 %, 3.2 %, age and gender together mediated 99.8 % 72.9 %, 48.1 % of the relationship. Anemia was independently associated with bleeding events (HR 2.02, 95 %CI 1.42-2.88), the effects consisted significant regardless of PSM (P < 0.05), age, and gender classes (P-interaction > 0.05), and no mediating role of age and gender were observed.ConclusionsIn STEMI patients, age and gender largely mediated the relationship between anemia and all-cause death, MACCE, and HF, anemia was independently associated with bleeding complications.
