Classical pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma in very young patients: the Italian experience
Many studies have reported a more favorable outcome in younger patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). The aims of this study were to find an appropriate age cutoff able to identify low-risk children and to describe the natural history of 135 very young patients affected by classic HL (cHL). The best age cutoff was identified at 7 years of age. EFS (p = .0451) and PFS (p = .00921) were significantly better in the group of younger patients. The OS rate at 10 years was 97.0% in the younger group and 92.5% in the older one (p = .0448). However, age was not found to be an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis and the better prognosis in younger patients seems to be related to more…
FC 079HIGH SERUM PHOSPHATE, A NOVEL POTENTIAL RISK FACTOR FOR BONE FRAGILITY FRACTURES IN THE COSMOS STUDY
Abstract Background and Aims Bone fragility fractures (bone fractures) are extremely frequent in haemodialysis (HD) patients. Serum phosphate (P) has been suggested as a risk factor for bone fracture, nonetheless, evidence is poor. The aim of this study was to assess the association between incidence of bone fractures and serum phosphate (P), calcium (Ca) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients from the COSMOS study. Method COSMOS is an observational, prospective, open cohort study with 3 years of follow-up including 6797 haemodialysis patients from 227 centres randomly selected from 20 European countries. At baseline, demographics, comorbidities, treatments, serum biochemical parameters …
P1394ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PARATHYROID HORMONE AND MORTALITY IN HAEMODIALYSIS: THE DIABETES MAKES THE DIFFERENCE
Abstract Background and Aims Diabetes is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 and a relevant risk factor for mortality. The available CKD-MBD guidelines do not make differences between diabetics and non-diabetics regarding the optimal targets of the serum bone and mineral biochemical parameters. Thus, the objective of this analysis of COSMOS was to compare the association between the main serum bone and mineral biochemical parameters (calcium-Ca, phosphorus-P and parathyroid hormone-PTH) and mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients in haemodialysis. Method COSMOS is a 3-year, observational, prospective, open-cohort study that includes 6797 patients from 227 d…
Influence of Antisynthetase Antibodies Specificities on Antisynthetase Syndrome Clinical Spectrum Time Course
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) is a rare clinical condition that is characterized by the occurrence of a classic clinical triad, encompassing myositis, arthritis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD), along with specific autoantibodies that are addressed to different aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS). Until now, it has been unknown whether the presence of a different ARS might affect the clinical presentation, evolution, and outcome of ASSD. In this study, we retrospectively recorded the time of onset, characteristics, clustering of triad findings, and survival of 828 ASSD patients (593 anti-Jo1, 95 anti-PL7, 84 anti-PL12, 38 anti-EJ, and 18 anti-OJ), referring to AENEAS (American and Europea…
