Abstract

Clinical use of finite element analysis requires validation and reproducibility studies. The current study compared two models of vertebral bodies including endplates, on the same experimental dataset and evaluated the influence of the operator on the failure load. Models used were strongly correlated (R2=0.91). The intra-operator reproducibility was 6.4% and 3.5 % for each model. Both simulated results were close to experimental results. The differences in performance could be associated to the differences in segmentation process, mesh (hexahedral vs tetrahedral), material representation and failure criteria. Linear analysis did not decrease model accuracy. Comparison with literature for accuracy and precision shows a wide range of values partly related to the different experimental datasets and the different modelling approaches. Models benchmark using the same experimental dataset are needed to go towards clinical applications., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables

Abstract

The WorldSID program was set up to develop a new, worldwide acceptable, advanced technology, side impact crash test dummy for improved assessment of injury risk to car occupants in lateral collisions. Following the release of the mid-sized male WorldSID, the development of the small female WorldSID dummy was initiated by the EC 6th Framework collaborative research project ‘APROSYS’ in 2004. The main specifications and requirements of the new dummy have been defined in terms of anthropometry, biomechanical response and instrumentation capabilities in general and per body segment. An overview of the specification is given in this paper. Two prototype dummies have been evaluated against a first set of test conditions. Test results are presented here, including pendulum impactor, linearly guided impactor, drop and sled tests. For a prioritised matrix of biomechanical test conditions, the dummy responses were compared against the biomechanical human response requirements. Furthermore, the dummy’s repeatability in well-controlled test conditions and its sensitivity to temperature were studied and its compliance to anthropometric requirements is reported. Following the assessment of the dummy’s current biofidelity and maturity, recommendations for further dummy improvements are given in the conclusions.

Abstract

Early referral is a major goal in chronic kidney diseases; however, loss to follow-up, potentially limiting its advantages, has never been studied.In order to assess the prevalence and causes of loss to follow-up, a telephone inquiry was performed in a renal outpatient unit, mainly dedicated to early referral of diabetic patients. Patients were considered to be in follow-up if there was at least one check-up in the period February 2001-February 2002, and lost to follow-up if the last check-up had occurred in the previous year. The reasons for loss to follow-up were related to typical clinical-biochemical parameters to define a "drop-out profile".195 patients were on follow-up: median creatinine 1.4 mg/dL, age 64, 76.9% diabetics. 81 patients were lost to follow-up: creatinine 1.4 mg/dL, age 70, 73.8% diabetics. A telephone number was available in 87.6% of the cases; 25 were not found, 7 had died, 24 were non-compliant, 1 was bed-ridden, 12 had changed care unit, 2 had started dialysis. Renal care was shorter in those lost to follow-up; among the latter, serum creatinine and age were significantly lower in non-compliant patients. A logistic regression model confirmed the significance of lower serum creatinine at last check-up in non-compliant patients (p=0.018).Loss to follow-up is a problem in nephrology; lack of awareness probably causes the higher drop-out rate at lower creatinine levels. The initial period of care may be crucial for long-term compliance. Further studies are needed to tailor organizational and educational interventions.

Abstract

Daily hemodialysis (DHD) is an interesting dialysis option, experienced worldwide by only a few hundred patients, because of clinical and logistic limitations. This study describes the main clinical and implementation results of a flexible policy applied in starting a DHD program.The setting is the University Nephrology Center of Turin, Italy (approximately 150 hemodialysis and 50 peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients) where in November 1998 a short daily DHD program was started. Outcome measures were logistical (enrollment rate, indications and drop-outs) and clinical (dialysis efficiency, metabolic control, hypertension and anemia control).25 patients experienced DHD, 16 (11% of the hemodialysis pool) were on DHD in November 2001; overall the DHD follow-up was 409.1 months (median 18, range 0.7-36 months). Flexibility was applied to schedules (patients modulated dialysis time and could switch to 3-4 sessions/wk); treatment setting (home: 11 patients, limited care center: 13; alternate settings: one); clinical selection (23/25 patients with comorbidity). Main reasons for choice were poor tolerance of previous schedule and the search for "best" treatment. Five patients dropped out (work reasons), one died on DHD and three were grafted. As compared to baseline, dialysis efficiency increased (EKRc pre-DHD 14.5 +/- 2.1 mL/min; 17.4 +/- 2.8 mL/min and 17.7 +/- 3.5 mL/min at 1-6 months; p0.000). Despite the potentially confusing effect of comorbidity, the main clinical data improved.A flexible approach allowed development of DHD in approximately 11% of hemodialysis patients, with promising clinical results, despite frequent comorbidity.

Abstract

In Italy, dialysis reimbursement is regulated by the "Tariffario delle prestazioni ambulatoriali" (G.U. N 216, 14/9/1996), which does not take into account separately the dialysis sessions performed in hospitalised patients. In these cases the dialysis activity is considered within the final DRG (Diagnosis Related Group). Aim of the study was an analysis of production costs of dialysis performed in hospitalised patients, according to the setting in which dialysis is performed (Intensive Care Units (ICUs), other Units, hospital dialysis ward).The direct production costs were assessed by the "bottom-up" technique logic (cost definition from the single elements needed for producing the treatment) referring to specific Cost Centres. The main items considered were health-care staff, dialysis supplies and hardware, blood tests, dialysis data recording and transmission.During the year 2000, there were 4,450 treatments performed in 490 patients. They included 924 haemodialyses in ICUs; 2,531 in the nephrology hospital dialysis ward; 602 peritoneal dialysis treatments in ICUs-other wards, 393 in the nephrology ward. Direct cost per haemodialysis treatment ranged from 276.05 E (UF) to 413.46 E (HF) in ICU, from 170.47 E (Bicarbonate Haemodialysis) to 275.36 E (Slow Haemofiltration) in hospital dialysis ward; for peritoneal dialysis between 128.95 E (CAPD in dialysis ward) and 282.10 E (CAPD in ICU/other Units). During the year 2000, the global cost of production was 1,038,346.65 E.The cost of dialysis in hospitalised patients is high. A dedicated budget is needed to avoid deficits, particularly in highly specialised Units of large referral hospitals.

Abstract

Home hemodialysis is usually considered a superior therapy, whose decline is related to demographic, social, psychological and financial factors as well as to competition with renal transplantation and PD.A home hemodialysis program was started in November 1998 in the University of Torino, Italy (200-210 patients on dialysis). Its main features are the tailoring of dialysis schedules and the acceptance of patients with comorbidity. Nurses assist home sessions in case of short-term problems, while the training center ensures follow-up for long-term clinical and logistic problems.The program started in November 1998 on a previous one (active from 1970 to 1998; 6 patients on treatment in November 1998). Since then, 25 more patients joined the program. Out of 31 patients followed since November 1998, 4 were grafted, 2 died, and 2 dropped out from training. In June 2001, 15 patients were on home hemodialysis, 8 on training. Dialysis schedules and controls are flexible and tailored; in June 2001, range of dialysis time was 1.20-5 h; sessions: 2-6; 8 patients were on thrice-weekly dialysis, 7 on daily dialysis; all patients reached target EKRc10 ml/min (median 15, range 11-24 ml/min).Tailored, flexible schedules allowed home hemodialysis in over 10% of our patients, confirming that there is still room for this treatment in our setting.
