Is functional mobility an independent mortality risk factor in subjects with dementia?
2017
Abstract Objective To investigate whether functional mobility is a predictor of 12-month mortality in elderly subjects with dementia. Study design Prospective multicentre study performed in nine French university hospitals. Patients aged 75 years or more and hospitalised in medical wards via the emergency department were eligible. Those with a diagnosis of dementia were considered in the analyses. Main outcome measures Patients’ characteristics obtained through comprehensive geriatric assessment performed during the first week of hospitalisation. Functional mobility was assessed using the timed “Up & Go” test. The main outcome was time to death within the 12 months of follow-up. Bivariable …
Absence of Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Antibodies in 200 Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus With or Without Lupus Nephritis: Results of…
2020
IntroductionAnti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies are pathogenic antibodies first detected in renal-limited anti-GBM disease and in Goodpasture disease, the latter characterized by rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis combined with intra-alveolar hemorrhage. Studies have suggested that anti-GBM antibody positivity may be of interest in lupus nephritis (LN). Moreover, severe anti-GBM vasculitis cases in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been described in the literature, but few studies have assessed the incidence of anti-GBM antibodies in SLE patients.ObjectiveThe main study objective was to determine if positive anti-GBM antibodies were present …
