TL;DR: Predictors of placebo response in internalizing disorders of youths parallel those in adult studies, with the exception of race, and should be considered when designing placebo-controlled trials in youths to enhance findings of true drug-placebo differences.
Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study was to assess predictors of placebo response in all available short-term, placebo-controlled trials of psychotropic drugs for children and adolescents with internalizing disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD,) and anxiety disorders (ANX) exclusive of OCD and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Method: We reviewed the literature relevant to the use of psychotropic medication in children and adolescents with internalizing disorders, restricting our review to double-blind studies including a placebo arm. Placebo response, defined according to each trial's primary response outcome variable and Clinical Global Impressions–Improvement, when available, and potential predictive variables were extracted from 40 studies. Results: From 1972 to 2007, we found 23 trials that evaluated the efficacy of psychotropic medication involving youth with MDD, 7 pertaining to youths with OCD, and 10 pertaining to youths with ANX (N = 2,533 patie...

TL;DR: The CORAL study as discussed by the authors showed that renal artery stent placement was associated with significantly better event-free survival from the primary composite end point (73% versus 59% at 5 years; P = 0.02), cardiovascular disease-related death (93% versus 85%; P ≤ 0.03), and overall survival (89% versus 76%; P ≥ 0.01).
Abstract: Randomized clinical trials have not shown an additional clinical benefit of renal artery stent placement over optimal medical therapy alone. However, studies of renal artery stent placement have not examined the relationship of albuminuria and treatment group outcomes. The CORAL study (Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions) is a prospective clinical trial of 947 participants with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis randomized to optimal medical therapy with or without renal artery stent which showed no treatment differences (3(5.8% and 35.1% event rate at mean 43-month follow-up). In a post hoc analysis, the study population was stratified by the median baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio (n=826) and analyzed for the 5-year incidence of the primary end point (myocardial infarction, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, stroke, renal replacement therapy, progressive renal insufficiency, or cardiovascular disease– or kidney disease–related death), for each component of the primary end point, and overall survival. When baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio was ≤ median (22.5 mg/g, n=413), renal artery stenting was associated with significantly better event-free survival from the primary composite end point (73% versus 59% at 5 years; P =0.02), cardiovascular disease–related death (93% versus 85%; P ≤ 0.01), progressive renal insufficiency (91% versus 77%; P =0.03), and overall survival (89% versus 76%; P ≤0.01), but not when baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio was greater than median (n=413). These data suggest that low albuminuria may indicate a potentially large subgroup of those with renal artery stenosis that could experience improved event-free and overall-survival after renal artery stent placement plus optimal medical therapy compared with optimal medical therapy alone. Further research is needed to confirm these preliminary observations. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00081731.

TL;DR: PP is less effective in adults than in children as a treatment for recurrent FSGS in the renal allograft and predictors of response to PP include early initiation of treatment after recurrence and possibly an early recurrence of disease.
Abstract: Plasmapheresis (PP) is often employed in the treatment of recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) in the renal allograft, where it appears to be effective in the pediatric population. The efficacy of PP in adults and predictors of response are not well documented. We analyzed the records of 13 adult patients from three transplant centers who underwent PP for recurrent FSGS between 1993 and 1999. One patient (8%) had a complete response, one (8%) had a partial response, and 3 (23%) partially responded but remain PP-dependent. All 5 responders were started on PP within 30 days of recurrence, while 7 of the 8 non-responders initiated PP after a delay of at least 42 days (p = 0.0047). FSGS recurred within 30 days of transplantation in all 5 responders, while 4 of 8 non-responders had no evidence of recurrence until 42-150 days after transplantation (p = 0.098). Post-transplant biopsies were examined in 10 patients and revealed either cellular (6) or collapsing (4) variants of FSGS. We conclude PP is less effective in adults than in children as a treatment for recurrent FSGS in the renal allograft. Predictors of response to PP include early initiation of treatment after recurrence and possibly an early recurrence of disease.

Abstract: Thank you for downloading using multivariate statistics. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their favorite novels like this using multivariate statistics, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful bugs inside their laptop. using multivariate statistics is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly. Our books collection saves in multiple locations, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the using multivariate statistics is universally compatible with any devices to read.
