Comparison of Sleep/Wake Behavior in CKD Stages 4 to 5 and Hemodialysis Populations Using Wrist Actigraphy
TL;DR: Both patients with CKD stages 4 to 5 and HD patients have short and fragmented sleep, and an early-morning HD shift was associated with shorter total sleep times (TST) and greater variation in nightly TST.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal nocturnal heart rate variability response among chronic kidney disease and dialysis patients during wakefulness and sleep
Maria-Eleni Roumelioti,Reena Ranpuria,Martica H. Hall,John R. Hotchkiss,Christopher T. Chan,Mark Unruh,Christos Argyropoulos +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that high-frequency HRV (vagal tone) will be attenuated from wakefulness to non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in dialysis patients as compared to patients with CKD, and different patient characteristics are associated with changes in HRV at different sleep stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fragmented Care is Prevalent Among Inflammatory Bowel Disease Readmissions and is Associated With Worse Outcomes.
Shirley Cohen-Mekelburg,Russell Rosenblatt,Stephanie Gold,Nicole T. Shen,Brett E. Fortune,Akbar K. Waljee,Sameer D. Saini,Ellen Scherl,Robert Burakoff,Mark Unruh +9 more
TL;DR: Over one in four IBD inpatient readmissions are fragmented, and additional efforts targeting fragmentation should be made to better coordinate IBD management, reduce healthcare gaps, and promote high-value care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep apnea and dialysis therapies: things that go bump in the night?
TL;DR: Nocturnal dialysis modalities may provide tools to increase the understanding of the uremic sleep apnea and may also provide therapeutic alternatives for end‐stage renal disease patients with severeSleep apnea is an important, but overlooked public health problem for the dialysis population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of health-related quality of life in the care of patients with ESRD: isn't this the metric that matters?
TL;DR: How carefully constructed questionnaires with equivalent reliability as long annual surveys, such as KDQOL, can be more quickly completed by using novel technology, which can be transmitted from the patient to the clinician and back to the bedside in minutes rather than in weeks is detailed.
