Plasma Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Concentrations and Clinical Events After Hospitalization: Findings From the ASSESS-AKI and ARID Studies. Am J Kidney Dis 2023; 81:190-200. [PMID: 36108888 PMCID: PMC9868060 DOI: 10.1053/j.ajkd.2022.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE The role of plasma soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNFR1) and sTNFR2 in the prognosis of clinical events after hospitalization with or without acute kidney injury (AKI) is unknown. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS Hospital survivors from the ASSESS-AKI (Assessment, Serial Evaluation, and Subsequent Sequelae of Acute Kidney Injury) and ARID (AKI Risk in Derby) studies with and without AKI during the index hospitalization who had baseline serum samples for biomarker measurements. PREDICTORS We measured sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 from plasma samples obtained 3 months after discharge. OUTCOMES The associations of biomarkers with longitudinal kidney disease incidence and progression, heart failure, and death were evaluated. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS Among 1,474 participants with plasma biomarker measurements, 19% had kidney disease progression, 14% had later heart failure, and 21% died during a median follow-up of 4.4 years. For the kidney outcome, the adjusted HRs (AHRs) per doubling in concentration were 2.9 (95% CI, 2.2-3.9) for sTNFR1 and 1.9 (95% CI, 1.5-2.5) for sTNFR2. AKI during the index hospitalization did not modify the association between biomarkers and kidney events. For heart failure, the AHRs per doubling in concentration were 1.9 (95% CI, 1.4-2.5) for sTNFR1 and 1.5 (95% CI, 1.2-2.0) for sTNFR2. For mortality, the AHRs were 3.3 (95% CI, 2.5-4.3) for sTNFR1 and 2.5 (95% CI, 2.0-3.1) for sTNFR2. The findings in ARID were qualitatively similar in terms of the magnitude of association between biomarkers and outcomes. LIMITATIONS Different biomarker platforms and AKI definitions; limited generalizability to other ethnic groups. CONCLUSIONS Plasma sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 measured 3 months after hospital discharge were independently associated with clinical events regardless of AKI status during the index admission. sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 may assist with the risk stratification of patients during follow-up.

Abstract
Each of us reflects a unique convergence of DNA and the environment. Over the past 2 decades, huge biobanks linked to electronic medical records have positioned the clinical and scientific communities to understand the complex genetic architecture underlying many common diseases. Although these efforts are producing increasingly accurate gene-based risk prediction algorithms for use in routine clinical care, the algorithms often fail to include environmental factors. This review explores the concept of heritability (genetic vs nongenetic determinants of disease), with emphasis on the role of environmental factors as risk determinants for common complex diseases influenced by air and water quality. Efforts to define patient exposure to specific toxicants in practice-based data sets will deepen our understanding of diseases with low heritability, and improved land management practices will reduce the burden of disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Long wait times for deceased donor kidneys and low rates of preemptive wait-listing have limited preemptive transplantation in the United States. We aimed to assess trends in preemptive deceased donor transplantation with the introduction of the new Kidney Allocation System (KAS) in 2014 and identify whether key disparities in preemptive transplantation have changed. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS We identified adult deceased donor kidney transplant recipients in the United States from 2000 to 2018 using the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Preemptive transplantation was defined as no dialysis before transplant. Associations between recipient, donor, transplant, and policy era characteristics and preemptive transplantation were calculated using logistic regression. To test for modification by KAS policy era, an interaction term between policy era and each characteristic of interest was introduced in bivariate and adjusted models. RESULTS The proportion of preemptive transplants increased after implementation of KAS from 9.0% to 9.8%, with 1.10 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.06 to 1.14) times higher odds of preemptive transplantation post-KAS compared with pre-KAS. Preemptive recipients were more likely to be white, older, female, more educated, hold private insurance, and have ESKD cause other than diabetes or hypertension. Policy era significantly modified the association between preemptive transplantation and race, age, insurance status, and Human Leukocyte Antigen zero-mismatch (interaction P<0.05). Medicare patients had a significantly lower odds of preemptive transplantation relative to private insurance holders (pre-KAS adjusted OR, [aOR] 0.26; [95% CI, 0.25 to 0.27], to 0.20 [95% CI, 0.18 to 0.22] post-KAS). Black and Hispanic patients experienced a similar phenomenon (aOR 0.48 [95% CI, 0.45 to 0.51] to 0.41 [95% CI, 0.37 to 0.45] and 0.43 [95% CI, 0.40 to 0.47] to 0.40 [95% CI, 0.36 to 0.46] respectively) compared with white patients. CONCLUSIONS Although the proportion of deceased donor kidney transplants performed preemptively increased slightly after KAS, disparities in preemptive kidney transplantation persisted after the 2014 KAS policy changes and were exacerbated for racial minorities and Medicare patients.

Abstract
Background Hospitalization for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common among patients receiving maintenance dialysis, but patterns of readmissions following cardiovascular events are underexplored. Methods and Results In this retrospective analysis of prevalent, Medicare‐eligible patients receiving dialysis in 2012–2013, all live‐discharge hospitalizations attributed to CVD were ascertained. Rates of all‐cause, CVD‐related, and non–CVD‐related readmissions and death in the ensuing 10 and 30 days were calculated. Multinomial logistic modeling was used to assess the relationship between potential explanatory factors and outcomes of interest. Among 142 210 analyzed hospitalizations, mean age at time of index CVD hospitalization was 64.9±14.1 years; 50.4% of index hospitalizations were for women, and 41.4% were for white patients. Fully 15.6% and 34.2% of CVD hospitalizations resulted in readmission within 10 and 30 days, respectively; less than half of readmissions were CVD related (42.5%, 10 days; 43.1%, 30 days). Death within 30 days, regardless of readmission, occurred after 4.5% of index hospitalizations; 51.2% were attributed to CVD. Compared with ages 65 to 69 years, younger age tended to be associated with increased readmission risk (adjusted relative risk for ages 18–44 years: 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.48–1.63). Readmission risk did not differ between white and black patients, but risk of death without readmission was markedly lower for black patients (relative risk: 0.60; 95% confidence interval, 0.55–0.67). Conclusions Roughly 1 in 3 CVD hospitalizations resulted in 30‐day readmission; nearly 1 in 20 was followed by death within 30 days. Risk of death without readmission was higher for white than black patients, despite no difference in risk of readmission.

Am J Kidney Dis 2017; 71:123-132.

Abstract
Although outcomes improved during the past decade for patients receiving maintenance dialysis, gains were few in certain key areas, as highlighted in the 2016 Peer Kidney Care Initiative Report. Overall incidence rates of dialysis therapy initiation in adults remained relatively stable (∼42 per 100,000 US population, 2009-2013), but rates varied more than 2-fold, from 26 to 54, across US geographic regions. Hospitalization rates in incident patients decreased from 261 hospitalizations per 100 patient-years in 2003 to 207 in 2012, but observation stay rates increased from 40 to 67, attenuating the decline in hospitalizations by half. Decreases in prevalent patient hospitalizations for heart failure, from 15.6 per 100 patient-years in 2004 to 9.5 in 2013, were partially offset by increases in hospitalizations for volume overload, from 3.0 in 2004 to 6.1 in 2013. Prevalent patient rates of hospitalizations for arrhythmias (∼4.6 per 100 patient-years) did not improve during the past decade, whereas sudden cardiac death as a proportion of total cardiovascular deaths increased from 53% to 73%. Hospitalization rates for pneumonia/influenza, at about 8.3 per 100 patient-years in prevalent patients, did not decrease during this period, while hospitalization rates for bacteremia/sepsis increased from 8.6 to 12.0. If decreases in mortality rates are to be sustained, novel approaches to these challenges will be required.
