    Abstract Acute Kidney Injury is a severe clinical condition with a high risk of multi-organs complications and mortality. For this reason, early recognition is crucial. Our proposal based on a 3-window framework discovers all hidden regularities, called Approximate Predictive Functional Dependencies, with the aim to enable early recognition of high-risk patients during hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We evaluated the different severity stages according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, building different pathological state patterns, from admission to the discharge from ICU. According to the clinical practice, for each patient, we examined various characteristics expressed as a temporal history of events that may predict a pathological state pattern. We evaluated our proposal exploiting the MIMIC-IV dataset, a collection of Electronic Medical Records from ICU. The obtained results showed promising possibilities to use this type of dependency to support clinical practice.

    Abstract Effective vaccination strategies are of crucial importance to protecting patients who are vulnerable to infections, such as patients with chronic kidney disease. This is because the decreased efficiency of the immune system in chronic kidney disease impairs vaccine-induced immunisation. COVID-19 has prompted investigation of the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in chronic kidney disease and in kidney transplant recipients in an effort to improve efficacy. The seroconversion rate after two vaccine doses is reduced, especially in kidney transplant recipients. Furthermore, although the seroconversion rate in chronic kidney disease patients is as high as in healthy subjects, anti-spike antibody titres are lower than in healthy vaccinated individuals, and these titres decrease rapidly. Although the vaccine-induced anti-spike antibody titre correlates with neutralising antibody levels and with protection against COVID-19, the protective prognostic significance of their titre is decreased due to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants other than the Wuhan index virus against which the original vaccines were produced. Cellular immunity is also relevant, and because of cross-reactivity to the spike protein, epitopes of different viral variants confer protection against newly emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2. A multi-dose vaccination strategy is the most effective way to obtain a sufficient serological response. In kidney transplant recipients, a 5-week discontinuation period from antimetabolite drugs in concomitance with vaccine administration may also increase the vaccine's efficacy. The newly acquired knowledge obtained from COVID-19 vaccination is of general interest for the success of other vaccinations in chronic kidney disease patients.

    Abstract Background and hypothesis: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health concern. Recent research has indicated sex disparities in CKD-related complications, yet the impact of sex differences on critical kidney function levels that trigger these complications and mortality remains inadequately documented.
    Methods: We investigated sex-specific disparities in CKD-related complications and mortality according to eGFR levels. We analyzed NHANES data spanning from 1999 to 2018, including adult participants with an eGFR of 15-150 ml/min per 1.73m². The outcomes were CKD-related complications (hypertension, anaemia, CV diseases, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia, hyperparathyroidism) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality (CV mortality and non-CV mortality). Sex-stratified multivariable logistic and Cox regression models yielded odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) for the relationship between eGFR categories and outcomes. Sex-stratified natural splines were used to explore the relationship between continuous eGFR and outcomes and identified eGFR thresholds of statistical significance.
    Results: The study included 49 558 participants (50.3% women, 49.7% men). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated a significant eGFR association with all CKD-related complications, exhibiting a linear trend across eGFR categories. Modelling eGFR as a natural spline revealed varied significance thresholds between sexes for anaemia and hyperparathyroidism. Additionally, the eGFR-hyperphosphatemia association was more pronounced in men. We observed substantial but not statistically significant differences between men and women in the thresholds of statistical significance for CV (significance appeared at a higher eGFR in men) and non-CV mortality (significance appeared at a higher eGFR in women).
    Conclusions: Research shows sex disparities in most CKD-related complications. Men develop anaemia and hyperparathyroidism earlier, women show steeper anaemia increase. Men have higher CV mortality risk. As eGFR decreased, men faced a higher risk of CV mortality at a higher eGFR threshold than women.
