TL;DR: Evidence is provided for an association between emotional/behavioral problems and subsequent onset of fatigue/chronic fatigue in 11- to 15-year-olds and for the prognosis for these conditions was good.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE.The objective of this study was to describe the incidence, prevalence, risk factors, and prognosis of fatigue, chronic fatigue, and chronic fatigue syndrome in 11- to 15-year-olds. METHODS.A random general population sample (n 842) of British adolescents and their parents were assessed at baseline and 4 to 6 months later. The main outcomes were fatigue, chronic fatigue, and chronic fatigue syndrome, operationally defined. RESULTS.The incidence over 4 to 6 months was 30.3% for fatigue, 1.1% for chronic fatigue, and 0.5% for chronic fatigue syndrome. The point prevalence was 34.1% and 38.1% for fatigue, 0.4% and 1.1% for chronic fatigue, and 0.1% and 0.5% for chronic fatigue syndrome at time 1 and time 2, respectively. Of participants who were fatigued at time 1, 53% remained fatigued at time 2. The 3 cases of chronic fatigue and 1 case of chronic fatigue syndrome at time 1 had recovered by time 2. Higher risk for development of chronic fatigue at time 2 was associated with time 1 anxiety or depression, conduct disorder, and maternal distress; in multivariate analysis, baseline anxiety or depression remained a significant predictor of chronic fatigue. Increased risk for development of fatigue at time 2 was associated with time 1 anxiety or depression, conduct disorder, and older age; in multivariate analyses, these factors and female gender all were significant predictors of fatigue. CONCLUSIONS.The incidence rates for chronic fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome in this adolescent sample were relatively high, but the prognosis for these conditions was good. This prospective study provides evidence for an association between emotional/behavioral problems and subsequent onset of fatigue/chronic fatigue.

TL;DR: The high incidence of end‐stage renal failure secondary to diabetes mellitus in patients of Asian ethnic origin in the UK imparts significant public health implications for resource planning and allocation, and the need to initiate strategies to ameliorate renal disease in this ethnic group.
Abstract: Diabetic renal disease is more common in patients of Asian ethnic origin than White Caucasians in the United Kingdom. This study determines whether a disparity in the incidence of end-stage renal failure secondary to diabetes mellitus exists between these ethnic groups. The incidence of treated end-stage renal failure was estimated using the person-time at risk incidence rate for patients receiving renal replacement therapy secondary to diabetes mellitus in the county of Leicestershire from 1979 to 1988. The incidence rate of end-stage renal failure expressed for the estimated population of patients with diabetes mellitus in patients of Asian ethnic origin was 486.6 (95% CI, 185.1 to 788.1) cases per million person-years per year, compared to 35.6 (17 to 54.2) in White Caucasians. All patients of Asian ethnic origin developing end-stage renal failure had non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The high incidence of end-stage renal failure secondary to diabetes mellitus in patients of Asian ethnic origin in the UK imparts significant public health implications for resource planning and allocation, and the need to initiate strategies to ameliorate renal disease in this ethnic group.

TL;DR: Combining the MEST score with cross-sectional clinical data at biopsy provides earlier risk prediction in IgAN than current best methods, which requires clinical data over 2 years of follow-up.
