Use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with heart failure and comorbid diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease.
Perceived risks of hyperkalemia and acute renal insufficiency may limit use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) therapy in patients with heart failure, especially those with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. In their study, the investigators found that among patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease, MRA use was associated with lower risk of all-cause readmission despite greater risk of hyperkalemia and acute renal insufficiency.

Joint replacement registries in the United States: a new paradigm.
This commentary serves as an introduction to an upcoming series of articles about orthopaedic registries, in general, with an emphasis on lessons learned from the evolving U.S. and international total joint replacement registries. Specifically, this paper provides an overview of total joint replacement registries and the current expansion of data collection beyond implant attributes and survival to include postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes.
