IntroductionBy applying on two-sample Mendelian randomization and systematic review and meta-analysis we investigated the association between caffeine and coffee intake with prevalent CKD and markers of renal function.Material and methodsFor the individual data analysis we analysed the NHANES data on renal function markers and caffeine intake. MR was implemented by using summary-level data from the largest ever GWAS conducted on coffee intake (N=91,462) and kidney function.ResultsFinally, we included the data of 18,436 participants, 6.9% had prevalent CKD (based on eGFR). Caffeine intake for general population was 131.1±1.1 mg. The percentage of participants with CKD, by caffeine quartile was 16.6% in the first (lowest) quartile, 13.9% in the second, 12.2% in the third and 11.0% in the top quartile (p<0.001). After adjustment, for increasing quartiles for caffeine consumption, mean urine albumin, albumin-creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) did not change significantly (p>0.234). In fully adjusted logistic regression models, there was no significant difference in chances of CKD prevalence (p-trend=0.745). In the same line, results of MR showed no impact of coffee intake on CKD (IVW=β: -0.0191, SE: 0.069, p=0.781), on eGFR (overall= IVW= β: -0.0005, SE: 0.005, p=0.926) both in diabetic (IVW= β: -0.006, SE: 0.009, p=0.478), and non-diabetic patients (IVW= β: -6.772, SE: 0.006, p=0.991).

Abstract Background The reported relationship between coffee intake and renal function is poorly understood. Purpose By applying on two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) and systematic review and meta-analysis we investigated the association between caffeine and coffee intake with prevalent CKD and markers of renal function. Methods For the individual data analysis we analysed the NHANES data on renal function markers and caffeine intake. MR was implemented by using summary-level data from genome-wide association studies conducted on coffee intake (N=91,462) and kidney function (N=133,413). Inverse variance weighted method (IVW), weighted median-based method, MR-Egger, MR-RAPS, MR-PRESSO were applied. Random effects models and generic inverse variance methods were used for the meta-analysis. Results Finally, we included the data of 18,436 participants, 6.9% had prevalent CKD (based on eGFR). Caffeine intake for general population was 131.1±1.1 mg. The % of pts. with CKD, by caffeine quartile was 16.6% in Q1 (lowest), 13.9% in Q2, 12.2% in Q3 and 11.0% in Q4 (p<0.001). After adjustment, for increasing quartiles for caffeine consumption, mean urine albumin, albumin-creatinine ratio and eGFR did not change significantly (p>0.234). In fully adjusted logistic regression models, there was no significant difference in chances of CKD prevalence (p-trend=0.745) (Table). In the same line, results of MR showed no impact of coffee intake on CKD (IVW=β: −0.0191, SE: 0.069, p=0.781) (Figure), on eGFR (overall= IVW= β: −0.0005, SE: 0.005, p=0.926) both in diabetic (IVW= β: −0.006, SE: 0.009, p=0.478), and non-diabetic patients (IVW= β: −6.772, SE: 0.006, p=0.991). Results from the meta-analysis indicted that coffee consumption was not significantly associated with CKD (OR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.71–1.02, p=0.090, n=6 studies, I2=0.32). These findings were robust in sensitivity analyses.

Objective: Caffeine has been considered a trigger for atrial fibrillation (AF). We conducted a meta-analysis including a dose-response analysis to assess the relationship between caffeine consumed and incidence of AF. Methods: Data from selected studies represented 176,675 subjects (AF in 9,987 [5.7%]). Caffeine content varied widely, ranging from 40 to 180 mg per cup of coffee. For purposes of the calculations in this study, we assumed 140 mg of caffeine in a standard 12-oz cup of coffee. Results: No significant difference was found in AF incidence when the subjects consuming less than 2 cups of coffee per day were compared to subjects with higher consumption, 1.068 (0.937–1.216). The risk of AF was higher among subjects consuming less than 2 cups of coffee daily when compared to higher daily consumption subjects. A lower incidence of AF was found among people consuming more than 436 mg daily. Conclusion: The incidence of AF is not increased by coffee consumption. In fact, we found a lower incidence of AF when caffeine consumption exceeded 436 mg/day. Therefore, based on available evidence there is no association between caffeine intake and AF risk.

Background: Caffeine is a widely consumed chemical having controversial effects. Caffeine may interact with the satiety and may be associated with stress levels. The prevalence of caffeine consumption among call centre employees is known to be high. The aim of the study was to assess the caffeine intake, appetite levels, stress levels and correlate these parameters among call centre employees aged between 25-35 yearsMethods: A cross sectional study with purposive sampling was carried out among a call centre at Mumbai, India. Anthropometric measurements and structured questionnaires were used for data collection.  Results: The average caffeine intake was 200mg/day through coffee and 150mg/day through tea among the habitual consumers. As per the scoring categories of modified appetite questionnaire (CNAQ), 54.7% (n=64) of the participants were at risk to abnormally low appetite. The stress questionnaire results showed that 84.6% (n=99) of the participants were at high risk to stress. Significant negative association was found between coffee intake and appetite score (r- 0.55, p<0.001), indicating that with more coffee consumption the appetite score was lower, similarly significant negative association was seen between tea consumption and appetite score (r- 0.300, p<0.05). Habitual smoking along with daily coffee intake had a significant negative association with appetite score (r- 0.476, p<0.05). Significant difference (p<0.01) was observed between the mean appetite score of habitual smokers and non-smokers; mean appetite score of non-smokers was greater.Conclusions: Caffeine had a negative impact on the appetite levels. Smoking was observed to worsen the effect of caffeine on appetite.

BackgroundResults from earlier publications on the association of coffee and caffeine and risk of ovarian cancer are inconsistent.ObjectiveTo evaluate the link between coffee, caffeine, caffeinated coffee, and decaffeinated coffee consumption and risk of ovarian cancer.MethodsWe searched PubMed/Medline, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify relevant publications up to April 2018. All case–control studies that considered coffee, caffeine, caffeinated coffee, or decaffeinated coffee as the exposure variables and ovarian cancer as the main outcome variable or as one of the outcomes were included in the systematic review. Publications in which odds ratios (ORs) or rate or risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported, were included in the meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 22 case–control studies were included in the systematic review, and 20 studies in the meta-analysis. Overall, 40 140 participants, including 8568 patients with ovarian cancer, aged ≥ 17 years were included. Combining 21 effect sizes from 18 studies, no significant association was observed between total coffee intake and risk of ovarian cancer (OR=1.09; 95% CI 0.94 to 1.26). There was no significant association between total caffeine intake and ovarian cancer risk (OR=0.89; 95% CI 0.55 to 1.45). In addition, caffeinated coffee intake was not significantly associated with ovarian cancer (OR=1.05; 95% CI 0.87 to 1.28). However, combining effect sizes from five studies, we found an inverse significant association between decaffeinated coffee intake and risk of ovarian cancer (OR=0.72; 95% CI 0.58 to 0.90).ConclusionsOur findings indicated an inverse association between decaffeinated coffee consumption and risk of ovarian cancer. No significant association was found between coffee, caffeine or caffeinated coffee intake and risk of ovarian cancer.

AbstractWhether renal function is causally associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is not yet fully elucidated. We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to determine the causal effect of renal function, measured as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), on VTE. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with eGFR were selected as instrumental variables at the genome-wide significance level (p < 5 × 10−8) from a meta-analysis of 122 genome-wide association studies including up to 1,046,070 individuals. Summary-level data for VTE were obtained from the FinnGen consortium (6913 VTE cases and 169,986 non-cases) and UK Biobank study (4620 VTE cases and 356,574 non-cases). MR estimates were calculated using the random-effects inverse-variance weighted method and combined using fixed-effects meta-analysis. Genetically predicted decreased eGFR was significantly associated with an increased risk of VTE in both FinnGen and UK Biobank. For one-unit decrease in log-transformed eGFR, the odds ratios of VTE were 2.93 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.25, 6.84) and 4.46 (95% CI 1.59, 12.5) when using data from FinnGen and UK Biobank, respectively. The combined odds ratio was 3.47 (95% CI 1.80, 6.68). Results were consistent in all sensitivity analyses and no horizontal pleiotropy was detected. This MR-study supported a casual role of impaired renal function in VTE.

The preterm-born adult population is ever increasing following improved survival rates of premature births. We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate long-term effects of preterm birth on renal function in preterm-born survivors. We searched PubMed and EMBASE to identify studies that compared renal function in preterm-born survivors and full-term-born controls, published until 2 February 2019. A random effects model with standardized mean difference (SMD) was used for meta-analyses. Heterogeneity of the studies was evaluated using Higgin’s I2 statistics. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa quality assessment scale. Of a total of 24,388 articles screened, 27 articles were finally included. Compared to full-term-born controls, glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow were significantly decreased in preterm survivors (SMD −0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI), −0.85 to −0.22, p = 0.0008; SMD −0.39, 95% CI, −0.74 to −0.04, p = 0.03, respectively). Length and volume of the kidneys were significantly decreased in the preterm group compared to the full-term controls (SMD −0.73, 95% CI, −1.04 to −0.41, p < 0.001; SMD −0.82, 95% CI, −1.05 to −0.60, p < 0.001, respectively). However, serum levels of blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and cystatin C showed no significant difference. The urine microalbumin to creatinine ratio was significantly increased in the preterm group. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were also significantly elevated in the preterm group, although the plasma renin level did not differ. This meta-analysis demonstrates that preterm-born survivors may be subject to decreased glomerular filtration, increased albuminuria, decreased kidney size and volume, and hypertension even though their laboratory results may not yet deteriorate.

Objective To describe caffeine consumption during pregnancy and its association with low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth in the birth cohort of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2010. Methods Cohort study, with descriptive and analytical approach. Data included 7,607 women and their newborns in Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The women answered standardized questionnaires about reproductive health, prenatal care, life habits, sociodemographic conditions, and information about coffee intake. The independent variable was high caffeine consumption (≥300 mg/day) from coffee during pregnancy, and the dependent variables were LBW (birth weight < 2,500 g) and preterm birth (< 37 weeks of gestational age). Four adjusted polytomous logistic regression models, relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were fitted: biological and sociodemographic conditions; obstetric history; current gestational conditions; and all variables included in the previous models. Results A total of 4,908 (64.5%) mothers consumed caffeine, 143 (2.9%) of whom reported high consumption. High caffeine intake was significantly associated with reduced education and with the occupation of the head of the family, nonwhite skin color, not having a partner, higher parity, previous abortion and preterm birth, urinary tract infection, threatened abortion, alcohol consumption and smoking. No association was found between high caffeine consumption and LBW or preterm birth in both unadjusted (RR = 1.45; 95% CI: 0.91–2.32; and RR = 1.16; 95% CI: 0.77–1.75, respectively) and adjusted analyses (RR = 1.42; 95% CI: 0.85–2.38; and RR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.65–1.63, respectively). Conclusion In this cohort, high caffeine intake was lower than in other studies and no association with LBW or preterm birth was found.

Abstract Introduction Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and dementia are common forms of neurodegenerative cognitive decline in aging populations. Alertness, attention, and sleep patterns are often impaired in dementia and MCI and can affect ongoing cognition. Given the current lack of treatment options, it is important to identify protective factors. Caffeine is a commonly consumed substance which has been demonstrated in previous observational studies to have a protective effect on the onset of MCI and the progression of MCI to AD. Methods A meta-analysis of longitudinal prospective cohort studies published up to December 2017 was conducted comparing highest vs lowest reported category of caffeine consumption on neurodegenerative outcomes. Three databases were searched including PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. Two investigators independently extracted data and assessed study quality. 13 studies were selected including 94880 participants. The effect size was reported as RRs with ORs and HRs treated as approximations of the RRs. Results A meta-analysis conducted using random effects showed a pooled RR of .84, 95% CI (0.75, 0.93) indicating a moderate protective effect in higher levels of caffeine consumption compared to lower levels. By outcome, AD had a RR of 1.14 with 95% CI (0.69, 1.90); dementia had a RR of 0.81 (0.72, 0.92); cognitive decline had a RR of 0.81 (0.55, 1.18); and MCI had a RR of 0.78 (0.65, 0.93). Conclusion Overall this meta-analysis suggests that compared with the lowest category, the highest caffeine intake category is inversely related to the incidence of age-related cognitive disorders, with this relationship being most apparent for dementia and MCI. Given that caffeine is well accepted and consumed widely in a variety of forms, caffeine in moderate doses, may prove beneficial in sustaining cognitive functioning. Further work will examine the hypothesis that increased alertness and attention with caffeine may sustain cognition through use dependent plasticity or circadian modulation. Support None

Objective The present study aimed to evaluate renal function, complications, and changes in tumor size after transarterial embolization for patients with renal angiomyolipomas. Methods We performed a meta-analysis of transarterial embolization in patients with renal angiomyolipomas from January 1994 to April 2018. Endpoints of interest were the estimated glomerular filtration rate, serum creatinine levels, blood urea nitrogen levels, complications, and reduction of tumors. Results A total of 30 studies comprising 653 patients were included. A total of 32.0% of patients were treated by urgent transarterial embolization for spontaneous ruptured renal angiomyolipomas. Other patients sought to relieve symptoms or received embolism prophylactically. The estimated glomerular filtration rate showed no significant difference between before and after embolization. In 363 patients with data on complications, post-embolization syndrome occurred most frequently (54.0%). Only 16 (4.4%) patients had major complications. The diameter of sporadic angiomyolipomas was reduced by a mean of 2.09 cm (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.73–3.45 cm; I2 = 29.3%) and they were reduced in size by 30.0% (95% CI, 16.0%–44.0%; I2 = 27.9%). Conclusions Transarterial embolization of renal angiomyolipomas affects renal function preservation, with a low complication rate. Transarterial embolization is useful for sporadic and tuberous sclerosis complex-related angiomyolipomas.

Evidence on the beneficial effects of resveratrol supplementation on cardiovascular disease-related profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is conflicting, while its impact on renal function and blood pressure measurements remains to be established in these patients. The current meta-analysis included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on the impact of resveratrol supplementation on markers of renal function and blood pressure in patients with T2D on hypoglycemic medication. Electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and EMBASE were searched for eligible studies from inception up to June 2020. The random and fixed effects model was used in the meta-analysis. A total of five RCTs met the inclusion criteria and involved 388 participants with T2D. Notably, most of the participants were on metformin therapy, or metformin in combination with other hypoglycemic drugs such as insulin and glibenclamide. Pooled estimates showed that resveratrol supplementation in patients with T2D lowered the levels of fasting glucose (SMD: −0.06 [95% CI: −0.24, 0.12]; I2 = 4%, p = 0.39) and insulin (SMD: −0.08 [95% CI: −0.50, 0.34], I2 = 73%, p = 0.002) when compared to those on placebo. In addition, supplementation significantly lowered systolic blood pressure (SMD: −5.77 [95% CI: −8.61, −2.93], I2 = 66%, p = 0.02) in these patients. Although resveratrol supplementation did not affect creatinine or urea levels, it reduced the total protein content (SMD: −0.19 [95% CI: −0.36, −0.02]; I2 = 91%, p = 0.001). In all, resveratrol supplementation in hypoglycemic therapy improves glucose control and lowers blood pressure; however, additional evidence is necessary to confirm its effect on renal function in patients with T2D.
