AbstractAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of traumatic injury; however, long-term outcomes such as mortality and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have been rarely reported in this important patient population. We compared the long-term outcome of vehicle-traumatic and non-traumatic AKI requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT). This nationwide cohort study used data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Vehicle-trauma patients who were suffered from vehicle accidents developing AKI-RRT during hospitalization were identified, and matching non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients were identified between 2000 and 2010. The incidences of ESKD, 30-day, and long-term mortality were evaluated, and clinical and demographic associations with these outcomes were identified using Cox proportional hazards regression models. 546 vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT patients, median age 47.6 years (interquartile range: 29.0–64.3) and 76.4% male, were identified. Compared to non-traumatic AKI-RRT, vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT patients had longer length of stay in hospital [median (IQR):15 (5–34) days vs. 6 (3–11) days; p < 0.001). After propensity matching with non-traumatic AKI-RRT cases with similar demographic and clinical characteristics. Vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT patients had lower rates of long-term mortality (adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 0.473; 95% CI, 0.392–0.571; p < 0.001), but similar rates of ESKD (HR, 1.166; 95% CI, 0.829–1.638; p = 0.377) and short-term risk of death (HR, 1.134; 95% CI, 0.894–1.438; p = 0.301) as non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients. In competing risk models that focused on ESKD, vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT patients were associated with lower ESKD rates (HR, 0.552; 95% CI, 0.325–0.937; p = 0.028) than non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients. Despite severe injuries, vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT patients had better long-term survival than non-traumatic AKI-RRT patients, but a similar risk of ESKD. Our results provide a better understanding of long-term outcomes after vehicle-traumatic AKI-RRT.

Abstract   Low skeletal muscle mass and density are independent predictors of clinical outcomes in multiple gastrointestinal cancers. However, its effect on the long-term survival of locally advanced esophageal cancer patients undergoing radical radiotherapy is still unclear. Methods Patients with stage II-III esophageal cancer undergoing radical radiotherapy, enrolled in a observational cohort study, were included. Skeletal muscle mass and density were measured on CT. Patients with high and low skeletal muscle mass and density were compared regarding overall survival (OS). Results 165 patients (75.8% males, median age 63) were included, from March-2012 to September-2017. Before radiotherapy, 26.7% patients had low skeletal-muscle-mass and 23.0% patients had low skeletal-muscle-density. After radiotherapy, 40.6% patients had low skeletal-muscle-mass and 30.3% patients had low skeletal-muscle-density.The median OS of high skeletal-muscle-mass/density group was significantly higher than that of low skeletal-muscle-mass/density group before radiotherapy (28.7 vs 28.2 months, p = 0.041; 29.6 vs 16.9 months, p = 0.025). The median OS of high skeletal-muscle-mass/density group was also significantly higher than that of low skeletal-muscle-mass/density group after radiotherapy (30.3 vs 20.3 months, P = 0.012; 29.6 vs 17.2 months, p = 0.018). Conclusion Low skeletal muscle mass and density are associated with long-term outcome in patients undergoing radical radiotherapy. It is suggested that oncologists should pay more attention to the management of muscle mass and density of patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy in order to improve their nutritional status and long-term survival.
