Willingness to participate in a randomized trial comparing catheters to fistulas for vascular access in incident hemodialysis patients: an international survey of nephrologistsCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 3 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
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
Current guidelines favor fistulas over catheters as vascular access. Yet, the
observational literature comparing fistulas to catheters has important
limitations and biases that may be difficult to overcome in the absence of
randomization. However, it is not clear if physicians would be willing to
participate in a clinical trial comparing fistulas to catheters. We also sought
to elicit participants... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative effectiveness of home dialysis therapies: a matched cohort studyCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 1-12 - 2016
Nesrallah, Gihad E., Li, Lihua, Suri, Rita S.
Home dialysis is being increasingly promoted among patients with end-stage renal
disease, but the comparative effectiveness of home hemodialysis and peritoneal
dialysis is unknown. To determine whether patients receiving home daily
hemodialysis have reduced mortality risk compared with matched patients
receiving home peritoneal dialysis. This study is an observational,
propensity-matched, new-user... hiện toàn bộ
Early outgrowth pro-angiogenic cell number and function do not correlate with left ventricular structure and function in conventional hemodialysis patients: a cross-sectional studyCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 2 - Trang 1-10 - 2015
James R. Lineen, Michael Kuliszewski, Niki Dacouris, Christine Liao, Dmitriy Rudenko, Djeven P. Deva, Marc Goldstein, Howard Leong-Poi, Ron Wald, Andrew T. Yan, Darren A. Yuen
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is commonly found in chronic dialysis (CD)
recipients, and is associated with impaired microvascular cardiac perfusion and
heart failure. In response to LVH and cardiac ischemia, early outgrowth
pro-angiogenic cellS(EPCs) mobilize from the bone marrow to facilitate
angiogenesis and endothelial repair. In the general population, EPC number and
function correlate i... hiện toàn bộ
Perceptions of prognostic risks in chronic kidney disease: a national surveyCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 2 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
Helen H. L. Chiu, Navdeep Tangri, Ognjenka Djurdjev, Brendan J. Barrett, Brenda R. Hemmelgarn, François Madore, Claudio Rigatto, Norman Muirhead, Manish M. Sood, Catherine M. Clase, Adeera Levin
Predicting the clinical trajectories of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to discern
personalized care remains a complex challenge in nephrology. Understanding the
appropriate risk thresholds and time frame associated with predicting risks of
key outcomes (kidney failure, cardiovascular (CV) events, and death) is critical
in facilitating decision-making. As part of an exploratory research and practice

Coronary Artery Calcification, Cardiovascular Events, and Death: A Prospective Cohort Study of Incident Patients on HemodialysisCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 2 - Trang 65 - 2015
Trevor J. Wilkieson, Mozibur Rahman, Azim S. Gangji, Michael Voss, Alistair J. Ingram, Nischal Ranganath, Charlie H. Goldsmith, Cathy Z. Kotsamanes, Mark Crowther, Christian G. Rabbat, Catherine M. Clase
Background: Coronary calcification in patients with end-stage renal disease
(ESRD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes and death
from all causes. Previous evidence has been limited by short follow-up periods
and inclusion of a heterogeneous cluster of events in the primary analyses.
Objective: To describe coronary calcification in patients incident to ESRD, and
to ident... hiện toàn bộ
Benefits and harms of citrate locking solutions for hemodialysis catheters: a systematic review and meta-analysisCanadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease - Tập 2 - Trang 1-12 - 2015

Citrate has theoretical advantages over heparin for locking hemodialysis central
venous catheters (CVCs), but the comparative effectiveness of these agents is
not clear. 1) To compare the benefits and harms of citrate versus heparin
locking solutions among patients undergoing hemodialysis through CVCs; 2) to
appraise methodological quality of the supporting evidence. CENTRAL, MEDLINE,
