Introduction: The population is aging and older adults comprise the majority of patients in intensive care units. Colistin (COL) has been reintroduced to treat increasingly common resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections. Our study aims to investigate the factors affecting colistin nephrotoxicity in the general population and geriatric age group. Materials and Method: This retrospective study included 170 patients, 116 (68.2%) of which were in the geriatric group (age ≥65). Acute renal failure was evaluated using the RIFLE score. Firstly, factors associated with COL nephrotoxicity in the general population were investigated. Then, risk factors for COL nephrotoxicity were evaluated in the geriatric patient group. Results: Advanced age (odds ratio [OR]=1.043; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.018-1.068; p=0.001) and initial serum creatinine level (OR=23.122; 95% CI: 3.123-171.217; p=0.002) were found to be independent risk factors associated with nephrotoxicity. In the evaluation of the geriatric population-based on nephrotoxicity, the initial serum urea and creatinine levels, immunosuppression, and overall mortality rates were found to be statistically significant in the group with nephrotoxicity (p<0.05). Initial serum creatinine level (OR=22.48; 95% CI: 2.835-178.426; p=0.003) and concomitant nephrotoxic agent use (OR=2.516; 95% CI: 1.275-4.963; p=0.008) were independent risk factors associated with nephrotoxicity in geriatric patients. Conclusion: Advanced age was found to be a risk factor for COL nephrotoxicity. Caution should be exercised especially in geriatric patients who have initial serum creatinine levels close to the upper limit, concomitant use of nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided and if possible, evaluation should be made in terms of non-COL treatment options in these patients.

Introduction: There is little evidence to describe risk factors for dementia in a Thai general population. Hypothesis: This study was aimed to examine factors associated with the risk of developing dementia in a Thai general population in Ubon Ratchathani. Methods: Data on 761,935 men and women participating in the Health Check Ubon Ratchathani (HCUR) Project in 2006-7 were merged with diagnostic information from hospital’s electronic medical records in the following 5 years (2006-2012). Using a retrospective cohort study design, we examined the incidence of physician-diagnosed dementia over 5 years. Factors independently associated with the risk of developing dementia were examined using multivariate cox proportional hazard regression. Results: Over a total time at risk of 4,407,201 person-years, 519 individuals developed dementia, the incidence rate of dementia was 0.12 (95%CI 0.11-0.13) per 1,000 person-years. Factors independently associated with the risk of developing dementia in multivariate cox regression included increasing age, diabetes and lack of physical exercise. The risk of dementia rose by 9% for every one year of age older (Hazard ratio (HR) of 1.09 (1.08-1.09), p<0.001). Diabetes increased the risk of dementia by almost 2 times (HR 1.67 (1.26-2.23), p<0.05). Compared to no physical exercise, regular physical exercise of 3-5 days/week and >5 days/week reduced the risk of dementia by 36% and 57% (HR 0.64 (0.52-0.78) and 0.43 (0.28-0.67) respectively). These associations remained significant after controlling for sex, hypertension, systolic blood pressure, smoking, body mass index, waist circumference, high salt diet and alcohol drinking. Discussion: In this Thai general population, the incidence of dementia was modest and its independent risk factors included increasing age, diabetes and lack of physical exercise. Regular physical exercise may counter balance aging process, the main drive of dementia. The more physical exercise you do, the lower risk of dementia.

Abstract Background It is important to determine the risk factors that predispose elderly subjects from the general population for symptomatic atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (AF/AFl), but population-based data for silent AF (SAF) are limited. Aim To study risk factors for symptomatic AF and SAF in a general population screen for subjects age ≥65 where continuous monitoring was performed up to 30 days with a vest-based monitor. Methods The NOMED-AF study was a cross-sectional study based on a representative population sample (n=3014; mean age 77.5±7.9 years; F=1479). In 680 subjects AF/AFl (including 279 with SAF) was diagnosed. Independent risk factors for AF/AFl and SAF were determine on weighted data using multiple logistic regression. Results The independent risk factors for AF/AFl and SAF are summarised in the Table. There are nine independent risk factors for AF/AFl and eight for SAF. Revascularization and obesity were independently associated with patients with (symptomatic) AF/AFl, and CKD was associated with SAF. Other risk factors are common for AF/AFl and SAF. Conclusions AF/AFl and SAF have slightly different associated clinical risk factors in this representative population sample aged ≥65 years. This may facilitated targeted screening programmes for high risk subgroups, particularly for SAF. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Public Institution(s).

Agricultural workers can be exposed to a wide variety of agents (e.g. pesticides), some of which may have adverse health effects, such as cancer. To study the health effects of agricultural exposures, an international consortium of agricultural cohort studies, AGRICOH, was established. The present analysis compared cancer incidence between the AGRICOH cohorts and the general population and found lower overall cancer incidence in the AGRICOH cohorts, with some variation across cohorts for specific cancer types. The observed lower cancer incidence may be due to healthy worker bias or lower prevalence of risk factors in the agricultural populations. Further analysis is underway.
