Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the benefit of renal support in critically ill patients who had suffered kidney failure due to injury. Results revealed that intensive renal support in critically ill patients did not improve kidney function nor was there a drop in mortality rate.

19. Estimating gestational age in the term pregnancy with a model based on multiple indices of fetal maturity

Abstract

Pregnancies continuing past the normal 40 weeks gestational period occur in three to 12 percent of all pregnancies. Post-date pregnancies can be associated with poor fetal outcome. Ascertaining the correct gestational age of a fetus is essential for the diagnosis of a post-date pregnancy. Current methods, which use biometric measurements of organ size, are not accurate near the end of pregnancy. To determine the most accurate assessment of fetal age, ultrasound, or the use of high frequency sound to visualize internal structures, in combination with other methods of estimating gestational age were studied. In 100 pregnancies, the growth plate of the upper arm bone, the humerus ossification center, and colonic grade, a method which grades the age of a placenta, offered the best predictability of gestational age. A table developed from standard measurements can be used to predict the gestational age of a fetus late in pregnancy.

Abstract

Our objective was to compare self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for U.S. veterans with multiple sclerosis (MS) on disease-modifying agents with provider reports of HRQOL from standard disability measures. We conducted a 3-year prospective observational study of 204 subjects who used interferon beta or glatiramer acetate and compared subjects' responses on the Veterans Short-Form 36 (VSF-36) (36-item short-form functional status assessment for veterans) with the Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the Functional System (FS) scales, which are standard MS disability scales. EDSS and FS scores were significantly correlated with some VSF-36 domains (physical function [r = -0.57], role physical [r = -0.37], and physical component summary [r = -0.40]) and weakly correlated with other domains. HRQOL scores did not predict disability or compliance with therapy. We observed decrements in HRQOL at relatively low disability levels. HRQOL measures directly associated with physical function were correlated with standard MS disability scales. Researchers need to clarify the role of HRQOL in clinical outcomes assessment, as shown by the lack of outcome sensitivity and predictive value of the VSF-36. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Determination of the optimal dose of renal replacement therapy in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury has been controversial. Questions have recently been raised regarding the design and execution of the US Department of Veterans Affairs/National Institutes of Health Acute Renal Failure Trial Network (ATN) Study, which demonstrated no improvement in 60-day all-cause mortality with more intensive management of renal replacement therapy. In the present article we present our rationale for these aspects of the design and conduct of the study, including our use of both intermittent and continuous modalities of renal support, our approach to initiation of study therapy and the volume management during study therapy. In addition, the article presents data on hypotension during therapy and recovery of kidney function in the perspective of other studies of renal support in acute kidney injury. Finally, we address the implications of the ATN Study results for clinical practice from the perspective of the study investigators.
