The Impact

Abstract Background and Aims Two Vitamin K-dependent proteins (VDKPs) link bone and vasculature in CKD-MBD: Bone Gla Protein (BGP) and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP). In ESKD, Vitamin K deficiency is highly prevalent and leads to increased levels of inactive VKDPs (undercaboxylated (ucBGP and dephosphorylated (dp)-uMGP), which are linked to greater risk of fractures and severity of vascular calcification. We hypothesized that kidney transplantation (KT) would improve Vitamin K status and lower levels of inactive VKDPs. Method Between 2014-2017, we conducted a study in 34 patients to assess changes in VKDPs during the 1st year of KT. In a specialized lab we determined VKDPs pre- and 1-year post-KT: total BGP, uc BGP, total MGP, and dp-uc MGP. We determined the prevalence of Vitamin K deficiency based on levels of uc BGP and dp-uc MGP. Results Our cohort had a mean +/- SD age of 48+/-14 years, 32% were female and 97% were Caucasian. 1 year post-KT, there was a decrease in the levels of all VKDPs and the prevalence of Vitamin K deficiency (Table 1 and Figure 1). Patients with greatest severity of Vitamin K deficiency pre-KT had the largest decreases of inactive VDKPs post-KT. Conclusion KT was associated with improvement in Vitamin K status as manifested by decreased levels of inactive VKDPs. These are the first prospective data on VKDPs in CKD patients pre- and post-KT. Studies are needed to assess the impact of improvement in VKDP status after KT on CKD-MBD outcomes.

The Impact

Abstract Background Morbidity and mortality from candidemia remain unacceptably high. While infectious disease consultation (IDC) is known to lower the mortality from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, little is known about the impact of IDC in candidemia. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of candidemia patients at a large tertiary care hospital between 2015 and 2019. The crude mortality rate was compared between those with IDC and without IDC. Then, we systematically searched 5 databases through February 2020 and performed a meta-analysis of the impact of IDC on the mortality of patients with candidemia. Results A total of 151 patients met the inclusion criteria, 129 (85%) of whom received IDC. Thirty-day and 90-day mortality rates were significantly lower in the IDC group (18% vs 50%; P = .002; 23% vs 50%; P = .0022, respectively). A systematic literature review returned 216 reports, of which 13 studies including the present report fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Among the 13 studies with a total of 3582 patients, IDC was performed in 50% of patients. Overall mortality was 38.2% with a significant difference in favor of the IDC group (28.4% vs 47.6%), with a pooled relative risk of 0.41 (95% CI, 0.35–0.49). Ophthalmology referral, echocardiogram, and central line removal were performed more frequently among patients receiving IDC. Conclusions This study is the first systematic literature review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between IDC and candidemia mortality. IDC was associated with significantly lower mortality and should be considered in all patients with candidemia.
