Rachel Jeong,Krista L. Lentine,Robert R. Quinn,Pietro Ravani,Natasha Wiebe,Sara N. Davison,Bryce Barr,Ngan N. Lam +7 more
TL;DR: One in 10 kidney transplant recipients are prescribed an NSAID, and most do not get follow-up testing of graft function and hyperkalemia as mentioned in this paper, despite guidelines recommending that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) be avoided in kidney transplant patients due to potential nephrotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rachel Jeong,Robert R. Quinn,Pietro Ravani,Feng Ye,Manish M. Sood,David Massicotte-Azarniouch,Marcello Tonelli,Brenda R. Hemmelgarn,Brenda R. Hemmelgarn,Ngan N. Lam +9 more
TL;DR: Among kidney transplant recipients, lower eGFR and presence of albuminuria at 1 year post-transplant were associated with an over 2-fold higher risk of hemorrhage and venous thrombosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in the Management of Patients With Kidney Failure in Alberta, Canada (2004-2013).
Christy Chong,Helen Tam-Tham,Brenda R. Hemmelgarn,Robert G. Weaver,Nairne Scott-Douglas,Marcello Tonelli,Robert R. Quinn,Liam Manns,Braden J. Manns +8 more
TL;DR: Improvement in late referrals and early dialysis initiation over time is noted and the need for quality improvement initiatives designed to address gaps in care and improve outcomes for patients with kidney failure is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Willingness to participate in a randomized trial comparing catheters to fistulas for vascular access in incident hemodialysis patients: an international survey of nephrologists.
Krishna Poinen,Matthew J. Oliver,Pietro Ravani,Sabine N. van der Veer,Kitty J. Jager,Wim Van Biesen,Kevan R. Polkinghorne,Aviva Rosenfeld,Adriane M. Lewin,Mandeep Dulai,Robert R. Quinn +10 more
TL;DR: The survey results suggest that nephrologists believe there is equipoise surrounding the optimal vascular access strategy and that a randomized controlled study should be undertaken, but restricted to those individuals with a high risk of primary fistula failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Qualitative Content Analysis of Comments on Press Articles on Deemed Consent for Organ Donation in Canada
Danielle E. Fox,Maoliosa Donald,Christy Chong,Robert R. Quinn,Paul E. Ronksley,Meghan J. Elliott,Ngan N. Lam +6 more
TL;DR: If deemed consent legislation is meant to increase organ donation and transplantation, addressing public concerns will be important to ensure successful implementation, and improving government transparency and communication, clarifying questions and addressing concerns, and providing evidence for the bills were identified as key considerations.
