Racial Differences in Over-the-Counter Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Use Among Individuals at Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular Events. J Racial Ethn Health Disparities 2023:10.1007/s40615-023-01743-x. [PMID: 37594625 DOI: 10.1007/s40615-023-01743-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Black Americans are disproportionately affected by adverse cardiovascular events (ACEs). Over-the-counter (OTC) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) confer increased risk for ACEs, yet racial differences in the use of these products remain understudied. This study sought to determine racial differences in OTC NSAID and high-potency powdered NSAID (HPP-NSAID) use. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective analysis examined participants at risk of ACEs (defined as those with self-reported hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, or smoking history ≥ 20 years) from the North Carolina Colon Cancer Study, a population-based case-control study. We used multivariable logistic regression models to assess the independent associations of race with any OTC NSAID use, HPP-NSAID use, and regular use of these products. RESULTS Of the 1286 participants, 585 (45%) reported Black race and 701 (55%) reported non-Black race. Overall, 665 (52%) reported any OTC NSAID use and 204 (16%) reported HPP-NSAID use. Compared to non-Black individuals, Black individuals were more likely to report both any OTC NSAID use (57% versus 48%) and HPP-NSAID use (22% versus 11%). In multivariable analyses, Black (versus non-Black) race was independently associated with higher odds of both NSAID use (OR 1.4, 95% CI (1.1, 1.8)) and HPP-NSAID use (OR 1.8 (1.3, 2.5)). CONCLUSIONS Black individuals at risk of ACEs had higher odds of any OTC NSAID and HPP-NSAID use than non-Black individuals, after controlling for pain and socio-economic status. Further research is necessary to identify potential mechanisms driving this increased use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diclofenac (DF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) generally prescribed for the treatment of pain. In spite of the widespread use of DF, hepatotoxicity has been reported after its administration. The current study discloses new evidence as regards of the curative effects of chrysin (CHR) on DF-induced hepatotoxicity by regulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. METHODS The animals were separated into five different groups. Group-I was in control. Group-II received CHR-only (50 mg/kg bw, p.o.) on all 5 days. Group-III received DF-only (50 mg/kg bw, i.p.) on 4th and 5th day. Group-IV received DF (50 mg/kg bw) + CHR (25 mg/kg, bw) and group-V received DF (50 mg/kg, bw) + CHR (50 mg/kg, bw) for 5 days. RESULTS DF injection was associated with increased MDA while reduced GSH level, activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase and mRNA levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 in the liver. DF injection caused apoptosis and autophagy in the liver by up-regulating caspase-3, Bax, LC3A, and LC3B levels and down-regulating Bcl-2. DF also caused ER stress by increasing mRNA transcript levels of ATF-6, IRE1, PERK, and GRP78. Additionally, it was observed that DF administration up-regulated MMP2 and MMP9. However, treatment with CHR at a dose of 25 and 50 mg/kg considerably ameliorated oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, and ER stress in liver tissue. CONCLUSION Overall, the data of this study indicate that liver damage associated with DF toxicity could be ameliorated by CHR administration.

Dose Response 2022; 20:15593258221103846. [PMID: 35663494 PMCID: PMC9158437 DOI: 10.1177/15593258221103846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Studies into drug combination at low doses are a promising approach to the management of pain and inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-edema and anti-hyperalgesic effects of a combination of diclofenac and andrographolide. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were first treated with diclofenac or andrographolide alone (3–100 mg/kg), as well as a combination of the 2 drugs. Carrageenan was then injected into the right hind paw of rats, and changes in paw volume and sensitivity to mechanical (von Frey) and thermal (Hargreaves test) stimuli measured. Results showed drug combination produced synergistic effects at reducing paw edema especially at lower doses, with a Loewe synergy score of 13.02 ± 8.75 in SynergyFinder and a combination index of .41 ± .18 after isobolographic analysis. Again synergy scores for decreasing response to 1.0 and 3.6 g force application of von Frey filaments after drug combination were 10.127 ± 5.68 and 8.554 ± 6.53, respectively, in SynergyFinder. Synergistic effects were also seen after drug combination in the Hargreaves test with a synergy score of 5.136 ± 16.38. In conclusion, combination of diclofenac with andrographolide showed better pharmacologic effects after carrageenan injection and was more synergistic at low-dose combinations.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) in the hospital often occurs with other serious illnesses that take medical priority. Despite a persistent risk of adverse outcomes following hospital discharge, AKI survivors often receive inadequate education about how best to mitigate risks once home. We sought to identify AKI survivors’ perceived barriers to shared and informed decision-making regarding their AKI diagnosis and self-management. Study Design Semistructured phone interviews were used to assess patients’ perceived barriers and facilitators to AKI self-management after a hospital-related AKI event. Setting & Participants AKI survivors discharged from Duke University Hospital in Durham, NC, were recruited for interviews to discuss their AKI experiences. Those who received dialysis for AKI were excluded because their perceptions of AKI care were hypothesized to be much different from those of patients not requiring dialysis. Analytical Approach Twenty-four interviews were conducted between May and August 2018. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by study team members to identify common themes and discrepancies and reach a final consensus. Results Five consistent themes emerged after thematic saturation: (1) patients were unaware of their AKI diagnosis; (2) patients lacked information about AKI and how to manage it at home; (3) patients identified a lack of understanding about AKI; (4) patients were concerned about dialysis; and (5) patients wanted to know how to prevent AKI in the future. Limitations Limitations include recruitment from a single center, all study participants receiving a nephrology consultation, and several patients being unable to participate because of persistent illness following hospitalization. Conclusions AKI survivors are unaware of their diagnosis, receive suboptimal education while hospitalized, and are not equipped with tools to mitigate risks following discharge. Patient-centered interventions promoting AKI awareness and self-management may improve long-term outcomes for high-risk AKI survivors.

Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is widely used in the care of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite hopeful trends suggested by recent studies, mortality among CRRT recipients with severe AKI remains extremely high. Moreover, CRRT does not confer a reduction in mortality in trials comparing CRRT to intermittent RRT modalities. Among AKI survivors, some preliminary studies suggest a higher likelihood of kidney recovery and dialysis independence in CRRT recipients. AKI survivors are at risk for a broad array of adverse outcomes; strategies that may mitigate these risks are discussed.

Abstract
Background This research aimed to evaluate analgesic utilization in public hospitals from 2013 to 2018 by analyzing the procurement data of 793 hospitals in China. Methods This study applied a retrospective observational study by using a database of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association. The final dataset covers 30 provinces and municipalities in China, with a total of 793 public hospitals with complete procurement records of analgesics from January 2013 to December 2018. Procurement cost and dosage utilization were analyzed through descriptive trend statistics. Results From the procurement cost data, analgesics mainly consisted of opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and the annual cost of both types of drugs increased yearly. The 6-year total cost of opioids accounts for 57% (17,800 million CNY), followed by the cost of NSAIDs accounts for 37% (11,400 million CNY). From 2013 to 2018, the annual cost of opioids nearly doubled, while the annual cost of NSAIDs doubled. The total 6-year clinical drug dosage of opioids accounts for 45% (675 million total defined daily dose (DDD)), and the NSAIDs account for 50% (747 million total DDD). From 2013 to 2018, the annual clinical drug dosage of NSAIDs increased by about 0.6 times. The annual clinical drug dosage of opioids has more than doubled. The top three opioid drugs were dezocine injection, remifentanil injection, and sufentanil injection solution. the top three NSAIDs were flurbiprofen injection, parecoxib injection, and celecoxib oral solution. Conclusion In China, analgesics utilization increased rapidly at public hospitals from 2013 to 2018. The utilization of analgesics was highly concentrated in NSAIDs and opioids. Within the two types of analgesics, the main analgesics utilization is also highly concentrated, with some highly risky analgesics. The rational guideline for the utilization of analgesics needs to be established with the support of real-world evidence.

Abstract
Older people are particularly susceptible to acute kidney injury (AKI) for a variety of reasons. Because of this, medication changes during admission and transitions of care follow-up are often necessary to ensure the safety of these patients. The American Geriatrics Society's Beers Criteria provide guidance for select medications that are potentially inappropriate in the older adult population. However, other medications, particularly those for cardiovascular disease and diabetes that are not included in the kidney function-specific section of the Beers Criteria (Table 6), can sometimes be overlooked. This manuscript will provide insight to both pharmacists and student pharmacists on the importance of being vigilant for medications that may need dosage adjustment during episodes of AKI. As interns in the outpatient setting, pharmacy students can provide education to patients and their families in order to ensure these medications are being taken correctly and are properly restarted if their discontinuation was intended for only a short time.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease are common interconnected syndromes that represent a public health problem. Acute kidney disease (AKD) is defined as the post-AKI status of acute or subacute kidney damage/dysfunction manifested by persistence of AKI beyond 7 to 90 days after the initial AKI diagnosis. Limited clinical data exist regarding AKD epidemiology but its incidence is observed in ∼25% of AKI survivors. Useful risk-stratification tools to predict risk of AKD and its prognosis are needed. Interventions on fluid management, nephrotoxic exposure, and follow-up care hold promise to ameliorate the burden of AKD and its complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study was to summarize the current evidence around the impact of individualizing patient care following an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the ICU. RECENT FINDINGS Over the last years, evidence has demonstrated that the follow-up care after episodes of AKI is lacking and standardization of this process is likely needed. Although this is informed largely by large retrospective cohort studies, a few prospective observational trials have been performed. Medication reconciliation and patient/caregiver education are important tenants of follow-up care, regardless of the severity of AKI. There is evidence the initiation and/or reinstitution of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone agents may improve patient's outcomes following AKI, although they may increase the risk for adverse events, especially when reinitiated early. In addition, 3 months after an episode of AKI, serum creatinine and proteinuria evaluation may help identify patients who are likely to develop progressive chronic kidney disease over the ensuing 5 years. Lastly, there are emerging differences between those who do and do not require renal replacement therapy (RRT) for their AKI, which may require more frequent and intense follow-up in those needing RRT. SUMMARY Although large scale evidence-based guidelines are lacking, standardization of post-ICU-AKI is needed.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of critical illness and is associated with adverse short- and long-term health consequences. Survivors of critical illness and AKI experience poor kidney, cardiovascular and quality of life outcomes, along with increased mortality. Yet, many patients surviving AKI are unaware that there is a problem with their kidney health, and post-AKI nephrology follow-up occurs at very low rates. Although there is a paucity of evidence-based studies to guide post-AKI care, attention to risk factors such as hypertension and albuminuria are requisite. There are several ongoing or planned studies which are expected to help inform specific management in the future. Until then, a multidisciplinary approach is warranted to address areas such as quality of life, physical rehabilitation, dietary modifications, and medication reconciliation.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI), once viewed predominantly as a self-limited and reversible condition, is now recognized as a growing problem associated with significant risks of adverse long-term health outcomes. Many cohort studies have established important relationships between AKI and subsequent risks of recurrent AKI, hospital re-admission, morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as the development of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. In both high-income countries (HICs) and low-income or middle-income countries (LMICs), several challenges exist in providing high-quality, patient-centered care following AKI. Despite advances in our understanding about the long-term risks following AKI, large gaps in knowledge remain about effective interventions that can improve the outcomes of patients. Therapies for high blood pressure, glycaemic control (for patients with diabetes), renin-angiotensin inhibition and statins might be important in improving long-term cardiovascular and kidney outcomes after AKI. Novel strategies that incorporate risk stratification approaches, educational interventions and new models of ambulatory care following AKI have been described, and some of these are now being implemented and evaluated in clinical studies in HICs. Care for AKI in LMICs must overcome additional barriers due to limited resources for diagnosis and management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem, exhibiting sharp increases in incidence, prevalence, and attributable morbidity and mortality. There is a critical need to better understand the demographics, clinical characteristics, and key risk factors for CKD; and to develop platforms for testing novel interventions to improve modifiable risk factors, particularly for the CKD patients with a rapid decline in kidney function. METHODS We describe a novel collaboration between two large healthcare systems (Providence St. Joseph Health and University of California, Los Angeles Health) supported by leadership from both institutions, which was created to develop harmonized cohorts of patients with CKD or those at increased risk for CKD (hypertension/HTN, diabetes/DM, pre-diabetes) from electronic health record data. RESULTS The combined repository of candidate records included more than 3.3 million patients with at least a single qualifying measure for CKD and/or at-risk for CKD. The CURE-CKD registry includes over 2.6 million patients with and/or at-risk for CKD identified by stricter guide-line based criteria using a combination of administrative encounter codes, physical examinations, laboratory values and medication use. Notably, data based on race/ethnicity and geography in part, will enable robust analyses to study traditionally disadvantaged or marginalized patients not typically included in clinical trials. DISCUSSION CURE-CKD project is a unique multidisciplinary collaboration between nephrologists, endocrinologists, primary care physicians with health services research skills, health economists, and those with expertise in statistics, bio-informatics and machine learning. The CURE-CKD registry uses curated observations from real-world settings across two large healthcare systems and has great potential to provide important contributions for healthcare and for improving clinical outcomes in patients with and at-risk for CKD.

Abstract
Nf-E2-related transcription factor 2 (Nrf2) helps cells fight oxidative stress events in vivo and in vitro by promoting the expression of antioxidants and detoxification enzymes. The necessary factors regulating Nrf2 activity and stability during analgesic nephropathy are not fully understood. Our results suggest that acetaminophen produces nephrotoxicity in HK-2 cells by inhibiting keap1 degradation. APAP subsided Nrf2 nuclear accumulation by inhibition of keap1 degradation, thereby reducing the binding of Nrf2 to ARE, leading to the loss of expression of antioxidant proteins such as HO-1, inducing a series of oxidative stress and apoptosis events. Therefore, Nrf2/keap1/HO-1 signal transduction pathway has a poor prognosis during analgesic nephrotoxicity. Sika deer antler protein (SDAPR) significantly prevented APAP-induced HK-2 cell damage by constitutively stabilized Nrf2 nuclear retention. Excess APAP leads to a decrease in Nrf2 nuclear translocation, leading to severe oxidative stress, increasing the levels of GSH and MDA in HK-2 cells, and reducing the enzyme activities of SOD and CAT in HK-2 cells. Increased biomarker levels of acute kidney injury (AKI) in HK-2 cells, including kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and cystatin C, decrease the mitochondrial membrane potential in HK-2 cells, and cause mitochondrial dysfunction, it also reduced the ratio of mitochondria-associated apoptotic protein Bax/Bcl-2, leading to cell apoptosis. SDAPR dose dependently accorded protection against acetaminophen-induced nephrotoxicity, oxidative damage, and cell apoptosis by its molecular intervention with Nrf2/keap1/HO-1 pathway via keap1 degradation. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In this paper, we investigated the protective effect of SDAPR on APAP-induced AKI in HK-2 cells, and briefly explained its possible mechanism of action, providing a basis for future clinical trials and the development of anti-APAP AKI drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are common diseases that frequently co-exist, along with overweight/obesity. While the mechanical impact of excess body weight on joints may explain lower limb OA, we sought to explore whether T2DM is linked to OA outside of excess weight and whether T2DM may play a role in OA pathophysiology. The consequence of T2DM on OA outcomes is a question of research interest. METHODS We conducted a critical review of the literature to explore the association between T2DM and OA, whether any association is site-specific for OA, and whether the presence of T2DM impacts on OA outcomes. We also reviewed the literature to assess the safety of anti-OA treatments in patients with T2DM. RESULTS T2DM has a pathogenic effect on OA through 2 major pathways involving oxidative stress and low-grade chronic inflammation resulting from chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. T2DM is a risk factor for OA progression and has a negative impact on arthroplasty outcomes. Evidence is mounting for safety concerns with some of the most frequently prescribed anti-OA medications, including paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections, while other anti-OA medications may be safely prescribed in OA patients with T2DM, such as glucosamine and intra-articular hyaluronic acid. CONCLUSIONS Future research is needed to better understand whether diabetes control and prevention can modulate OA occurrence and progression. The selection of therapy to treat OA symptoms in patients with T2DM may require careful consideration of the evidence based to avoid untoward safety issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) survivors are at risk for chronic kidney disease, recurrent AKI, and cardiovascular disease. The transition from hospital to ambulatory care is an opportunity to reduce these sequelae by launching self-care plans through effective patient education. How well AKI survivors are informationally prepared to apply kidney-specific self-care is unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify awareness and disease-specific knowledge among AKI survivors. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional survey of AKI-related awareness and knowledge in 137 patients with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Stage II or III AKI near the time of hospital discharge. Patients were asked (1) "Did you experience AKI while in the hospital?" and (2) "Do you have a problem with your kidney health?" Objective knowledge of AKI was evaluated with a 15-item adapted version of the validated Kidney Knowledge Survey that included topics such as common causes, risk factors, and how AKI is diagnosed. RESULTS Median age was 54 (interquartile range 43-63) and 81% were white. Eighty percent of patients were unaware that they had experienced AKI and 53% were both unaware they had experienced AKI or had a "problem with their kidneys." Multivariable logistic regression identified being male and lack of nephrology consult as predictors of unawareness with ORs of 3.92 (95% CI 1.48-10.33) and 5.10 (95% CI 1.98-13.13), respectively. Less than 50% recognized nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, contrast, or phosphate-based cathartics as risk factors for AKI. Two-thirds of patients did not agree that they knew a lot about AKI and more than 80% desired more information. CONCLUSIONS Most patients with moderate to severe AKI are unaware of their condition, lack understanding of risk factors for recurrent AKI, and desire more information. Patient-centered communication to optimize awareness, understanding, and care will require coordinated educational strategies throughout the continuum of AKI care.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Concern about the renal effects of nonsteroidand al anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) among young, healthy adults has been limited, but more attention may be warranted given the prevalent use of these agents. OBJECTIVE To test for associations between dispensed NSAIDs and incident acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease while controlling for other risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This retrospective, longitudinal cohort study used deidentified medical and administrative data on 764 228 active-duty US Army soldiers serving between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2014. Analysis was conducted from August 1 to November 30, 2018. All individuals new to Army service were included in the analysis. Persons already serving in January 2011 were required to have at least 7 months of observable time to eliminate those with kidney disease histories. EXPOSURES Mean total defined daily doses of prescribed NSAIDs dispensed per month in the prior 6 months. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incident outcomes were defined by diagnoses documented in health records and a military-specific digital system. RESULTS Among the 764 228 participants (655 392 [85.8%] men; mean [SD] age, 28.6 [7.9] years; median age, 27.0 years [interquartile range, 22.0-33.0 years]), 502 527 (65.8%) were not dispensed prescription NSAIDs in the prior 6 months, 137 108 (17.9%) were dispensed 1 to 7 mean total defined daily doses per month, and 124 594 (16.3%) received more than 7 defined daily doses per month. There were 2356 acute kidney injury outcomes (0.3% of participants) and 1634 chronic kidney disease outcomes (0.2%) observed. Compared with participants who received no medication, the highest exposure level was associated with significantly higher adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) for acute kidney injury (aHR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.1-1.4) and chronic kidney disease (aHR, 1.2; 95% CI, 1.0-1.3), with annual outcome excesses per 100 000 exposed individuals totaling 17.6 cases for acute kidney injury and 30.0 cases for chronic kidney disease. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Modest but statistically significant associations were noted between the highest observed doses of NSAID exposure and incident kidney problems among active young and middle-aged adults.

Abstract
Postoperative tissue fibrosis represents a major complication in orthopedics. Transforming growth factor beta 1 is a key molecule in the development of postoperative fibrosis. High concentrations of transforming growth factor beta 1 have also been implicated in various diseases. Agents that counteract the actions of transforming growth factor beta 1 have been investigated as potential antifibrotic medications and as adjunct treatment to platelet-rich plasma injections (increased amounts of transforming growth factor beta 1) to improve their effectiveness and/or safety profile. Losartan blocks transforming growth factor beta 1 action and has attracted special interest in orthopedic research that focuses on how to reduce the risk of postoperative fibrosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is independently associated with new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. However, only a minority of patients receive follow-up care after an episode of AKI in the developing world, and the optimal strategies to promote rehabilitation after AKI are ill-defined. On this background, a working group of the 18th Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative applied the consensus-building process informed by a PubMed review of English-language articles to address questions related to rehabilitation after AKI. The consensus statements propose that all patients should be offered follow-up within 3 months of an AKI episode, with more intense follow-up (e.g., <1 month) considered based on patient risk factors, characteristics of the AKI event, and the degree of kidney recovery. Patients should be monitored for renal and nonrenal events post-AKI, and we suggest that the minimum level of monitoring consist of an assessment of kidney function and proteinuria within 3 months of the AKI episode. Care should be individualized for higher risk patients, particularly patients who are still dialysis dependent, to promote renal recovery. Although evidence-based treatments for survivors of AKI are lacking and some outcomes may not be modifiable, we recommend simple interventions such as lifestyle changes, medication reconciliation, blood pressure control, and education, including the documentation of AKI in the patient’s medical record. In conclusion, survivors of AKI represent a high-risk population, and these consensus statements should provide clinicians with guidance on the care of patients after an episode of AKI.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an increasingly common condition that is associated with long-term health outcomes. Recent studies have demonstrated that AKI, particularly when severe or persistent, is associated with all-cause mortality, CKD, ESRD, cardiovascular events, and reduced quality of life. However, data from multiple health care systems indicate that most patients do not see a nephrologist, although 1 study has suggested patients with AKI requiring dialysis may benefit from doing so. These observations raise the greater questions of what are the elements of care that may improve outcomes in survivors of AKI and which survivors need to be seen. Potential opportunities to improve care include appropriate risk stratification, closer monitoring of kidney function, management of CKD complications, blood pressure control, medication reconciliation, and education. Nephrologists are in an ideal position to lead and advocate for outpatient care pathways for survivors of AKI. In this article, we review the evidence supporting patient follow-up after AKI, describe the current state of follow-up care, and examine strategies to improve long-term outcomes for this high-risk population.
