TL;DR: In patients with CKD not referred to nephrology, risks of ESRD and mortality were higher in those with CKd stages 3b-5, whereas hypertension only predicted mortality.

TL;DR: This study aimed to assess the incidence rate and determinants of IDA in four European countries and found that iron deficiency anaemia is a global public health concern, being responsible for about 800 000 deaths per year worldwide.

TL;DR: The authors gathered data that showed a large area of intervention in managing the prevention of PrUs, such as an adequate use of protective aids, correcting malnutrition, and controlling incontinence, which suggest that clinicians should focus more on the preventionof PrUs in older adults.

TL;DR: The findings support the recommendation for MF59-TIV in the elderly population and seem to reduce the risk of hospitalizations for pneumonia and cerebro/cardiovascular events when compared with nonadjuvanted TIV.

TL;DR: Physicians should encourage women of childbearing age to adhere to dietary recommendations regarding iron intake and regularly prescribe screening of iron status and Upper and lower gastrointestinal investigations should be recommended for patients with a confirmed diagnosis of IDA.
