title: Supplementary Material for: Free 25-Vitamin D Is Correlated with Cardiovascular Events in Prevalent Hemodialysis Patients but Not with Markers of Renal Mineral Bone Disease

description: Free vitamin D is the biologically active form of vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of mortality in hemodialysis patients. The goal of our current study was to investigate the relation between blood concentrations of free 25-hydroxyvitamin D with cardiovascular events in end-stage chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis, because this is unknown so far. We measured free vitamin D levels in 117 stable consecutive prevalent patients in September as a surrogate of vitamin D exposure during the past 6 months, and recorded the number of cardiovascular events during the previous 6 months defined as hospitalization due to heart failure, episodes of acute coronary syndrome, and stroke. Fourteen events occurred during the observation period. In patients without any cardiovascular events the free vitamin D levels were significantly higher as compared to those with cardiovascular events (patients without events: 5.68 [4.37–9.27] pg/mL; patients with events: 4.74 [3.46–5.37] pg/mL, <i>p</i> = 0.015). This finding remained stable after multiple regression analysis considering confounding factors such as age, time on dialysis, preexisting diabetes, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. In conclusion, our study shows that free vitamin D serum concentrations are independently associated with major cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis.

title: Quality of life in persons with hearing loss: a study of patients referred to an audiological service

description: <b>Objective:</b> To investigate the relationship between hearing loss (HL) and general quality of life (QoL) in adults seeking hearing aids (HAs). <b>Design:</b> The patients completed the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire’s general part and a questionnaire measuring self-assessed communication ability (Abbreviated Profile of hearing Aid Benefit—APHAB). These responses were compared with EORTC scores from a general population and patients with former head and neck cancer. <b>Study sample:</b> One-hundred and fifty-eight adults with HL were recruited prior to hearing aid (HA) fitting with one half seeking renewal of their HA. <b>Results:</b> General QoL scores among patients with HL were similar to those in the general population, but higher than in many chronic serious diseases. Patients with unilateral HL reported slightly worse social function and more fatigue than patients with bilateral HL. Self-assessed communication ability correlated with general QoL scores. Also, we found that best ear pure tone average (PTA), cognitive and physical QoL function predicted APHAB scores. <b>Conclusion:</b> In the investigated HL group, general QoL scores seem to be relatively close to those seen in the general population.

title: Supplementary Material for: Contemporary Trends in Clinical Outcomes among Dialysis Patients with Medicare Coverage

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> The dialysis patient population in the United States continues to grow. Trends in rates of death and hospitalization among dialysis patients have important consequences for outpatient dialysis capacity and Medicare spending. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To estimate contemporary trends in rates of death and hospitalization among dialysis patients in the United States, overall and within subgroups. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We used Medicare Limited Data Sets (100% sample) in 2014–2017 to estimate trends in rates of death and hospitalization among dialysis patients with Medicare Parts A and B enrollment. We used seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average models to identify secular trends in the incidence of outcomes. <b><i>Results:</i></b> There were 631,075 unique patients; 222,924 deaths; and 1,876,779 hospital admissions. Weekly risks of both death and hospitalization exhibited strong seasonality. However, overall weekly risks of death were 34.9, 35.4, 35.2, and 35.7 deaths per 10,000 patients in 2014–2017, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.47, from a likelihood ratio test of secular trend). The overall weekly risk of hospitalization was 3.08, 3.05, 3.11, and 3.11% in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.30). There were significant secular trends in risk of death in subgroups defined by black race and residency in South Atlantic states (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). There were also secular trends in risk of hospitalization in subgroups defined by age 20–44 years, concurrent enrollment in Medicaid, and residency in South Central states. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> For the first time since the beginning of this century, rates of both death and hospitalization among dialysis patients with Medicare fee-for-service coverage have stagnated. The reasons for this change are unknown and require detailed assessment. Persistent lack of change in clinical outcomes may alter the future expectations about dialysis patient population growth.

title: The effects of aging and exercise on lung mechanics, surfactant and alveolar macrophages

description: <b>Purpose:</b> Advancing age leads to changes to the respiratory system associated with increased susceptibility to lung diseases, and exercise may counteract this effect. To explore the underlying processes, we investigated the effects of aging and exercise on lung mechanics, alveolar macrophage function, and surfactant pools and activity, in mice. It was hypothesized that aging would impact lung mechanics, macrophage polarization, and the status of the surfactant system, and that these changes would be mitigated by exercise. <b>Methods:</b> Male C57BL/6 mice were housed from 2-3 to 22 months, for the aged group, or until 4 months of age for young mice. Mice in both groups were randomized to voluntarily running exercise or to non-exercise, for a 2-month period. Mice were euthanized and lung mechanics were analyzed using a flexiVent ventilator. Subsequently, the lungs were lavaged to obtain pulmonary surfactant and alveolar macrophages. Pulmonary surfactant was analyzed for pool sizes and activity whereas alveolar macrophages were examined for response to pro and anti-inflammatory stimuli. <b>Results:</b> Changes in lung mechanics, such as increased compliance and decreased airway resistance, were associated with aging but were not affected by exercise. The quantity as well as the biophysical activity of the pulmonary surfactant system was unaffected by either aging or exercise. More alveolar macrophages were recovered from exercising aged mice compared to both the young and non-exercising groups. Macrophages in this aged exercise group were more responsive to an anti-inflammatory stimulus. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our data supports previous literature that suggest the development of emphysema-like alterations to lung mechanics with aging. This effect was independent of exercise. Our data also indicates that surfactant is unaffected by aging and exercise. Alveolar macrophage properties and numbers were affected by exercise in the aging lung and may represent the main, potentially beneficial, effect of exercise on the pulmonary system.
