d continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) and home hemodialysis (HD) with in-center HD patients. Methods: We included 968 patients who entered dialysis in the Helsinki-Uusimaa healthcare district in Finland from 2004 to 2017, of whom 162 were on CAPD, 229 on APD, 145 on home HD and 432 on in-center HD at day 90 from the start of dialysis. MACE was defined as acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or death due to cardiovascular disease. The cumulative incidence of the first MACE was calculated. Cox regression was used to compare risk of MACE between dialysis modalities with adjustment for potential confounding factors. Results: Of all 968 patients, 195 (20%) experienced a MACE during the entire follow-up and 62 (6%) during the first year of follow-up. The cumulative incidence of first MACE was similar in in-center HD and CAPD patients and higher than that in APD and home HD patients. After adjustment for possible confounders, the hazard ratio

as particularly beneficial and that exercise did not substantially increase harms. Background People living with CKD are at higher risk of cognitive impairment. Exercise may improve cognitive function. This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was completed to determine the efficacy and harms of exercise in improving cognitive function in people living with CKD. Methods A systematic literature review identified randomized controlled trials of people with any stage of CKD, with an intervention that exercised large-muscle groups, and with a validated outcome measure of cognitive function. First, harms were analyzed. Then a random-effects meta-analysis was completed with subsequent planned subgroup analyses to investigate heterogeneity between CKD stages and treatments; between different exercise types, durations, and intensities; and between different outcome methodologies. Finally, quality of evidence was rated. Results Nineteen trials randomized 1160 part

listing transplanted January 1st, 2010, to May 31st, 2022 (N=9,178) were included from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Recipients were stratified into three groups according to Material Community Deprivation Index score, with greater score representing higher neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation. Outcomes were modeled using multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Twenty-four percent (N=110) of recipients from neighborhoods of high socioeconomic deprivation identified as being of Black race, versus 12% (N=383) of recipients from neighborhoods of low socioeconomic deprivation. Neighborhoods of high socioeconomic deprivation had a much greater proportion of recipients identifying as being of Hispanic ethnicity (67%, N=311), versus neighborhoods of low socioeconomic deprivation (17%, N=562). The hazard of graft loss was 55% higher (aHR 1.55, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.94) for recipients from neighborhoods of high versus recipients from low s

semi-structured interviews with 12 living kidney donors. The survey was developed based on themes identified in the semi-structured interviews, guidance from the research and clinical teams, and feedback from pilot testing with six previous donors. Results: Most (73%) respondents received follow-up after the first donation year from a primary care provider, and 70% reported annual follow-up visits including blood and urine tests. Most (71%) received a follow-up reminder from their transplant center, and follow-up was higher (86% versus 68%) among those receiving reminders. Donors wanted specialist involvement if new health or kidney-related events occurred. Most (70%) were satisfied with their follow-up, and 66% endorsed annual life-long follow-up. Donors wanted more information about lifestyle and living donor outcomes and wanted to contribute to research to increase understanding of long-term donor health outcomes. Conclusions: Donors wanted annual lifelong follow-up including clinic
