Chronic disease is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Nutritional, lifestyle, hormonal, and other biologic factors are thought to be responsible for the increased chronic disease risk in women. Baseline dietary intake was measured by food frequency questionnaires and repeated 24-hour recalls in 275 premenopausal women. Data were used to evaluate adherence to 10 cancer prevention recommendations as outlined by the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute of Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR). The association between adherence and known chronic disease biomarkers was also assessed. WCRF/AICR recommendations were operationalized into eight scores related to body fatness, physical activity, dietary intake, and smoking status. These scores were compared with mammographic density and nipple aspirate fluid as well as biologic markers for chronic diseases found in serum (estrogens, insulin-like growth factor, C-reactive protein and γ-tocopherol) and urine (estrogens and F2-isoprostane). Results from Analysis of Variance detected weak associations with WCRF/AICR recommendations and the measured biomarkers. Analysis between BMI status and biomarker levels suggested obese women have higher levels of serum C-reactive protein (LS mean of 0.9 mg/L) compared to normal and overweight women (2.3 vs. 4.6 mg/L, respectively; p<0.0001). Obese women also had higher γ-tocopherol (LS mean of 1502 ng/mL) compared to normal and overweight women (1777 vs. 1988 ng/mL, respectively; p=0.02). Significant positive and inverse associations were also observed between both alcohol and red meat consumption and the majority of the biomarkers measured γ-tocopherol showed the most association of any biomarker with dietary intake. Additional research is needed in the area of nutrition and biomarkers to understand, which biomarkers may be influenced and how these associations relate to health outcomes. Findings from this study reinforce that biomarkers may be particularly beneficial in understanding the role overweight and obesity plays in the interaction between diet and disease.

▼ Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is common and is associated with increased risk of progression to end stage renal disease, cardiovascular disease and death. CKD is a heterogeneous condition and accurately predicting an individual’s risk for adverse outcomes remains a challenge. Over the past decade there has been a focus on the identification of novel biomarkers that may help improve risk stratification and the prediction of clinical endpoints in this population.The overall aim of this research project was to investigate a series of novel biomarkers in patients from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Standards Implementation Study (CRISIS), a prospective observational study of outcome in all cause non-dialysis dependent CKD 3-5. The biomarkers selected for this project were Anti-Apolipoprotein A-1 (Anti-apoA-1 IgG), fetuin-A, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (HS-cTnT), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG). These biomarkers were chosen to address the three clinical endpoints of progression, cardiovascular disease and death with biomarkers considered both individually and as groups of related markers.The first aim of this project was to examine associations between the novel biomarkers and the clinical characteristics of the CRISIS population. The second aim was to investigate the associations between novel biomarkers and the study endpoints. In the case of FGF23 longitudinal measurements were analysed and in all other cases associations between baseline levels of the markers and clinical outcomes were considered. The third aim was to consider whether the biomarkers investigated in this project actually improve parameters of risk stratification and model discrimination, thereby demonstrating a potential to improve the prediction of outcome events in the CKD population.Many of the biomarkers were independently associated with one or all of the clinical outcomes considered. Despite these associations, it was more difficult to demonstrate clear improvement in risk classification or the prediction of clinical endpoints. Baseline models of standard biochemical and clinical parameters performed very well so even biomarkers that were strongly associated with clinical outcomes resulted in only small incremental improvements in the prediction of outcome events. It is now important to focus on defining how biomarkers may fit into clinical decision pathways. Advisors/Committee Members: MIDDLETON, RACHEL RJ, Kalra, Philip, Middleton, Rachel.

▼ Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 3 million Canadians and these patients have a markedly increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. CKD patients have abnormal mineral metabolism and vitamin K status; dysfunctions that can accelerate the rate of vascular calcification. Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is a key tissue based inhibitor of calcification and is dependent on vitamin K for activity. In this thesis, an adenine-induced rat model of CKD was used to characterize quantitatively and temporally the impact of changing vitamin K status on the susceptibility of vessels to calcification. Treatment with the vitamin K antagonist warfarin, at therapeutic levels, significantly increased vessel calcification and the attendant circulatory consequences (higher pulse pressure and pulse wave velocity) whereas treatment with dietary vitamin K attenuated the pathogenesis. Vitamin K (K1) treatment increased the tissue levels of both forms of vitamin K (K1 and MK-4) in all the tissues studied. Vitamin K metabolism was clearly altered by CKD, in that there was a shift to lower K1 and higher MK-4 tissue content, resulting in an increased MK-4:K1 ratio. Although somewhat paradoxical, a decrease in the expression level of the MK-4 synthesizing enzyme UBIAD1 and the vitamin K recycling enzyme VKOR was found. This latter finding suggests that increased MK-4 was not due to an increase in production but rather to a decrease in utilization of MK-4. Patients with CKD are also known to be deficient in calcitriol. In this thesis the impact of two doses of calcitriol (20 ng/kg and 80 ng/kg), in the presence of low or high vitamin K status, on CKD-induced vascular calcification was assessed. Both calcitriol doses increased the severity of calcification regardless of vitamin K status. That is, contrary to the hypothesis, high dietary vitamin K1 was unable to attenuate the pro-calcification stimulus of calcitriol, and furthermore, warfarin treatment did not worsen it. The basis for these unanticipated findings points to the obese phenotype of the animals used potentially masking the potential benefits of calcitriol treatments, although this concept requires further study. Although several unexpected findings occurred, this thesis still fills some key gaps in knowledge pertaining to the role of vitamin K status in the development of vascular calcification during CKD and as a therapeutic intervention.

▼ Vascular calcification (VC) is accelerated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), resulting in increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although the consequences of VC are associated with elevated pulse wave velocity (PWV) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the temporal impact on blood pressure changes is unknown. Mineral imbalance in CKD greatly contributes to the development of VC, and elevated serum phosphate is a major risk factor. Magnesium, which plays an important role in bone regulation, has been recently shown to be a modifier of VC, but whether magnesium inhibits calcification in CKD is unknown. A modified adenine model of CKD was developed in rats, characterized by mineral imbalance and progressive VC. During the development of VC, pulse pressure increased, which was driven by a drop in diastolic blood pressure, rather than systolic hypertension. Continuous pressure recordings in conscious rats using radiotelemetry revealed a significant increase in systolic variability associated with development of VC. Regional VC was associated with regional changes in the hemodynamic profile of the CKD rats. For example, only thoracic aortic calcification was associated with elevated PWV and pulse pressure. In contrast, the presence of abdominal and thoracic calcification differentially affected proximal and distal arterial pressure wave forms. CKD animals exhibited LVH, which was further increased by the presence of VC. In addition, fibroblast growth factor 23, which regulates renal excretion of phosphate, was elevated in CKD animals at every time point and was associated with LVH independently from VC. Development of VC was characterized in an in vitro organ model. Phosphate elevation in vitro caused VC in aortas. In vitro, magnesium supplementation inhibited initiation and progression of VC. CKD animals given a magnesium diet also demonstrated attenuated development of VC. In patients with stage 3-5 CKD (excluding dialysis), dietary phosphate was associated with the progression of coronary artery calcification even after adjusting for use of phosphate binders, total dietary energy and total dietary protein. Given the serious negative outcomes associated with development of VC, these findings fill key gaps in knowledge regarding the detection, management, prevention and treatment of VC in CKD.

Advancing health equity requires explicit consideration of the factors that prevent the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. Racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in chronic conditions such as obesity and hypertension persist. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities acknowledged the need to consider disparities in 1) health care access and quality, 2) community conditions that provide access to resources which support health, and in 3) adequate scientific data on race, ethnicity, and other factors that would help in understanding the barriers faced by groups experiencing disparities. This dissertation explores chronic disease disparities spanning clinical practice, community intervention, and epidemiologic surveillance. Chapter 1 answers the call of the Action Plan, by examining disparities in health care quality. Given well-documented racial/ethnic disparities in health care quality, and emerging evidence exploring the influence of weight bias and stigma on quality of care, we examined differences in obesity-related care in pediatric care settings by race/ethnicity and parent weight status. We found no evidence of consistent differences in obesity-related care by race/ethnicity or parent weight status after accounting for predictors that could influence care received. Chapter 2 examined the effectiveness of a community-level intervention in reducing the percent of high sodium (>200mg) prepackaged products in 21 institutions serving those disproportionately burdened by hypertension. After the intervention, the percent of high sodium prepackaged foods decreased significantly from 29.0% at baseline to 21.5% at follow-up. The change was primarily driven by sodium reductions in hospital cafeterias and kiosks. This study adds to the evidence-base of community-level sodium reduction initiatives. Chapter 3 examines trends and gaps in diet quality at the intersection of race/ethnicity with education and nativity. Diet quality scores have been low overall, with small improvements only for some population subgroups between 1999-2012. U.S.-born Blacks, regardless of education status, and others with lower levels of education experience the lowest diet quality scores, and are seeing the least amount of improvement over time. Nativity was also found to be an important factor that reveals distinct patterns in diet quality regardless of race/ethnicity.

BACKGROUND: Total testosterone in men decreasing with age is well-established. However, observations on aging-related decrease in total testosterone (TT) are not consistent. The aim of this study is to seek the relationship between testosterone and health status and investigate the influence of the chronic disease to testosterone level. METHODS: A total of 4,284 aged ≥ 40 year old men were included between 2008 and 2013. The subjects divided to two groups (chronic disease group versus normal group). Blood tests results and clinical data, including serum total testosterone, were checked and compared between the groups. RESULTS: Our data showed that 2,041 subjects had chronic diseases (47.6%), and 2,243 were normal (52.4%). Total testosterone and age(r=0.032, P=0.034), HDL(r=0.133, P<0.001) had positive correlation, respectively. On the other hand, BMI(r=-0.198, P<0.001), waist circumference(r=-0.184, P<0.001), blood pressure, ALT(r=-0.132, P<0.001), fasting sugar(r=-0.105, P<0.001), Triglyceride(r=-0.119, P<0.001) and albumin(r=-0.108, P<0.001) showed negative correlation with total testosterone, respectively. Total testosterone level did not decrease with age. People who had metabolic syndrome, hypertension and diabetes were had lower total testosterone than normal population. Odds ratio of the hypogonadism in chronic disease group compared to normal group was 1.595(95% CI, 1.355-1.876, P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The total testosterone level was lower in chronic disease group compared to healthy subjects. Total testosterone level influenced by disease status, not by aging.

1) 연구배경: 일반적으로 테스토스테론은 나이가 들수록 감소한다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 최근의 연구에 따르면 테스토스테론의 감소 및 남성갱년기는 노화와의 연관성 보다는 만성질환을 포함한 다른 조건에 의할 것이라고 조심스럽게 언급되고 있다. 그러므로 본 연구는 남성호르몬에 영향을 주는 주요 인자 중 질환에 의한 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 2) 방법: 2008년부터 2013년까지 40세 이상의 남성 4,283명을 대상으로 질병군 및 정상군으로 나누어 총 테스토스테론을 포함한 혈액검사 및 임상자료를 두군간에 비교하였다. 3) 결과: 금번 연구에서 2,041명이 질병군(47.6%), 2,243명이 정상군(52.4%)이며 총 테스토스테론과 나이(r=0.032, P=0.034), HDL(r=0.133, P<0.001) 은 각각 양의 상관관계를 보이며, BMI(r=-0.198, P<0.001), 복부둘레(r=-0.184, P<0.001), 혈압, ALT(r=-0.132, P<0.001), 공복혈당(r=-0.105, P<0.001), TG(r=-0.119, P<0.001) 및 알부민(r=-0.108, P<0.001)은 각각 총 테스토스테론과 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 총 테스토스테론은 나이에 따라 증가하지 않았으며, 대사증후군, 고혈압, 및 당뇨병이 있는 사람들은 정상군에 비해 총 테스토스테론이 낮았다. 질병군이 남성갱년기에 이환될 확률이 정상군이 남성갱년기에 이환될 확률보다 1.595(95%CI, 1.355-1.876)배 높았다. 4) 결론: 정상군에서보다 질병군에서 총테스토스테론이 낮았다. 총테스토스테론은 나이가 아니라 질병에 의해 영향을 받는다.

▼ Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate, in a population of patients with compromised renal function, is there a correlation in periodontal status using systemic markers of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), HbA1C, and serum albumin to creatinine ratio.Methods: Patients’ were screened for kidney disease and had to have an eGFR <60 ml/min/m2. They were also screened for periodontal disease and had to have been diagnosed with moderate/severe periodontal disease according to CDC/AAP guidelines and have 30% BOP. After patients’ met inclusion/exclusion criteria, a thorough periodontal exam was performed at baseline which included: probing depths (PD), gingival margin position (GM), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) at six sites (MB, B, DB, DL, L, and ML) per tooth for every tooth. Additionally, blood and urine samples were taken at baseline as well to measure eGFR, HbA1c, and serum albumin to creatinine ratio. Simple statistics such as means, medians, and standard deviations were calculated for the entire population for both periodontal and kidney parameters. Also spearman rank correlations were calculated to determine if there were any associations between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease. Lastly, surrogate markers of periodontal disease such as PD and CAL were stratified into categories to determine if there was any correlation with chronic kidney disease. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 21 subjects entered the study. For correlation between kidney markers and periodontal markers, the eGFR was moderately positively correlated with average CAL (r = 0.46956, p ≤ 0.0317), and HBA1C (%) was moderately negatively associated with average PI (r = 0.51205, p ≤ 0.0176). When stratifying the data into PD and CAL categories, there were some differences that could be seen amongst the surrogate markers for chronic kidney disease, but none were statistically significant. Additionally, there was no statistically significant correlation between BOP % and markers of kidney function assessed in this study such as eGFR, HbA1c, and serum albumin to creatinine ratio %.Conclusions: There was no evidence in this study that supported the hypothesis that the severity of periodontal disease is correlated to the severity of chronic kidney disease and vice versa. The results of this study need to be interpreted with caution due to the small population (n = 21). Therefore, larger scale studies with more subjects, which look at populations more representative of the population as a whole, need to be conducted to determine if there is a correlation between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Also, longitudinal studies of this magnitude need to be carried out to see if improvements of markers of one disease affect markers of the other.

▼ Background: Treatment with a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) is an integral part of the guidelines for management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Concurrent use of a LABA and a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) are believed to enhance bronchodilation due to the synergistic mechanisms of action. Only recently have fixed dose combination LABA/LAMA agents been developed which has resulted in a vast amount of efficacy and safety data from clinical trials. However, data remains lacking on the effectiveness and safety of LABA/LAMA in a broader population of COPD patients. Objectives: The aims of this research were to examine real-world effectiveness and safety of LABA/LAMA compared to LABA/inhaled corticosteroid (LABA/ICS) combination treatment. A secondary goal was to develop a predictive model to identify those at risk for COPD exacerbations among patients treated with LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS. Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study utilizing administrative claims data among COPD patients initiating LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS. Effectiveness was measured by comparing COPD exacerbation rates using Poisson regression models adjusted for baseline covariates. We examined cardiovascular and cerebrovascular safety outcomes by measuring hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis for acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmia, stroke, or transient ischemic attack. Time to event was compared using Cox proportional hazards models after matching patients 1 LABA/LAMA user to 4 LABA/ICS users) on propensity score. A predictive model of COPD exacerbations among LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS users was developed using stepwise logistic regression in a training set of the original cohort. The test characteristics of the model were evaluated in the training set and validation set of patients. Results: Patients treated with the LABA/LAMA combination had similar exacerbation rates compared to those treated with LABA/ICS (adjusted incidence rate ratio of 0.98 [95% CI: 0.95 – 1.01]). Cardiovascular events in the LABA/LAMA cohort were lower than LABA/ICS (hazard ratio [HR]=0.794 [95% CI: 0.623-0.997]) but there was no significant difference in the risk of cerebrovascular events (HR=1.166 [95% CI 0.653-1.959]). The base predictive model resulted in a sensitivity of 41.6% and specificity of 85.5%. Other exploratory models resulted in similar test characteristics. Conclusions: In this real-world, observational study, exacerbations rates and cerebrovascular events were similar among patients treated with LABA/LAMA and LABA/ICS. Patients treated with LABA/LAMA had slightly lower risk of cardiovascular events. Further studies are recommended to confirm these findings. Finally, we were not able to develop a predictive model that identified patients at high risk for COPD exacerbations among patients treated with LABA/LAMA or LABA/ICS.

▼ Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease in older adults that is associated with numerous complications, including cognitive impairment and vascular dysfunction. Additionally, older adults have lifestyle factors that can negatively influence their health, including being sedentary. The purpose of this dissertation was to examine cognitive function, physical inactivity levels, and vascular function in older adults with and without CKD and to explore the relationships between these factors. Additionally, the relationship between cognitive function and vascular compliance and whether level of physical inactivity moderated this relationship was explored. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional design, 48 older adults (24 with CKD, 24 without CKD) were evaluated for performance on a cognitive test of global cognition and executive function, vascular compliance via tonometry and ultrasound (carotid compliance and endothelial function), and physical inactivity with actigraphy. Data was analyzed utilizing OLS regression, Pearson’s correlations, and regression moderation analysis. Results: Older adults with CKD had different levels of cognitive impairment, vascular dysfunction, and physical inactivity than older adults without CKD. In regression models including CKD and relevant covariates, the variance of cognitive function, indicators of regional arterial stiffness, some indicators of carotid compliance, and sedentary time per day were significantly explained. With exploration, global cognitive function was found to be significantly correlated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and an indicator of carotid artery compliance. Executive function scores were not found to be significantly correlated with vascular compliance in older adults with CKD. There was exploration into the potential moderating influence of sedentary time on the relationship between vascular compliance and cognitive function in older adults. Conclusion: Cognitive impairment, some indicators of vascular function, and sedentary time appear to be different between older adults with and without CKD. With exploration, there was support of a potential relationship between vascular compliance and global cognitive function. Further investigation is needed into the moderating influence of sedentary time on the relationship between vascular function and cognitive impairment. There is a need for further exploration into the relationships between cognitive function, physical inactivity levels, and vascular function in older adults with and without CKD.

▼ Background Falls in older people result in harm for individuals and are a major public health problem, but there is little published data on the recording and incidence of falls seen in primary care, with which to consider the implications of recent policy initiatives. A range of factors contribute to falls risk. Amongst these, the role of some medications is well established, but the evidence base regarding the effects of some of the most commonly prescribed medications remains meagre and inconsistent. Aims The project aims to quantify the overall incidence and distribution of recorded falls among older people in primary care in the UK, and the associated risk of death. The falls risk profile of more recently introduced serotonin noradrenalin reuptake inhibitors (SNRls) is explored to assess whether it is more favourable than that of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRls). Similarly, prescribing of subclasses of antihypertensive medication is explored to establish whether any of them modify risk of falling. Finally, other classes or sub-classes of medication prescribed in primary care are identified whose apparent falls risk warrants further investigation. Methods Analysis of falls and prescribing history in the electronic records of patients aged 60 years and over from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) using cohort, survival, case-control and case series study designs. Results Amongst people aged >60 years the overall crude incidence rate of recorded falls was 3.58/100 person-years (3.56-3.61), higher in older age groups, in women and least advantaged social groups, and was constant in the period 2003-2006. Fallers experienced a substantial increase in mortality (two-fold increase for recurrent fallers, and more than five-fold for those aged 60-74 years). This increase is independent of fractures recorded at the time of the fall or subsequently. People who fall have an increased rate of subsequent fracture (approximately three-fold and, for recurrent fallers aged 60-74 years more than eight-fold). There was an increased risk of current prescribing of SNRls (adjusted OR 1.79, 1.42 - 2.25) in first fall cases compared with controls. This was similar in magnitude to that seen with tricyclic antidepressants and SSRls. The increase in risk was apparent within the first 28 days after first prescription. The effects were also apparent in the self-controlled case series analysis: the incidence risk ratio for the period 1-28 days after initiation of treatment compared with unexposed periods was 1.49 (1.15 - 1.93). There was an increased risk of current prescribing of thiazides (adjusted OR 1.28, 1.16-1.42). At 3 weeks after first prescribing the adjusted risk remained 4.28 (1.19-15.42). In the case series analysis the incidence risk ratio for the period 21 days after first prescription was 2.80 (1.7 - 4.57). We found a reduced risk for current prescribing of beta blockers (adjusted OR 0.90; 0.85- 0.96), but a weakly positive effect in the case series analysis for the corresponding period IRR 1.23 (1.02-1.48).…

▼ UK care home residents are frail, dependent and multimorbid. General practitioners (GPs) provide their healthcare but there is evidence that existing provision fails to meet their needs. Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) comprises comprehensive multidisciplinary assessment, goal setting and frequent review. This thesis considers a possible role for CGA in UK care homes through three research projects. The Care Home Literature Review (CHoLiR) was a systematic mapping review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in care homes. It found no evidence supporting CGA as a whole but described some CGA components supported by RCTs: advanced care planning; interventions to reduce prescribing; staff education around dementia and end-of-life; calcium/vitamin D and alendronate in preventing fractures and osteoporosis; vaccination/neuraminidase inhibitors in preventing influenza; functional incidental and bladder training for incontinence; and risperidone/olanzapine for agitation. The Care Home Outcome Study (CHOS) was a longitudinal cohort study recording dependency, cognition, behaviour, diagnoses, prescribing, nutrition and healthcare resource use in 227 residents across 11 care homes over six months. It reported high levels of dependency, cognitive impairment, malnutrition, multimorbidity and frequent behavioural disturbance. Polypharmacy and prescribing errors were common. Variability between homes and individuals was significant for most baseline and outcome measures. Staff Interviews in Care Homes (STICH) was a qualitative interview study of 32 staff working with care homes including: GPs; care home managers and nurses; NHS community nurses and specialist practitioners. It described care defined by discontinuity and lack-of-anticipation; driven by communication failure, inadequate training and expertise in frail older patients, and arbitrary boundaries between care homes and the NHS which interfered with care. Using the findings of these studies, the author proposes a model of care which is multidisciplinary, guided by comprehensive assessment, reinforced by frequent review and delivered by experts in the care of frail older patients: CGA has a role in UK care homes.

▼ Background: Advance care planning (ACP) was originally designed to promote autonomy and is commonly conceptualised as informing treatment and decisions in the event of a person’s loss of capacity. In the UK, healthcare policy has emphasised the potential for ACP to significantly contribute to improvements in experiences of death and dying for patients and their significant others. Older people with progressive frailty are at high risk of mortality, loss of capacity and increasing dependency on carers and care services, yet uptake of ACP in this group is poor. Little is known about whether frail older people regard advance care planning as relevant or what perspectives they have on decision making for the future. Aim: To explore the expectations, experiences and understandings of frail older people and their significant others of planning for future care and to examine the implications of this for the practice of ACP. Methods: The study adopted an exploratory case study design using serial qualitative interviews and the responsive interview technique. Frail older people and their nominated carers were recruited from hospital wards in a large University Hospital NHS Trust prior to discharge. They took part in up to two interviews either in hospital or in their homes. Within and cross-case qualitative analysis was undertaken. Findings: Sixteen frail older people and eight significant others were recruited (Seventeen female, seven male, age range 70-96). The study found that frail older people experience profound uncertainty, associated with rapid changes to their physical and/or mental state and complex challenges in everyday life. Consequently, their attention is focused on day-to-day maintenance of quality of life, rather than on future care or advance decision making. Many had difficulty imagining a future; as dependency grew, so did reliance on care services to support their needs. What once would have been deemed an unacceptable way of living became routine. For many, the care system offers a lifeline without which they would not be able to exist at home. However, it also appeared to offer little individual flexibility, meaning that frail older people struggled to assert the control over day-to-day decisions and choices that others take for granted. This increasing dependency and reliance on care and care services has the potential to undermine the decision-making capacity of frail older people. For many, autonomous choice and decision making gave way to relationships, partnerships and negotiations that are commensurate with a more relational model of autonomy. Conclusion: The end-of-life orientation of current ACP policy and practice is at odds with the dynamic nature of frailty and does not correspond to individuals’ needs to maximise their current quality of life. The liberal ideal of autonomy as self-determination and self-interest presented by the legalistic and ideologically driven policy of ACP is out of step with the lived worlds of frail older people. For those facing increasing dependency on care and care…

▼ Background: Patient self-monitoring with telehealth technologies has not demonstrated savings to secondary care budgets but there remains optimism regarding potential benefit for people with long-term conditions. Aim: To critically assess whether remote vital-sign telemonitoring is perceived to have derived benefits for patients. Design: Mixed methods research was adopted with questionnaire distribution to service users and their informal carers and with semi-structured one-to-one interviews conducted with clinical practitioners and senior managers. Sample: Questionnaires were distributed to 274 patients living with long-term conditions who were using telemonitoring provided by one integrated health and social care organisation in Northern Ireland. Data from 97 patients and 49 carers were analysed. A total of 16 clinical practitioners experienced with the use of remote vital-sign telemonitoring in their therapeutic regimens, across a range of professions, were interviewed along with eight senior managers or commissioners. Results: The great majority of patients (90.7%) were supportive of technology and agreed that the remote monitoring system assisted me in managing my health on a day-to-day basis. They reported that telehealth technology gave them control for self-management, better understanding, timely access to support, peace of mind and empowerment. These observations were echoed by clinicians who were equally supportive and saw greater future use of innovative technologies in the delivery of health and care. They did not view remote monitoring as any diminution of care. Conclusion: Whilst not necessarily saving money, remote vital-sign telemonitoring enabled collaboration between patients, carers and the clinicians where patients were empowered to actively self-manage their long-term conditions. Patients accepted technology and support increased use as part of their care regime in the future. Healthcare systems should become open to the exploitation of new technologies in order to realise the real patient benefit.

▼ Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important independent risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Indeed, patients with CKD are far more likely to die from CVD than reach end stage renal disease. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors and co-morbidity contribute to this increased risk of CVD. However, emerging evidence suggests other novel factors including inflammation, oxidative stress, and a shift in the balance of the vasodilator nitric oxide and vasoconstrictor endothelin system, are also important contributors. Despite increasing evidence that the endothelin system plays an important role in the development of CKD and CVD, there has been little research examining possible therapeutic benefits of its modification in patients with CKD. The overall aims of the work presented within this thesis were to examine CVD risk in patients with renal impairment and then to see what impact chronic inhibition of the endothelin system would have on risk factors for CVD and CKD progression. In the first two studies I examined markers of arterial stiffness (AS) and endothelial function in a cohort of patients with immune-mediated renal disease. I was able to show in the acute setting that improvement in renal function following treatment for these conditions leads to significant improvements in AS. Interestingly, in patients who were in remission from their renal disease, only classical cardiovascular risk factors appear to be linked to AS. In the next study I was able to prove that sitaxsentan, a selective oral ETA antagonist, did not cause functional blockade of the ETB receptor in man. This was the first study of its kind to confirm that a “selective” endothelin antagonist truly is selective in vivo: a finding that will allow more accurate mechanistic investigation of the ET system. In the final studies, I showed that in subjects with stable non-diabetic proteinuric CKD, chronic selective ETA receptor antagonism reduces blood pressure and AS, and that these systemic benefits are associated with an increase in renal blood flow and reduction in proteinuria. The reduction in proteinuria is most likely haemodynamic and linked to a fall in GFR and filtration fraction, similar to what is seen with ACE inhibitors. Importantly, these benefits were seen in patients already taking maximally tolerated renin-angiotensin aldosterone system blockade, suggesting that chronic endothelin antagonism could be an important future therapy in the management of CKD. In summary, I have shown that renal impairment can directly affect markers of arterial function and by inference increase the risk of CVD. Chronic antagonism of the endothelin system with ETA receptor blockers would appear to improve many of these biomarkers, including reductions in BP, AS and proteinuria. There were no adverse effects reported in these studies, suggesting that selective ETA antagonism may be safe enough for clinical development in CKD patients. Further larger clinical trials are warranted.

▼ Background: Indigenous peoples in Australia, New Zealand and Canada carry a greater burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) than the general populations in each country, and this burden is predicted to increase. Given the human and economic cost of dialysis, understanding how to better manage CKD at earlier stages of disease progression is an important priority for practitioners and policy-makers. Objective: To examine the evidence relating to the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and acceptability, as well as barriers and facilitators of implementation of chronic kidney disease management programs designed for Indigenous people in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. Inclusion criteria: Types of participants: Indigenous people in Australia, Canada and New Zealand diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Types of intervention(s)/phenomena of interest: Health sector-led management programs explicitly designed to manage, slow progression or otherwise improve the lives of Indigenous people with chronic kidney disease in outpatient/community settings were considered, excluding dialysis or other forms of renal replacement therapy. Qualitative phenomena of interest were healthcare worker or patient experiences of relevant programs. Types of studies: A broad range of study-types were considered for inclusion, including quantitative studies of effectiveness, cost and cost-effectiveness, and all types of qualitative study designs. Types of outcomes: Outcomes of interest were indicators of clinical effectiveness, ability to self-manage, quality of life, cost and cost-benefit, acceptability, and barriers and enablers of implementation. Search strategy: A four-step search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies published between 2000 and 2014. Methodological quality: The studies were critically appraised using the standardized critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute. Data collection and synthesis: Quantitative and qualitative data addressing the research questions were extracted using standardised tools. Due to the heterogeneity of the included studies, quantitative data on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness were summarised in narrative and tabular form. Qualitative data was synthesized using the Joanna Briggs Institute meta-aggregation approach. Results: Ten studies were included. Six studies provided evidence of clinical effectiveness relevant programs, two provided evidence of cost and cost-effectiveness, two provided qualitative evidence of barriers and facilitators of implementation of effective programs, and one provided quantitative evidence on the acceptability of a community-based chronic kidney disease management program. Conclusions: The quantitative, economic and qualitative evidence in this review indicates that CKD programs tailored for Indigenous people may be effective and cost-effective, and has identified a number of facilitators to the implementation of effective and acceptable CKD management programs. Given the human cost of dialysis and the growing population of people living… Advisors/Committee Members: Gomersall, Judith (advisor), Joanna Briggs Institute (school).

▼ This is a foundational study that applies Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis to the evaluation of a chronic disease model that utilizes Remote Monitoring (RM) devices to identify clinical deterioration in a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) population. Background: RM programmes in Disease Management (DM) are proliferating as one strategy to address management of chronic disease. The need to validate and quantify evidence-based value is acute. There is a need to apply new methods to better evaluate automated RM systems. ROC analysis is an engineering approach that has been widely applied to medical programmes but has not been applied to RM systems. Evaluation of classifiers, determination of thresholds and predictive accuracy for RM systems have not been evaluated using ROC analysis. Objectives: (1) apply ROC analysis to evaluation of a RM system; (2) analyse the performance of the model when applied to patient outcomes for a COPD population; (3) identify predictive classifier(s); (4) identify optimal threshold(s) and the predictive capacity of the classifiers. Methods: Parametric and non-parametric methods are utilized to determine accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and predictive capacity of classifiers Saturated Peripheral Oxygen (SpO2), Blood Pressure (BP), Pulse Rate (PR) based on event-based patient outcomes that include hospitalisation (IP), accident & emergency (A&E) and home visits (HH). Population: Patients identified with a primary diagnosis of COPD, monitored for a minimum of 183 days with at least one episode of in-patient (IP) hospitalisation for COPD in the 12 months preceding the monitoring period. Data Source: A subset of retrospective de-identified patient data from an NHS Direct evaluation of a COPD RM programme. Subsets utilized include classifiers, biometric readings, alerts generated by the system and resource utilisation. Contribution: Validates ROC methodology, identifies classifier performance and optimal threshold settings for the classifier, while making design recommendations and putting forth the next steps for research. The question answered by this research is that ROC analysis can provide additional information on the predictive capacity of RM systems. Justification of benefit: The results can be applied when evaluating health services and planning decisions on the costs and benefits. Methods can be applied to system design, protocol development, work flows and commissioning decisions based on value and benefit. Conclusion: Results validate the use of ROC analysis as a robust methodology for DM programmes that use RM devices to evaluate classifiers, thresholds and identification of the predictive capacity as well as identify areas where additional design may improve the predictive capacity of the model.

▼ Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with underlying chronic kidney disease (CKD). Up to one third of patients presenting with an acute coronary syndrome have CKD stage 3-5. Outcomes following acute myocardial infarction in patients with underlying CKD remain poor. CKD patients are routinely excluded from clinical trials in novel cardioprotective strategies resulting in a paucity of prospective data on which to base guidelines for clinical practice. The aims of this work were to: • Establish and characterise two models of chronic uraemia in rodents: the subtotal nephrectomy model and the adenine diet model. • Determine the effects of underlying chronic uraemia on myocardial ischaemia tolerance. • Examine pharmacological cardioprotective strategies in the context of underlying uraemia using a PARP inhibitor • Investigate the cardioprotective effects of ischaemic conditioning in the context of uraemia. Ischaemic preconditioning and postconditioning protocols were used in both uraemic and non-uraemic animals in a model of acute myocardial infarction. • Preliminary work, using standard molecular biological techniques, was carried out in order to confirm the putative survival pathways responsible for the effect of preconditioning. • Investigate the effect of combining early and late remote ischaemic preconditioning to identify whether summation of these strategies could provide additional tissue protection in a model of acute kidney injury. The results demonstrate that both models develop a uraemic phenotype. Subtotal nephrectomy animals exhibit reduced ischaemia tolerance. PARP inhibition as a pharmacological post conditioning agent was shown to be ineffective at conferring tissue protection, whereas both ischaemic preconditioning and postconditioning were effective cytoprotective strategies in both non-uraemic and uraemic animals. Furthermore, additional benefit was seen when early and late remote preconditioning were summated in a rodent model of acute kidney injury. This work provides a basis for future clinical trials in cardioprotection in the context of underlying CKD.

▼ Primary hyperaldosteronism is seen in middle-aged and older cats. The zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland produces the mineralocorticoïd aldosterone. An excess of production of aldosterone in primary hyperaldosteronism originates from tumorous or non-tumorous adrenal tissue. Increase of retention of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney can result in systemic arterial hypertension which can cause loss of vision due to retinal detachment and intraocular hemorrhage. Development of hypokalemia may lead to decreased neuromuscular function which shows in episodes of muscle weakness and paresis with typical ventroflexion of the neck. Through thrombosis and fibrosis primary hyperaldosteronism in the cat may progress renal failure. In this study the prevalence of primary hyperaldosteronism was determined amongst a group of eleven cats with chronic kidney disease. Based on plasma creatinine levels of >164 μmol/L cats were selected. Systolic blood pressure was measured with Doppler technique, and eye examination was performed through ophthalmoscopy. Urine and bloodsamples were analyzed. Plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were measured and the PAC to PRA ratio (ARR) was calculated. Primary hyperaldosteronism was diagnosed in one of eleven cats based on ARR (9%). A significant correlation was found between ARR and plasma creatinin. In four cats the systolic bloodpressure was ≥ 185 mmHg, one cat had leasions of the fundus. Hypokalemia was found in three cats, one of them had signs of muscle weakness. To diagnose primary hyperaldosteronism with a higher reliability repeated and complementary measurements are needed. Nevertheless, the disease seems to play an important role in cats with chronic kidney disease. Only a small number of cats were evaluated. More research is required to obtain more data and reliable results concerning the prevalence of primary hyperaldosteronism in cats.
