Social history and glaucoma progression: the effect of body mass index, tobacco and alcohol consumption on the rates of structural change in patients with glaucoma

Research Abstract

Background/aims: Although obesity, tobacco and alcohol consumption were linked to the progression of numerous chronic diseases, an association of these social history aspects with glaucoma progression is not yet determined. This study aims to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) and history of tobacco and alcohol use on the rates of retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) change over time in glaucoma patients.

Methods: 2839 eyes of 1584 patients with glaucoma from the Duke Ophthalmic Registry were included. Patients had at least two spectral-domain optical coherency tomography (SD-OCT) tests over a minimum 6-month follow-up. Self-reported history of alcohol and tobacco consumption was extracted from electronic health records and mean BMI was calculated. Univariable and multivariable linear mixed models were used to determine the effect of each parameter on RNFL change over time.

Results: Mean follow-up time was 4.7±2.1 years, with 5.1±2.2 SD-OCT tests per eye. 43% and 54% of eyes had tobacco or alcohol consumption history, respectively, and 34% were classified as obese. Higher BMI had a protective effect on glaucoma progression (0.014 µm/year slower per each 1 kg/m2 higher; p=0.011). Tobacco and alcohol consumption were not significantly associated with RNFL change rates (p=0.473 and p=0.471, respectively). Underweight subjects presented significantly faster rates of structural loss (-0.768 µm/year; p=0.002) compared with normal weight.

Conclusions: In a large clinical population with glaucoma, habits of tobacco and alcohol consumption showed no significant effect on the rates of RNFL change. Higher BMI was significantly associated with slower rates of RNFL loss.

Does the Inverted Kidney Transplantation Technique Promote the Feasibility and Safety of Right Living Donor Nephrectomy?

Research Abstract

Objective:

The aim of this study is to compare the outcomes of right-and left-sided live donor nephrectomies using the inverted kidney transplantation technique for right live donor nephrectomy on transplantation.

Material and methods:

A retrospective review was done for the cases of live donor nephrectomy, either as open donor nephrectomy or laparoscopic donor nephrectomy between 2004 and 2019. Inverted kidney transplantation was used with right-sided grafts. The variables of the right-and left-sided live donor nephrectomies were compared.

Results:

There were 202 live donor nephrectomies including 71 (35.1%) open donor nephrectomies and 131 (64.9%) laparoscopic donor nephrectomies with 4 cases of conversion to open donor nephrectomy. There were 119 (58.9%) right-sided and 83 (41.1%) left-sided live donor nephrectomies with insignificantly different mean operative time (123 and 127 minutes; P …

Reasons and effects of the decline of willing related potential living kidney donors

Research Abstract

Although the availability of related living donors (LDs) provides a better chance for receiving kidney transplantation (KT), the evaluation protocols for LD selection remain a safeguard for the LD’s safety. These protocols are variable from one center to another, resulting in variable rates of decline of the potential LDs (PLDs). The decline of willing PLDs may occur at any stage of evaluation, starting from the initial contact and counseling to the day of operation.

AIM

To identify the causes of the decline of PLDs, the predictors of PLD candidacy, and the effect on achieving LDKT.

METHODS

A retrospective study was performed on the willing PLDs who attended our outpatient clinic for kidney donation to their related potential recipients between October 2015 and December 2022. The variables influencing their candidacy rate and the fate of their potential recipients were studied.
