Acute Care Utilization

Introduction: Early emergency department and hospital re-admissions are common in renal transplant recipients, but data are lacking in unique populations. Study Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify patient risk factors for multiple acute care utilization events within the first year of renal transplantation. Design: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of adult renal transplant recipients between 9/2013-9/2016. Patients were compared across number of emergency department visits and by hospital re-admissions. Diagnoses were categorized. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to assess risk for multiple acute care utilization events within the first 12 months post-transplant. Results: A total of 216 patients were analyzed and were on average 50.5 (SD 13.9) years old, redominantly Black (49.77%) with an average body mass index of 33.33 (9.8) and were recipients of deceased donor renal transplants (61.11%). A total of 105 (48.6%) patients visited the emergency epartment and 119 (55.1%) patients had a hospital readmission. Patients having a body mass index >35 kg/m2 did not differ across emergency department visit or hospitalization groups. Delayed graft function (OR 2.86, 95% CI 1.07-7.65) and previous renal transplant (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.04-7.39) were significantly associated with multiple acute care utilizations. Discussion: Acute care utilization following renal transplantation was similar to previously reported experiences. Obesity did not impact use of acute care resources or patient outcomes. Strategies addressing potential preventable emergency visits and hospital re-dmissions should be promoted.

The management of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in the era of SARS-CoV-2 is challenging given minimal published clinical data. We used a large cohort of patients with AIH across the USA to investigate the differences in known risk factors for severe SARS-CoV-2 and AIH characteristics among patients who experienced symptoms consistent with COVID-19 illness versus those who did not. Additionally, we explored the effect of living through the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the extrahepatic symptoms and behaviors of patients with AIH. An invitation to complete a COVID-19-specific questionnaire was publicized in well-established social media cohorts of patients with AIH. Eligibility criteria were age ≥18 years, US residency, and an AIH diagnosis by a physician. A total of 420 individuals were eligible for the study. Symptoms consistent with COVID-19 were reported in 11% (n=48) with 3 patients requiring hospitalizations. Body mass index (BMI) >40 kg/m2 (23% vs 10%, p=0.01) and exposure to house (33% vs 3%, p=0.0001) or work (38% vs 17%, p=0.02) contacts with COVID-19 were factors found higher in those with symptoms. Cirrhosis or steroid use or immunosuppression was not significantly different between symptomatic and non-symptomatic groups. Worsening fatigue (45% vs 30%, p=0.06), anxiety (89% vs 70%, p=0.08), and itch (40% vs 18%, p=0.03) were more common among those reporting COVID-19 symptoms compared with those without. BMI >40 kg/m2 and exposure to contacts with COVID-19 illness but not cirrhosis or immunosuppression were associated with increased risk of COVID-19 illness in patients with AIH.
