353 Background: Postoperative chronic kidney disease (PCKD), defined as a glomerular filtration rate of < 60mL/min/1.73m2, is a recognized adverse outcome after extirpative therapy for small renal masses (SRM, ≤ 4cm). We quantified the long-term economic and clinical costs of PCKD following radical and partial nephrectomy for the management of SRM. Methods: Using a Markov model, we evaluated open and laparoscopic approaches for radical and partial nephrectomy in the treatment of SRMs. The base case was a 65-year old healthy individual with a unilateral SRM and normal renal function. We used a 3-month cycle length, lifetime horizon, societal perspective, and 3% discount rate. The costs, quality of life adjustments, and transition probabilities were estimated from the literature, Medicare, and expert opinion. Health outcomes were measured in quality-adjusted life-years (QALY) gained and costs in 2008 U.S. dollars. The model was tested with sensitivity analyses. Results: The average discounted lifetime outcomes are listed in the Table. There were minimal differences between the open and laparoscopic approaches. PCKD led to a substantial increase costs and decrease in health outcomes. The impact of PCKD was indirectly associated with age. Conclusions: Partial nephrectomy provides cost-savings and improved health outcomes compared to radical nephrectomy in the management of patients with SRMs. Both procedures incur significant economic and clinical costs due to the development of PCKD. A discussion about the potential for PCKD should be incorporated into the informed consent for surgical treatment of SRMs. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Introduction: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study to assess the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its severity in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on direct medical costs, and the effects of economic burden on CKD related complications in T2DM in Singapore. Methods: A total of 1,275 T2DM patients were recruited by the diabetes centre at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital from 2011–2014. CKD stages were classified based on improving global outcome (KDIGO) categories, namely the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria kidney disease. Medical costs were extracted from the hospital administrative database. Results: CKD occurred in 57.3% of patients. The total mean cost ratio for CKD relative to non-CKD was 2.2 (P<0.001). Mean (median) baseline annual unadjusted costs were significantly higher with increasing CKD severity—S$1,523 (S$949), S$2,065 (S$1,198), S$3,502 (S$1,613), and S$5,328 (S$2,556) for low, moderate, high, and very high risk respectively (P<0.001). CKD (P<0.001), age at study entry (P=0.001), Malay ethnicity (P=0.035), duration of diabetes mellitus (DM; P<0.001), use of statins/fibrates (P=0.021), and modified Diabetes Complications Severity Index (DCSI) (P<0.001) were positively associated with mean annual direct medical costs in the univariate analysis. In the fully adjusted model, association with mean annual total costs persisted for CKD, CKD severity and modified DCSI. Conclusion: The presence and increased severity of CKD is significantly associated with higher direct medical costs in T2DM patients. Actively preventing the occurrence and progression in DM-induced CKD may significantly reduce healthcare resource consumption and healthcare costs.

Abstract Background Several studies have shown favorable results using IVUS-guided PCI. Nevertheless, patient background in which use of IVUS is effective is not well elucidated. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) tend to have complex coronary artery lesions. We sought to assess the impact of IVUS guidance on clinical outcomes in these patients. Methods Kumamoto Intervention Conference Study is a multicenter registry which has enrolled consecutive patients who underwent PCI in 16 centers in Japan. Between August 2008 and March 2014, 11,195 consecutive patients were enrolled in this registry. To elucidate the efficacy of IVUS usage in DM and CKD patients, 10,822 consecutive subjects with 1-year follow-up data were analyzed. In this patient population, 69.2% (n=7,493) of patients were treated with IVUS-guided PCI. Patients were divided into 4 groups: the No Risk Group, the DM only Group, the CKD only Group, and the DM+CKD Group. Results Maximum stent diameter, post dilatation rate, usage of distal protection device, and rotational atherectomy rate were significantly higher in the IVUS-guided PCI patients in all 4 groups. 1-year MACE (cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and MI with stent thrombosis) was significantly lower in the IVUS-guided PCI patients than angiography-guided PCI patients in each subset, except for the No Risk Group. In contrast to angiography-guided PCI patients, there were no significant differences among the 4 groups as regards 1-year MACE in the IVUS-guided PCI patients except for the DM+CKD Group. In multiple regression analysis, IVUS usage was an independent negative predictor for 1-year MACE in the DM only Group (HR=0.374, 95% CI 0.194–0.719, p=0.003) and in the CKD only Group (HR=0.604, 95% CI 0.379–0.962, p=0.010). When the No Risk Group was used as a reference, the HR has increased according to increased risk factors in the angiography-guided PCI patients, but such tendency was not necessarily observed in the IVUS-guided PCI patients (Table). Risk Stratification of DM and CKD Variable IVUS-Guided PCI Angiography-Guided PCI HR 95% CI P HR 95% CI P The No Risk Group Reference – – Reference – –   vs. the DM only Group 0.627 0.321–1.227 0.173 2.036 1.090–3.804 0.026   vs. the CKD only Group 1.334 0.795–2.237 0.275 2.730 1.541–4.836 0.001   vs. the DM+CKD Group 2.114 1.287–3.474 0.014 2.225 1.160–4.266 0.016 Conclusion The efficacy of IVUS usage as regards 1-year MACE was confirmed in DM and CKD patients, but not observed in patients without them or in the combination of DM and CKD patients.

Identification and management of dyslipidemia in childhood can reduce future cardiovascular risk. We performed a retrospective cohort study of children ages 2 to 18 years during 2009 to 2013 to evaluate factors that affect screening and treatment of pediatric dyslipidemia related to 2011 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) guidelines. Logistic regression analysis determined the impact of NHLBI-identified factors on odds of being screened, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and receiving pharmacotherapy. A total of 1 736 032 children were included; 113 780 (6.6%) were screened for dyslipidemia. Screening in 9 to 11 year olds increased from 2009 to 2012. Of children screened, 18 801 (16.5%) had elevated LDL-C; 425 (2.3%) were treated pharmacologically. Parental dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, Kawasaki disease, human immunodeficiency virus infection, nephrotic syndrome, liver, thyroid, and other endocrine disorders increased odds of screening. Older age, nephrotic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension increased odds of having elevated LDL-C and receiving treatment. Pediatric dyslipidemia screening rates remain low.
