Risk factors for bloodstream infection in patients at a Brazilian hemodialysis center: a case-control study

Objective: To determine the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and the risk of infection in patients with chronic kidney disease treated at a hemodialysis

The following variables were controlled: age at the beginning of symptoms, age at inclusion in the study, duration of previous treatment, number of previous relapses,

Introduction : Vascular access in patients undergoing hemodialysis is considered a critical determinant of bloodstream infection (BSI) and is associated with high morbidity

Objective: To determine the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and the risk of infection in patients with chronic kidney disease treated at a hemodialysis

Assessments were based on recipient demographics, type of dialysis offered before transplantation (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or conservative care), time on

The analysis of statistically significant variables in the multivariate logistic regression model revealed that among factors donor and recipient age, time on dialysis, cold

Quality of life of chronic renal patients in peritoneal dialysis and

Logistic regression using one or more variables was used to identify risk factors associated with CMV infection ( age and type of donor; age, race, cause of chronic kidney
