Comparative Effectiveness of Two Anemia Management Strategies for Complex Elderly Dialysis Patients
BACKGROUND: Randomized trials found that use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents to target normal hematocrit (Hct) levels (>39%) compared with 27%-34.5% increases cardiovascular risk and mortality among chronic kidney disease patients. However, the effects of the most widely used Hct target in the past 2 decades, 34.5%-39%, have never been examined. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of 2 Hct target strategies-30.0%-34.5% (low) and 34.5%-39.0% (m…
Chronic kidney disease in Nicaragua: A qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with physicians and pharmacists
Interviews provided evidence suggesting that medications such as diuretics, antibiotics and NSAIDs are widely used and sold over the counter for symptoms that may be related to dehydration and volume depletion. These factors, alone or in combination, may be possible contributors to kidney damage. Acute kidney damage coupled with volume depletion and exposures including medications and infectious agents should be further evaluated as causal factor…
Comparing VA and Private Sector Healthcare Costs for End-stage Renal Disease
BACKGROUND: Healthcare for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is intensive, expensive, and provided in both the public and private sector. Using a societal perspective, we examined healthcare costs and health outcomes for Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) ESRD patients comparing those who received hemodialysis care at VA versus private sector facilities. METHODS: Dialysis patients were recruited from 8 VA medical centers from 2001 through 2003 and …
Predialysis Nephrology Care and Costs in Elderly Patients Initiating Dialysis
BACKGROUND: Access to nephrology care before initiation of chronic dialysis is associated with improved outcomes after initiation. Less is known about the effect of predialysis nephrology care on healthcare costs and utilization. METHODS: We conducted retrospective analyses of elderly patients who initiated dialysis between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2001 and were eligible for services covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. We used …
