ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective Kidney shortage for pediatric kidney transplantation (PKT) entails the need to use low-weight and age donors, despite the apprehension. The aim of this study was to analyze the pediatric deceased donor kidney transplantations (pDDKT) outcomes in the first year after the procedure, stratified by donor age. Method Retrospective cohort of pDDKTs carried out between January 2013, and January 2018, at a PKT reference hospital in Southern Brazil. Donors were divided into group 1 (≤ 6 years), and group 2 (> 6 years); the analysis of the outcomes was carried out in the same period. Results There were 143 pDDKTs; 51 (35.66%) in group 1; and 92 (64.34%) in group 2. In both groups there were 17 graft losses (11.8%), with vascular thrombosis as the main cause (group 1: 5; group 2: 4). Among the complications, renal artery stenosis (RAS) with indication for angioplasty and stenting was more frequent in group 1 (7.8%; group 2: 2.2%). The 1-year Renal Transplant Recipients' and graft survival did not show significant differences between the groups, (p= = 0.95). However, the Glomerular Filtration Rate analysis was higher in group 2, reaching, in the 12th month, 79.3 mL/min/1,73m2, compared to 69.7 mL/min/1,73m2 in group 1(p= = 0.033). Conclusions Small donors can be considered for pDDKTs, as long as there is an expert team to perform the transplantation.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) over a 10-year period at the Reference Service in Neonatal Screening of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RSNS-RS). Subjects and methods: Historical cohort study including all newborns screened for CH by the RSNS-RS from January 2008 until December 2017. Data of all newborns with neonatal TSH (neoTSH; heel prick test) values ≥ 9 mIU/L were collected. According to neoTSH values, the newborns were allocated into two groups: Group 1 (G1), comprising newborns with neoTSH ≥ 9 mIU/L and serum TSH (sTSH) < 10 mIU/L, and Group 2 (G2), comprising those with neoTSH ≥ 9 mIU/L and sTSH ≥ 10 mIU/L. Results: Of 1,043,565 newborns screened, 829 (0.08%) had neoTSH values ≥ 9 mIU/L. Of these, 284 (39.3%) had sTSH values < 10 mIU/L and were allocated to the G1 group, while 439 (60.7%) had sTSH ≥ 10 mIU/L and were allocated to the G2 group, and 106 (12.7%) were considered missing data. The overall incidence of CH was 42.1 per 100,000 newborns screened (95% confidence interval [CI] 38.5-45.7/100,000) or 1:2377 screened newborns. The sensibility and specificity of neoTSH ≥ 9 mIU/L were 97% and 11%; of neoTSH 12.6 mUI/L, 73% and 85% respectively. Conclusion: In this population, the incidence of permanent and transitory CH was 1:2377 screened newborns. The neoTSH cutoff value adopted during the study period showed excellent sensibility, which matters for a screening test.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: The guidelines recommend estimating the glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine-based equations as a predictor of kidney disease, preferably adjusted for local population groups. Methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated the performance of four equations used for estimating GFR compared to endogenous creatinine clearance (ClCr) in 1,281 participants. Modification of Diet equations in Renal Disease Study Group (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI), CKD-EPI with adjustment for local population (CKD-EPI local) and Full Age Spectrum (FAS) in comparison with endogenous creatinine clearance (ClCr). We used the Quantile Regression to calculate the median bias, interquartile range (IQR), Bland-Altman agreement analysis and 30% margin of error (P30). Results: The mean age of participants was 52.5 ± 16.5 years with 466 women (38%), median ClCr[IQR] of 92.0 [58.0; 122.0] mL/min/1.73 m2, with 320 (25%) participants presenting ClCr < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The performance of the local CKD-EPI and FAS equations were superior to MDRD and CKD-EPI in relation to variability (0.92 [0.89; 0.94]) and P30 (90.5% [88.7; 92, 0]). In the group with ClCr < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, the local CKD-EPI and FAS equations showed less variability than the CKD-EPI and MDRD (0.90 [0.86; 0.98] and 1.05 [0.97; 1.09] vs. 0.63 [0.61; 0.68] and 0.65 [0.62; 0.70], P < 0.01) and best P30 (85.5) % [81.0; 90.0], 88.0% [84.0; 92.0] vs. 52.0% (46.0; 58.0) and 53.0% [47.0; 58 .5], P < 0.01). Conclusion: Local CKD-EPI and FAS equations performed better than CKD-EPI and MDRD when compared to ClCr.


Resumo Introdução: As diretrizes recomendam a estimativa da taxa de filtração glomerular pelo uso de equações baseadas em creatinina sérica como preditor de doença renal, preferencialmente ajustadas para grupos populacionais locais. Métodos: Estudo transversal que avaliou o desempenho de quatro equações para estimativa da TFG em comparação com a depuração de creatinina endógena (DCE) em 1.281 participantes.

Resultados: A idade média dos participantes era de 52,5 ± 16,5 anos com 466 mulheres (38%), mediana da DCE [IQR] de 92,0 [58,0; 122,0] mL/min/1,73 m2, com 320 (25%) participantes apresentando DCE < 60 mL/min/1,73 m2. A performance das equações CKD-EPI local e FAS foram superiores às MDRD e CKD-EPI em relação à variabilidade (0,92 [0,89; 0,94]) e P30 (90,5% [88,7; 92,0]). No grupo com DCE < 60 mL/min/1,73 m2, as equações CKD-EPI local e FAS apresentaram menor variabilidade que as CKD-EPI e MDRD (0,90 [0,86; 0,98] e 1,05 [0,97; 1,09] vs. 0,63 [0,61; 0,68] e 0,65 [0,62; 0,70], P < 0,01) e melhores P30 (85,5% [81,0; 90,0], 88,0% [84,0; 92,0] vs. 52,0% (46,0; 58,0) e 53,0% [47,0; 58,5], P < 0,01). Conclusão: As equações CKD-EPI local e FAS tiveram desempenho superior às CKD-EPI e MDRD, quando comparadas a DCE.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: a avaliação e intervenção motora possibilitam minimizar os atrasos no desenvolvimento motor de crianças prematuras. Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o desenvolvimento motor de crianças prematuras, de 0 a 12 meses de idade corrigida, após intervenção baseada em orientações aos pais. Metodologia: a amostra foi composta por 43 bebês nascidos prematuros e para avaliação do desempenho motor foi utilizada a Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), além de dois questionários qualitativos para identificação e controle dos fatores de risco. Foi utilizada estatística descritiva e os testes de Wilcoxon e McNemar para analisar as mudanças ao longo do tempo (p < 0,05). Resultados: através do follow-up, após as orientações aos pais, o número de bebês que apresentavam desempenho motor abaixo do esperado foi reduzido. Os percentis obtidos no desempenho motor nos dois momentos avaliativos indicam que houve melhora ao longo do tempo (p = 0,05), assim como os dados referentes à categorização (p = 0,04). Conclusões: é importante o acompanhamento e identificação da influência dos fatores de risco sobre os bebês para que medidas interventivas possam ser implementadas precocemente, sendo o modelo baseado em orientações um método de baixo custo e de fácil aplicabilidade em serviços públicos de saúde.


AbstractIntroduction: motor assessment and intervention makes it possible to minimize delays in motor development of premature children. Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the motor development of premature children, from 0 to 12 months of corrected age, after an intervention based on guidance to parents. Methodology: The sample consisted of 43 babies born prematurely and to assess motor performance, the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) was used, in addition to two qualitative questionnaires to identify and control risk factors. Descriptive statistics were used and the Wilcoxon and McNemar tests to analyze changes over time (p < 0.05). Results: through the follow-up, after the guidance to the parents, the number of babies that presented motor performance below the expected was reduced, with statistical significance. The percentiles obtained in the motor performance in the two evaluation moments indicate that there was an improvement over time (p = 0.05), as well as the data related to the categorization (p = 0.04). Conclusion:it is important to monitor and identify the influence of risk factors on babies so that interventional measures can be implemented early, and the model based on guidelines is a low-cost and easily applicable method in public health services.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Secondary hyperoxalemia is a multifactorial disease that affects several organs and tissues in patients with native or transplanted kidneys. Plasma oxalate may increase during renal failure because it is cleared from the body by the kidneys. However, there is scarce evidence about the association between glomerular filtration rate and plasma oxalate, especially in the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods: A case series focuses on the description of variations in clinical presentation. A pilot study was conducted using a cross-sectional analysis with 72 subjects. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and plasma oxalate levels were measured for all patients. Results: Median (IQR) GFR was 70.50 [39.0; 91.0] mL/min/1.73 m2. Plasma oxalate was < 5.0 µmol/L in all patients with a GFR > 30 mL/min/1.73m2. Among the 14 patients with severe CKD (GFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) only 4 patients showed a slightly increased plasma oxalate level (between 6 and 12 µmol/L). Conclusion: In non-primary hyperoxaluria, plasma oxalate concentration increases when GFR < 30mL/min/1.73 m2 and, in our opinion, values greater than 5 µmol/L with a GFR > 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 are suggestive of primary hyperoxaluria. Further studies are necessary to confirm plasma oxalate increase in patients with low GFR levels (< 30mL/min/1.73 m2).


RESUMO Introdução: A hiperoxalemia secundária é uma doença multifatorial que afeta vários órgãos e tecidos em pacientes com rins nativos ou transplantados. O oxalato plasmático pode aumentar durante a insuficiência renal porque é eliminado do corpo pelos rins. No entanto, há evidências escassas sobre a associação entre taxa de filtração glomerular e oxalato plasmático, especialmente nos estágios iniciais da doença renal crônica (DRC). Métodos: uma casuística centrada na descrição das variações na apresentação clínica. Foi realizado um estudo piloto a partir da análise transversal com 72 indivíduos. As taxas de filtração glomerular (TFG) e os níveis plasmáticos de oxalato foram medidos para todos os pacientes. Resultados: A TFG mediana (IIQ) foi de 70,50 [39,0; 91,0] mL/min/1,73 m2. O nível plasmático de oxalato foi < 5,0 µmol/L em todos os pacientes com TFG > 30 mL/min/1,73 m2. Entre os 14 pacientes com DRC grave (TFG < 30 mL/min/1,73 m2), apenas quatro apresentaram ligeiro aumento do nível plasmático de oxalato (entre 6 e 12 µmol/L). Conclusão: Na hiperoxalúria não primária, a concentração plasmática de oxalato aumenta quando TFG < 30 mL/min/1,73 m2 e, em nossa opinião, valores superiores a 5 µmol/L com TFG > 30 mL/min/1,73 m2 sugerem presença de hiperoxalúria primária. Estudos adicionais são necessários para confirmar o aumento do oxalato plasmático em pacientes com níveis baixos de TFG (< 30 mL/min/1,73 m2).

ABSTRACT

Abstract Purpose To assess the impact of pre-pregnancy obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m2) on the gestational and perinatal outcomes. Methods Retrospective cohort study of 731 pregnant women with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 at the first prenatal care visit, comparing them with 3,161 women with a BMI between 18.5 kg/m2 and 24.9 kg/m2. Maternal and neonatal variables were assessed. Statistical analyses reporting the demographic features of the pregnant women (obese and normal) were performed with descriptive statistics followed by two-sided independent Student's t tests for the continuous variables, and the chi-squared (χ2) test, or Fisher's exact test, for the categorical variables. We performed a multiple linear regression analysis of newborn body weight based on the mother's BMI, adjusted by maternal age, hyperglycemic disorders, hypertensive disorders, and cesarean deliveries to analyze the relationships among these variables. All analyses were performed with the R (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria) for Windows software, version 3.1.0. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Obesity was associated with older age [OR 9.8 (7.8-12.2); p < 0.01], hyperglycemic disorders [OR 6.5 (4.8-8.9); p < 0.01], hypertensive disorders [OR 7.6 (6.1-9.5); p < 0.01], caesarean deliveries [OR 2.5 (2.1-3.0); p < 0.01], fetal macrosomia [OR 2.9 (2.3-3.6); p < 0.01] and umbilical cord pH [OR 2.1 (1.4-2.9); p < 0.01). Conversely, no association was observed with the duration of labor, bleeding during labor, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes after birth, gestational age, stillbirth and early neonatal mortality, congenital malformations, and maternal and fetal injury. Conclusion We observed that pre-pregnancy obesity was associated with maternal age, hyperglycemic disorders, hypertension syndrome, cesarean deliveries, fetal macrosomia, and fetal acidosis.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o impacto da obesidade pré-gestacional (índice de massa corpórea [IMC] ≥30 kg/m2) sobre os resultados gestacionais e perinatais. Métodos Estudo transversal retrospectivo, com 731 gestantes que apresentaram IMC ≥ 30 kg/m2 na primeira consulta de pré-natal, comparando-as a 3.161 gestantes com IMC entre 18,5 kg/m2 e 24,9 kg/m2. Foram avaliadas variáveis maternas e neonatais. A análise estatística baseou-se nas características demográficas das gestantes (obesas e com peso normal), e foi realizada com estatísticas descritivas seguidas de testes t de Student independentes bicaudais para variáveis contínuas, e teste de qui-quadrado (χ2) ou exato de Fisher para as variáveis categóricas. Foi realizada uma regressão linear múltipla do peso do recém-nascido sobre o IMC materno, ajustado por idade materna, síndromes hiperglicêmicas, síndromes hipertensivas hipertensivas e operações cesarianas, a fim de analisar a relação entre essas variáveis. Todas as análises foram realizadas com o uso de R (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Viena, Áustria) para Windows, versão 3.1.0. Um valor de p < 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significante. Resultados A obesidade associou-se à idade materna [OR 9,8 (7,8-12,2); p < 0,01], distúrbios hiperglicêmicos [OR 6.5 (4,8-8,9); p < 0,01], distúrbios hipertensivos (RP: 7,6 [6,1-9,5]; p < 0,01), maior taxa de operação cesariana [OR 2,5 (2,1-3,0); p < 0,01], macrossomia fetal [OR 2,9 (2,3-3,6); p < 0,01] e baixo pH na artéria umbilical [OR 2,1 (1,4-2,9); p < 0,01]. Não foi observada associação com tempo de trabalho de parto, sangramento durante o trabalho de parto, índice de Apgar no 1° e 5° minutos, idade gestacional, natimortalidade e mortalidade neonatal precoce, malformações congênitas e tocotraumatismo materno e fetal. Conclusões O estudo mostrou que a obesidade pré-gestacional associou-se com idade materna mais elevada, distúrbios hiperglicêmicos e hipertensivos, taxas mais altas de operação cesariana, macrossomia e acidose fetal.
