Abstract
Background Individuals with kidney disease are at a high risk of bleeding and as such tools that identify those at highest risk may aid mitigation strategies. Objective We set out to develop and validate a prediction equation (BLEED-HD) to identify patients on maintenance hemodialysis at high risk of bleeding. Design International prospective cohort study (development); retrospective cohort study (validation). Settings Development: 15 countries (Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study [DOPPS] phase 2-6 from 2002 to 2018); Validation: Ontario, Canada. Patients Development: 53 147 patients; Validation: 19 318 patients. Measurements Hospitalization for a bleeding event. Methods Cox proportional hazards models. Results Among the DOPPS cohort (mean age, 63.7 years; female, 39.7%), a bleeding event occurred in 2773 patients (5.2%, event rate 32 per 1000 person-years), with a median follow-up of 1.6 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.9-2.1) years. BLEED-HD included 6 variables: age, sex, country, previous gastrointestinal bleeding, prosthetic heart valve, and vitamin K antagonist use. The observed 3-year probability of bleeding by deciles of risk ranged from 2.2% to 10.8%. Model discrimination was low to moderate (c-statistic = 0.65) with excellent calibration (Brier score range = 0.036-0.095). Discrimination and calibration of BLEED-HD were similar in an external validation of 19 318 patients from Ontario, Canada. Compared to existing bleeding scores, BLEED-HD demonstrated better discrimination and calibration (c-statistic: HEMORRHAGE = 0.59, HAS-BLED = 0.59, and ATRIA = 0.57, c-stat difference, net reclassification index [NRI], and integrated discrimination index [IDI] all P value <.0001). Limitations Dialysis procedure anticoagulation was not available; validation cohort was considerably older than the development cohort. Conclusion In patients on maintenance hemodialysis, BLEED-HD is a simple risk equation that may be more applicable than existing risk tools in predicting the risk of bleeding in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective The risks of major bleeding, thrombosis, and cardiovascular events are elevated in patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Our objective was to compare the risk of these outcomes in HD according to the permanent vascular access type. Study Design Observational cohort study. Setting & Participants Using data from the United States Renal Data System (2010-2015), we included patients with kidney failure who were greater than 18 years, had Medicare as the primary payer, were not using an oral anticoagulant, and were newly using an arteriovenous (AV) access for HD. Exposure AV graft (AVG) or AV fistula (AVF). Outcomes Major bleeding, venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and critical limb ischemia. Analytical Approach Comparing 17,763 AVG and 60,329 AVF users, we estimated the 3-year incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of each outcome using Poisson regression. IRRs were adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical covariates. Results The use of an AVG, compared with that of an AVF, was associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (10.8 vs 5.3 events per 100 person-years; adjusted IRR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.63-1.85) but not with the risk of major bleeding (IRR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.93-1.17). The use of an AVG was also potentially associated with a slightly increased risk of cardiovascular death (IRR, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.01-1.16). Limitations This analysis focused on patients with a functioning AV access; adverse events that may occur during access maturation should also be considered when selecting a vascular access. Conclusions The use of an AVG, relative to an AVF, in HD is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Given recent guidelines emphasizing selection of the “right access” for the “right patient,” the results of this study should potentially be considered as one additional factor when selecting the optimal access for HD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy of thyrotropin-releasing hormone tartrate (TRH-T) for treating prolonged disturbance of consciousness due to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether TRH-T was really effective, and what was the recovery factor when it was valid. This was a retrospective study of a single facility. METHODS We treated 208 patients with aneurysmal SAH at our hospital between 2011 and 2017. Among them, we investigated 97 cases in which TRH-T was administered to prolonged disturbance of consciousness. Thirty one patients with Hasegawa dementia rating scale-revised (HDS-R) score less than 20 were included. Patients' HDS-R scores were evaluated 7 days after clipping the aneurysm and 2 days after completing a course of TRH-T treatment. HDS-R score increases of greater than or over equal to 8 and less than 8 were defined as good and poor outcomes, respectively. Outcomes were compared to 11 patients who did not receive TRH-T treatment. RESULTS Average initial and post-treatment HDS-R scores were 9 ± 6.6 and 19 ± 9.5, respectively. The good outcome group included 19 patients. Statistically significant differences in HDS-R score changes were observed between the group with initial HDS-R scores of 0-4 and the other groups. Poor outcomes were significantly correlated with age of greater than 60 years and initial HDS-R scores less than oroverequal to 4 points. The improvement in HDS-R score was significantly greater in the TRH-T administration group than the control group. CONCLUSIONS TRH-T was effective for treating prolonged disturbance of consciousness due to aneurysmal SAH, especially in young patients with HDS-R scores between 5 and 20.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can result in poor outcomes, and biomarkers for predicting poor prognosis have not yet been established. The aim of this study was to clarify the significance of the serum glucose/potassium ratio for predicting the prognosis of aneurysmal SAH. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 565 patients with aneurysmal SAH between 2006 and 2016. The patient group comprised 208 men and 357 women (mean age 61.5 years, range 10-95 years). A statistical analysis was conducted of the clinical and laboratory risk factors of poor outcome, including the serum glucose/potassium ratio. RESULTS On estimation of the initial assessment using Hunt and Kosnik (H-K) grading, 233 patients (41.2%) were classified as the severe SAH group (H-K Grade IV or V). There were significant correlations between the severe SAH group and serum glucose/potassium ratio (p < 0.0001). Serum glucose/potassium ratio was elevated in an H-K grade-dependent manner (Spearman's r = 0.5374, p < 0.0001). With the estimation of the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score at discharge, 355 patients (62.8%) were classified as poor outcome (GOS score 1-3). The serum glucose/potassium ratio was elevated in a GOS score at discharge-dependent manner (Spearman's r = 0.4006, p < 0.0001), and was significantly elevated in the poor outcome group compared with the good outcome group (GOS score 4 or 5; p = 0.0245). There were significant correlations between poor outcome and serum glucose/potassium ratio (p < 0.0001), age (p < 0.0001), brain natriuretic peptide levels (p = 0.011), cerebral infarction due to vasospasm (p < 0.0001), and H-K grade (p < 0.0001). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed significant correlations between poor outcome and serum glucose/potassium ratio (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the serum glucose/potassium ratio of patients with aneurysmal SAH at admission was significantly correlated with H-K grade and GOS score at discharge. Therefore, this ratio was useful for predicting prognosis of aneurysmal SAH, especially in severe cases.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of our study is to compare pregnancy outcomes between women with a functioning renal transplant and women with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). METHODS We carried out a population-based retrospective cohort study using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2006 to 2011. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the age-adjusted effect of functioning renal transplant vs. ESRD requiring dialysis on pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS We identified 264 birth records to women with a functional renal transplant and 267 birth records to women with ESRD on dialysis among 5,245,452 births. As compared to women with ESRD on dialysis, renal transplant recipients were less likely to have placental abruption [odds ratio, OR 0.23 (95% confidence interval, CI 0.08-0.70)], to receive blood transfusions [OR 0.17 (95% CI 0.09-0.30)], and to have growth-restricted and small-for-gestational-age babies [OR 0.45 (95% CI 0.23-0.85)]. Renal transplant recipients were more likely to have an instrumental delivery [OR 15.38 (95% CI 1.92-123.3)]. Among renal transplant women, there was a trend towards delivery by cesarean section as compared to patients with ESRD [OR 1.31 (95% CI 0.93-1.85)]. However, these results were not statistically significant. Fetal deaths were less likely to occur in women with a renal transplant [OR 0.41 (95% CI 0.17-0.96)]. There were four maternal deaths among patients with ESRD on dialysis and no maternal deaths among renal transplant patients. CONCLUSION Patients with a functional renal graft had an overall lower rate of morbidity and adverse pregnancy complications when compared to patients with ESRD on dialysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Though the incidence of severe sepsis is rising, there is a lack of contemporary information regarding the epidemiology and outcomes of severe sepsis in those on maintenance dialysis. The objectives of this study were to measure the incidence and outcomes of severe sepsis in those on maintenance dialysis. METHODS Using data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2005 to 2010, we included all hospitalizations of adults with severe sepsis based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes. Those on maintenance dialysis were identified by ICD-9-CM codes. We calculated incidence of severe sepsis and mortality. We used logistic regression to assess independent effect of maintenance dialysis status on mortality. RESULTS Of the estimated 5,000,152 hospitalizations with severe sepsis, 322,734 (6.4%) were on maintenance dialysis. The unadjusted incidence of severe sepsis was 145.4 per 1,000 in those on maintenance dialysis in comparison to 3.5 per 1,000 in the general population. Mortality was higher in those with severe sepsis (30.3 vs. 26.2%; p < 0.001). Maintenance dialysis is an independent predictor of death in those with severe sepsis (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.23-1.29). CONCLUSIONS Hospitalizations with severe sepsis are more prevalent and associated with poor outcomes in those on maintenance dialysis.

Abstract
Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a dialysis patient is an uncommon occurrence and is often associated with high mortality. We report for the first time in India, a case of spontaneous nontraumatic, nonaneurysmal SAH without any cerebrovascular malformation in a maintenance hemodialysis patient, following a session of hemodialysis. The dialysis prescription needs to be modified in these patients, in order to prevent worsening of cerebral edema and progression of hemorrhage. Where available, continuous forms of renal replacement therapies, with regional anticoagulation seem to be the best option for such patients, till neurologic stabilization is achieved.

Abstract
Background For those who initiate chronic dialysis, knowing what proportion will experience 3-year outcomes of hemorrhage with hospitalization informs patient prognosis, disease impact, and the planning of trials and programs to prevent events. Objectives We examined the incidence of hemorrhage and related gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in incident older dialysis patients and stratified patients by age, era, dialysis modality and whether recently prescribed anti-thrombotic medication. Design Retrospective cohort study Setting Ontario, Canada from 1998 to 2008 (n = 11,173) Patients All older patients (>65 years) who initiated chronic dialysis Measurements Hospitalization with hemorrhage and its subtypes (upper and lower gastrointestinal, intra-cerebral, subarachnoid) and related-gastrointestinal procedures. Methods Three-year outcomes of hospitalization with hemorrhage were expressed as cumulative incidence and incidence rate (number of events per 1,000 patient years). Results were stratified by patient age (66 to 74, 75 to 84, ≥ 85), era (1998 to 2001, 2002 to 2005, 2006 to 2008) and dialysis modality. Among those with hemorrhage, we examined prescriptions for anti-thrombotic medications (warfarin, clopidogrel) in the preceding 120 days. Results The 3-year cumulative incidence of hemorrhage was 14.4% (roughly 1 in 7 patients). By location, the 3-year cumulative incidence was 8.9% lower gastrointestinal, 6.1% upper gastrointestinal, 0.9% intra-cerebral and 0.1% sub arachnoid hemorrhage. The 3-year cumulative incidence of gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures was 14.8%. The cumulative incidence and rate of hemorrhage were not appreciably different across the 3 age strata, by era or by dialysis modality. Among patients with a hemorrhage, 29.5% were prescribed warfarin in the preceding 120 days, and 8.4% clopidogrel. Limitations Recurrent events were not included. Conclusions Many older patients who initiate chronic dialysis will be hospitalized with hemorrhage and receive related procedures over the subsequent three years. Despite greater age and co-morbidity over the last decade this incidence has not changed.
