Journal ArticleDOI
Non-invasive endothelial function testing and the risk of adverse outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Yang Xu,Rakesh C. Arora,Brett Hiebert,Blake Lerner,Andrea Szwajcer,Kerry McDonald,Claudio Rigatto,Paul Komenda,Manish M. Sood,Navdeep Tangri +9 more
TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to determine whether brachial FMD and peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) are independent risk factors for future cardiovascular events and mortality as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Erythropoietin-Stimulating Agents on Health-Related Quality of Life in Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
David Collister,Paul Komenda,Brett Hiebert,Ravindi Gunasekara,Yang Xu,Frederick Eng,Blake Lerner,Kerry Macdonald,Claudio Rigatto,Navdeep Tangri +9 more
TL;DR: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of achieving higher hemoglobin targets with ESAs on HRQOL in patients with CKD and those undergoing dialysis is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Diagnostic Accuracy of Tests for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Hemodialysis Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Thomas W. Ferguson,Navdeep Tangri,Kerry Macdonald,Brett Hiebert,Claudio Rigatto,Manish M. Sood,Souradet Y. Shaw,Blake Lerner,Yang Xu,Salaheddin Mahmud,Paul Komenda +10 more
TL;DR: The QFT-G and the T-SPOT.TB tests were more sensitive than the TST for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection in patients on hemodialysis while offering a comparable level of specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of time on dialysis and renal transplantation on endothelial function: a longitudinal analysis.
Joe Bueti,David N. Rush,Navdeep Tangri,Keren Mandelzweig,Yang Xu,Brett Hiebert,Manish M. Sood,Paul Komenda,Peter Nickerson,Claudio Rigatto +9 more
TL;DR: Endothelial injury worsens over time on dialysis but improves significantly after renal transplantation, and smoking and heart failure were associated with higher sVCAM-1 levels, whereas transplantation was associated with lower sVCam-1 Levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cost Effectiveness of Erythropoietin-Stimulating Agents for Treating Anemia in Patients on Dialysis: A Systematic Review
Thomas W. Ferguson,Yang Xu,Ravindi Gunasekara,Blake Lerner,Kerry Macdonald,Claudio Rigatto,Navdeep Tangri,Paul Komenda +7 more
TL;DR: There is substantial variability in the estimates of the cost-effectiveness of using ESAs in the dialysis population, and new models incorporating recent meta-analyses for estimates of utility, mortality, and hospitalization changes would allow for a more comprehensive answer to this question.
