    Abstract Background: The occurrence of acute and chronic kidney diseases has been rising in the last decades. Although drug use is a common risk factor for impaired kidney function, changes in utilization of potential nephrotoxic drugs have received little attention.
    Purpose: To describe temporal trends in the utilization of potentially nephrotoxic drugs in Denmark between 1999 and 2021.
    Methods: Specific drugs known or suspected to be nephrotoxic were identified in the literature. Data on the sold defined daily doses (DDDs) of potentially nephrotoxic drugs between 1999 and 2021 were retrieved using the Danish Register of Medical Product Statistics. Trends in sales of DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day were tabulated and illustrated graphically.
    Results: From 1999 to 2021, the total sale of all selected drugs increased from 286 to 457 DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day. The overall sale reached a preliminary peak in 2012 with 449 DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day and remained relatively stable thereafter until reaching an all-time high in 2021 with 457 DDDs per 1000 inhabitants per day. Contributing with the majority in volume, sales of drugs inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) increased dramatically throughout the period. The same was observed for acetaminophen, methotrexate, tacrolimus, and iodinated contrast dye. In contrast, the sales of diuretics, acetylsalicylic acid, and ciclosporin decreased during the last decade of the study period.
    Conclusion: From 1999-2021 considerable changes in sales of potentially nephrotoxic drugs were observed. In general, the sales increased, in volume predominated by RAAS inhibiting drugs. This increase in sales of potential nephrotoxins could contribute to an increasing occurrence of kidney diseases.

    Abstract Gambling disorder is associated with increased mental comorbidity, unhealthy lifestyle, criminality, and costs-of-illness, but the available evidence is mainly based on self-reported survey data. We examined the registry-recorded mental and somatic comorbidities, medication use, criminality, and costs-of-illness associated with gambling disorder. We identified individuals diagnosed with or treated for gambling disorder in hospitals or specialized treatment centers during 2013-2017 and matched them by age and sex to general population comparisons. Using individual-level healthcare and socioeconomic registries, we characterized their history of mental and somatic comorbidities, medication use, and criminality. We estimated their cost-of-illness of welfare services (direct) and lowered productivity (indirect) using the human capital approach. We identified 1381 individuals with gambling disorder, primarily young (median age: 34 years) men (87%). Individuals with gambling disorder more frequently than their comparisons had previous hospital-recorded comorbidity [e.g., myocardial infarction (0.8% vs. 0.5%)], medication use [e.g., respiratory system drugs (35.6% vs. 28.6%)], and hospital-recorded or pharmacologically treated mental comorbidity [e.g., depression (39.8% vs. 14.9%)]. Also, sentenced criminality was much more common in individuals with gambling disorder (7.0%) than in comparisons (1.1%). The estimated attributable direct costs were €4.0 M corresponding to €2.9 K per person with gambling disorder, and attributable indirect costs were €17.6 M, corresponding to €13.2 K per person with gambling disorder in 2018. In conclusion, individuals diagnosed with or treated for gambling disorder have a high burden of mental and somatic comorbidities as well as criminality compared with the general population. This needs attention to minimize the societal and personal costs of gambling disorder.

    Abstract Objective: Total thyroidectomy (TT) carries a risk of hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT). Recently, hypoPT has been associated with higher overall mortality rates. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of hypoPT and mortality in patients undergoing TT in Denmark covering 20 years.
    Design: Retrospective Cohort study.
    Patients and measurements: Using population-based registries, we identified all Danish individuals who had undergone TT between January 1998 and December 2017. We included a comparison cohort by randomly selecting 10 citizens for each patient, matched on sex and birth year. HypoPT was defined as treatment with active vitamin D after 12 months postoperatively. We used cumulative incidence to calculate risks and Cox regression to compare the rate of mortality between patients and the comparison cohort. We evaluated patients in different comorbidity groups using the Charlson Comorbidity Index and by different indications for surgery.
    Results: 7912 patients underwent TT in the period. The prevalence of hypoPT in the study period was 16.6%, 12 months postoperatively. After adjusting for potential confounders the risk of death due to any causes (hazard ratio; 95% confidence intervals) following TT was significantly increased (1.34; 1.15-1.56) for patients who developed hypoPT. However, subgroup analysis revealed mortality was only increased in malignancy cases (2.48; 1.99-3.10) whereas mortality was not increased when surgery was due to benign indications such as goitre (0.88; 0.68-1.15) or thyrotoxicosis (0.86; 0.57-1.28).
    Conclusions: The use of active vitamin D for hypoPT was prevalent one year after TT. Patients with hypoPT did not have an increased risk of mortality following TT unless the indication was due to malignancy.

    Abstract Objectives: To examine temporal changes in the incidence of hospital-diagnosed acute pyelonephritis (APN) and characterize associated demographics.
    Methods: Cohort study including Danish patients with hospital-diagnosed APN during 2000-2018, identified by International Classification of Diseases, 10
    Results: We included 66,937 hospital-diagnosed APN episodes in 57,162 patients. From 2000 to 2018, the incidence increased from 6.8 (95% CI: 6.8-6.8) to 15.4 (95% CI: 15.4-15.4) in women and from 2.7 (95% CI: 2.7-2.7) to 4.5 (95% CI: 4.5-4.5) in men. Among infants, the rate rose from 7.4 (95% CI: 7.4-7.4) to 64.8 (95% CI: 64.7-64.9) in girls and from 17.1 (95% CI: 17.1-17.2) to 52.5 (95% CI: 52.4-52.6) in boys. Concomitant declines were observed in incidences of hospital-diagnosed unspecified urinary tract infections and sepsis.
    Conclusion: The APN incidence roughly doubled during 2000-2018. The increase was largely driven by a prominently increasing incidence among young children which was not explained by the enlarging prevalence of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract.

    Abstract Background: With the increasing prevalence of risk factors for nephrotic syndrome, updated epidemiologic data on the syndrome are needed. We examined its age- and sex-specific incidence, histopathology, and mortality over 24 years.
    Methods: This nationwide cohort study included all adults with first-time-recorded nephrotic syndrome in Denmark during 1995-2018 using the Danish National Patient Registry. We obtained data on age, sex, hospital-diagnosed comorbidities, and histopathologic findings. We computed overall, and age- and sex-specific, incidence rates of nephrotic syndrome, 1- and 5-year mortality by calendar period, and 1-year hazard ratios (HRs) of death using Cox models.
    Results: We identified 3,970 adults with first-time nephrotic syndrome diagnosis. Incidence was highest in men and increased with age to 11.77 per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.21-13.32) in men aged 80+ years, and 6.56 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI: 5.71-7.41) in women aged 80+ years. Incidence of nephrotic syndrome increased from 3.35 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI: 3.12-3.58) in 1995-2000 to 4.30 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI: 4.05-4.54) in 2013-2018. Over time, 1-year mortality of nephrotic syndrome was stable at 13%-16%, but HR of death was 0.54 (95% CI: 0.42-0.69), adjusted for age, sex, and comorbidities, in 2013-2018 compared with 1995-2000. Subdistribution of glomerulopathies was stable over time with membranous nephropathy and minimal change disease being the most common.
    Conclusion: During 1995-2018, the incidence of recorded adult nephrotic syndrome increased slightly, and the adjusted mortality of nephrotic syndrome decreased markedly. Whether these findings reflect changes in epidemiology or awareness and coding of nephrotic syndrome, remains to be clarified.

    Abstract Background: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are recommended as first-line treatment of atrial fibrillation. Whether DOAC use is associated with lower risks of kidney complications compared with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) remains unclear. We examined this association in a nationwide, population-based cohort study.
    Methods: We conducted a cohort study including patients initiating oral anticoagulant treatment within 3 months after an atrial fibrillation diagnosis in Denmark during 2012-18. Using routinely collected creatinine measurements from laboratory databases, we followed patients in an intention-to-treat approach for acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. We used propensity-score weighting to balance baseline confounders, computed weighted risks and weighted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) comparing DOACs with VKAs. We performed several subgroup analyses and a per-protocol analysis.
    Results: We included 32 781 persons with atrial fibrillation initiating oral anticoagulation (77% initiating DOACs). The median age was 75 years, 25% had a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusions: Initiation of DOACs was associated with a decreased risk of AKI and CKD progression compared with VKAs. Despite the potential limitations of observational studies, our findings support the need for increased clinical awareness to prevent kidney complications among patients who initiate oral anticoagulants.
