Mineral Metabolism, Mortality, and Morbidity in Maintenance Hemodialysis

TL;DR: Hyperphosphatemia and hyperparathyroidism were significantly associated with all-cause, cardiovascular, and fracture-related hospitalization, and the population attributable risk percentage for disorders of mineral metabolism was 17.5%, owing largely to the high prevalence of hyperph phosphatemia.

Overall Survival and Updated Results for Sunitinib Compared With Interferon Alfa in Patients With Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: Sunitinib demonstrates longer overall survival compared with IFN-alpha plus improvement in response and progression-free survival in the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC, highlighting an improved prognosis in patients with RCC in the era of targeted therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival and Prognostic Stratification of 670 Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

TL;DR: Five prognostic factors for predicting survival were identified and used to categorize patients with metastatic RCC into three risk groups, for which the median survival times were separated by 6 months or more.

Population-based cohort study of outcomes following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases

R S Vohra, +627 more
TL;DR: The aim was to describe the management of benign gallbladder disease and identify characteristics associated with all‐cause 30‐day readmissions and complications in a prospective population‐based cohort.

Visual loss in patients with cytomegalovirus retinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome before widespread availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy.

TL;DR: In the pre-HAART era, visual morbidity was substantial, however, there was a secular trend for improved outcomes and the principal causes of visual loss were CMV involvement of the posterior retina and retinal detachment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hazard rates of recurrence following diagnosis of primary breast cancer.

TL;DR: Two peaks in hazard of recurrence are identified, one at 2 years and another at 5 years; the 5-year peak, though statistically significant, represents very small differences in patient outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prophylactic dressing application to reduce pressure ulcer formation in cardiac surgery patients.

TL;DR: Pressure ulcer incidence was lower than anticipated over the study period for both groups, and a randomized controlled trial based on a power analysis is needed to more precisely determine the efficacy of a silicone border foam dressing for prevention of pressure ulcers in the intensive care unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractures as predictors of excess mortality in the aged—A population-based study with a 12-year follow-up

TL;DR: A hip fracture was a powerful independent predictor of long-term excess mortality in both genders but the risk in men was more than 2-fold compared to men and proximal humerus fractures were associated with increased mortality in men.
