Drivers of Prolonged Hospitalization Following Spine Surgery: A Game-Theory-Based Approach to Explaining Machine Learning Models.

The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume
BACKGROUND: Understanding the interactions between variables that predict prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) following spine surgery can help uncover drivers of this risk in patients. This study utilized a novel game-theory-based approach to dev...

The Role of Chronic Renal Disease on the Linking Obesity/Hypertension.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Obesity is accompanied by several disorders. This study investigated the role of chronic renal disease on the linking obesity/hypertension (HTN). It also considered the importance of visceral obesity on renal disease with or without HTN. One hundred ...

Bariatric surgery and hemodialysis: A case report of a patient with less 40 kilograms and without dialysis.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Obesity is an important risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) may improve long-term kidney outcomes, but there is no agreement regarding the benefit and timing of BS in patients with end-stage renal disease. We present a 46-y...

Surgical management of secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients in Senegal.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of end-stage renal disease. Surgical management occurs in severe forms and/or unresponsive medical treatment. The aim of this study was to outline the indications of parathyroidectomy and ...

End-stage renal disease at dialysis initiation: Epidemiology and mortality risks during the first year of hemodialysis.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated by hemodialysis (HD) is a worldwide major public health problem. Its incidence is getting higher and higher, leading to an alarming social and economic impact. The survival of these patients is significantly low, ...

Effect of Ramadan Fasting on Chronic Inflammation and Body Composition in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a state of chronic inflammation which is responsible for many of the pathophysiological changes detected in these patients. Many studies have evaluated the effect of Ramadan fasting on renal function an...

Cytomegalovirus and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Co-infection in Renal Transplants: A Retrospective Study from a Single Center.

Saudi journal of kidney diseases and transplantation : an official publication of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation, Saudi Arabia
There is a scarcity of data regarding the impact of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection complicating the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) course. The objective of the study was to explore the clinical profile and outcome of CMV co-infection with COVID...
