Graft loss occurred in 84 patients (21.6%). Predictors of CVE, survival and graft loss were age and the length of end-stage kidney disease. All scores performed well in assessing the risk for CVE (P  less then  0.01). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis using the ESC-SCORE, as an example, suggested a cut-off for risk stratification and cli…[Read more]

70, 95% CI 0.07 to 1.34, P = 0.03), compared with the non-compression bandage group. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups in post-operative pain scores at the other times, swelling, blood loss, ROM, or other complications (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The current evidence is unable to conclude that compression bandage…[Read more]

007). However, no gender-related SPI value differences emerged within each of the subgroups controls (p = 0.907), insomnia (p = 0.830), OSA (p = 0.070), and COMISA (p = 0.547). The presence of insomnia (β, - 0.101, p < 0.001) or OSA (β, - 0.082, p = 0.001), but not gender (β, - 0.017, p = 0.612), were independent predictors of the SPI.…[Read more]
