Impact of Modality Choice on Rates of Hospitalization in Patients Eligible for Both Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis
Robert R. Quinn,Pietro Ravani,Xin Zhang,Amit X. Garg,Peter G. Blake,Peter C. Austin,James Zacharias,John F. Johnson,Sanjay Pandeya,Mauro Verrelli,Matthew J. Oliver +10 more
TL;DR: Efforts to promote peritoneal dialysis utilization are unlikely to result in increased rates of hospitalization, and efforts to reduce hospital admissions should focus on potentially avoidable causes of cardiovascular disease and infectious complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homoarginine and mortality in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.
Pietro Ravani,Renke Maas,Fabio Malberti,Paola Pecchini,Maren Mieth,Robert R. Quinn,Giovanni Tripepi,Francesca Mallamaci,Carmine Zoccali +8 more
TL;DR: Homoarginine declines with advancing renal disease and is inversely related to progression to dialysis and mortality, and the nature of the link between homoarg inine and clinical outcomes is amenable to testing in clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of Treatment with Mastectomy, Use of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy and Upstaging to Invasive Cancer in Patients Diagnosed with Breast Ductal Carcinoma In situ (DCIS) on Core Biopsy
Laura Chin-Lenn,Lloyd A. Mack,Walley J. Temple,William Cherniak,Robert R. Quinn,Pietro Ravani,Adriane M. Lewin,May Lynn Quan +7 more
TL;DR: Despite a 23 % upstaging rate, the rate of clinically significant positive SLNs in patients treated with BCS is low, supporting omission of upfront SLNB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potentially Preventable Hospitalization among Patients with CKD and High Inpatient Use.
Paul E. Ronksley,Brenda R. Hemmelgarn,Braden J. Manns,James Wick,Matthew T. James,Pietro Ravani,Robert R. Quinn,Nairne Scott-Douglas,Richard Lewanczuk,Richard Lewanczuk,Marcello Tonelli +10 more
TL;DR: Many hospitalizations among patients with CKD and high inpatient use are ambulatory care sensitive condition related, suggesting opportunities to improve outcomes and reduce cost by focusing on better community-based care for this population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) 2012 clinical practice guideline for the management of blood pressure (BP) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) provides the structural and evidence base for the CSN commentary on this guideline's relevancy and application to the Canadian health care system.
