Changes in renal function over time in outpatients with eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m 2: implication for timing of renal function testing before contrast-enhanced CT imaging. Jpn J Radiol 2023; 41:994-1006. [PMID: 37040025 PMCID: PMC10469099 DOI: 10.1007/s11604-023-01425-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/12/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the associations between comorbidities and kidney function decline at 6-month and 1-year follow-up in outpatients with initial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. MATERIALS AND METHODS Outpatients aged 18 and older with confirmed diagnosis, who had eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 measured between April 2017 and March 2019, were included in this retrospective observational study. Of them, 30,595 included outpatients had 6-month eGFR test and 27,698 included outpatients had 1-year eGFR test. The outpatients were further divided into two groups based on initial eGFR: between 30 and 59 and ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Impaired renal function was defined as eGFR declined to below 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. The comorbidities with P values less than 0.1 identified in univariable logistic regression models were entered into the multivariable analysis with backward selection, thereby identifying comorbidities that increased the risk of eGFR decline at 6-month and 1-year follow-up. RESULTS Outpatients with initial eGFR between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73 m2 were 175.94 times more likely to have eGFR decline at 6 months, and were 94.10 times more likely to have eGFR decline at 1 year, compared with their corresponding initial eGFR ≥ 60 counterparts. Multivariable logistic regression analyses disclosed that chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and heart failure were independent risk factors for eGFR decline in outpatients with initial eGFR between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73 m2. CONCLUSIONS Outpatients with initial eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 might not need routine eGFR test prior to contrast-enhanced CT scan for 1 year. In addition, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and heart failure increased the risk of declined renal function, particularly, in outpatients with initial eGFR between 30 and 59 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Ischemia prediction score (IsPS) in patients with strangulated small bowel obstruction: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:133. [PMID: 37095434 PMCID: PMC10124058 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-023-02761-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Intestinal ischemia of strangulated small bowel obstruction (SSBO) requires prompt identification and early intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors and develop a prediction model of intestinal ischemia requiring bowel resection in SSBO. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients underwent emergency surgery for SSBO from April 2007 to December 2021. Univariate analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for bowel resection in these patients. Two clinical scores (with contrasted computed tomography [CT] and without contrasted CT) were developed to predict intestinal ischemia. The scores were validated in an independent cohort. RESULTS A total of 127 patients were included, 100 in the development cohort (DC) and 27 in the validation cohort (VC). Univariate analysis showed that high white blood cell count (WBC), low base excess (BE), ascites and reduced bowel enhancement were significantly associated with bowel resection. The ischemia prediction score (IsPS) comprised 1 point each for WBC ≥ 10,000/L, BE ≤ -1.0 mmol/L, ascites, and 2 points for reduced bowel enhancement. The simple IsPS (s-IsPS, without contrasted CT) of 2 or more had a sensitivity of 69.4%, specificity of 65.4%. The modified IsPS (m-IsPS, with contrasted CT) of 3 or more had a sensitivity of 86.7%, specificity of 76.0%. AUC of s-IsPS was 0.716 in DC and 0.812 in VC, and AUC of m-IsPS was 0.838 and 0.814. CONCLUSION IsPS predicted possibility of ischemic intestinal resection with high accuracy and can help in the early identification of intestinal ischemia in SSBO.

Abstract
This article updates readers as to what is new in the Japanese Breast Cancer Society Clinical Practice Guidelines for Breast Cancer Screening and Diagnosis, 2018 Edition. Breast cancer screening issues are covered, including matters of breast density and possible supplemental modalities, along with appropriate pre-operative/follow-up diagnostic breast imaging tests. Up-to-date clinical practice guidelines for breast cancer screening and diagnosis should help to provide patients and clinicians with not only evidence-based breast imaging options, but also accurate and balanced information about the benefits and harms of intervention, which ultimately enables shared decision making about imaging test plans.

Abstract
Administration of intravenous contrast media to children is a routine practice at many clinical imaging centers, that can involve special considerations. In this paper, we provide practical information to facilitate optimal performance and oversight of this task. We provide targeted screening questions that can help to identify high-risk pediatric patients for both iodine-based and gadolinium-based intravenous contrast media administration. These include children at risk for allergic-like reactions, thyroid dysfunction, contrast-induced nephropathy, and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. We make recommendations for addressing "yes" responses to screening questions using risk stratification schema that are specific to children. We also present criteria for selecting children for premedication prior to intravenous contrast administration, and suggest pediatric regimens. Additionally, we discuss practical nuances of intravenous contrast media administration to children and provide a quick-reference table of appropriate treatments with pediatric dosages for adverse contrast reactions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety of gadobutrol for magnetic resonance imaging in a prospective, non-interventional, post-marketing surveillance in Japan. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gadobutrol was administered in accordance with Japanese prescribing information over a 2-year enrollment period, using a standardized questionnaire to collect information. The primary outcome was the incidence of adverse reactions (ARs) following gadobutrol injection. RESULTS Questionnaire data were analyzed for 3337 patients (age, 58.1 ± 17.4 years [mean±SD]). Gadobutrol was administered at a dose of 0.10 ± 0.02 mL/kg body weight. Thirty-three patients were observed to have 42 ARs suspected to be due to gadobutrol, an incidence proportion of 0.99%; 29 ARs were acute (<1 h post-injection)-including one case of severe acute AR (0.03%). Patient subpopulations (with hepatic, renal, cardiovascular diseases) did not differ markedly in AR proportions categorized by age, sex, presence of comorbidity, or imaging indication. No cases of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis were reported. Investigators rated images as improved or profoundly improved following gadobutrol injection in 91.1% of examinations. CONCLUSION Gadobutrol was well tolerated with a good safety profile in this post-marketing surveillance of a large patient population in Japan.

Abstract
Gadolinium-based contrast agents have been used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations since the late 1980s with an excellent overall cumulative safety record. Initially favored for use in patients with renal impairment because of lack of significant nephrotoxic effect at clinical doses, in 2006, multiple reports convincingly linked the rare but serious disease nephrogenic systemic fibrosis to the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents in patients with severe renal failure. This in turn led to new policies on administration of these agents, resulting in changes in practice patterns that have virtually resulted in the elimination of the disease after the year 2009. The purpose of this review is to summarize the factors that led to the emergence of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, including the risk associated with different types of contrast agents based on their stability, and the changes in practice patterns and usage of gadolinium-based contrast agents in recent years that have been mainly driven by the discovery and association with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. The article will conclude with a brief overview of new emerging safety concerns that could further impact the use of this class of contrast agents and impact practice patterns in the future.
