Effect of sex on nadir hematocrit and rates of acute kidney injury in coronary artery bypass.
Researchers explored whether there a sex-related difference on nadir hematocrit and rates of acute kidney injury in coronary artery bypass. A prospective, observational study was conducted of 17,363 patients not on dialysis undergoing the procedure between 2011 and 2016 across 41 institutions from the Perfusion Measure and Outcomes registry. There was no sex-related differences found for nadir hematocrit or rates of acute kidney injury.

The association of preoperative cardiac stress testing with 30-day death and myocardial infarction among patients undergoing kidney transplantation.
This study examined whether the use of preoperative cardiac stress testing of patients undergoing kidney transplantation reduced 30-day- death and myocardial infarction post-transplantation. ESRD patients 40 years or older with primary Medicare insurance between 2006 and 2013 were identified using the United States Renal Data System. In a matched cohort of 17,304 patients, there was little difference in 30-day post-transplantation mortality and myocardial infarction between those receiving a stress test and those who did not.

Contributions of traditional and HIV-related risk factors on non-AIDS-defining cancer, myocardial infarction, and end-stage liver and renal diseases in adults with HIV in the USA and Canada: a collaboration of cohort studies.
Adults with HIV have an increased burden of non-AIDS-defining cancers, myocardial infarction, end-stage liver disease, and end-stage renal disease. The objective of this study was to estimate the population attributable fractions (PAFs) of preventable or modifiable HIV-related and traditional risk factors for non-AIDS-defining cancers, myocardial infarction, end-stage liver disease, and end-stage renal disease outcomes.
