Effectiveness and safety of ferric carboxymaltose therapy in peritoneal dialysis patients: an observational study.

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) has been demonstrated in haemodialysis and non-dialysis studies, but evidence is lacking in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). METHODS: This multicentre, retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of FCM in patients on PD over 12 months. We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of PD patients who initiated FCM treatment between 2014 and 2017 across seven Spanish centres. RESULTS: Ninety-one patients were included in the safety population (mean ± SD age 57.7 ± 15.0 years) and 70 in the efficacy population (mean age 50.9 ± 14.5 years). No hypersensitivity reaction, FCM discontinuation or dose adjustment due to a serious adverse event (SAE) was registered in the safety population. The most common non-SAEs reported were headache (four events), mild hypotension (three events) and hypertension (two events), among others. In the efficacy population (n = 70), 68.6% of patients achieved ferritin levels of 200-800 ng/mL, 78.4% achieved transferrin saturation (TSAT) >20%, and 62.8% achieved TSAT >20% and ferritin >200 ng/mL after 12 months of FCM initiation (P < 0.01). Haemoglobin (Hb) levels were maintained at >11 g/dL with a lower dose of darbepoetin throughout the follow-up. The sub-analysis of patients naïve to IV iron and with absolute or relative iron deficiency (n = 51) showed that 76.5% reached ferritin >200 ng/mL, 80.4% TSAT >20% and Hb increased (1.2 g/dL) after 4 months of FCM treatment (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: In this multicentre, retrospective, real-world study conducted in the PD population, FCM was effective, safe and easy to administer during routine clinical visits.

[Nutritional analysis of dietary patterns in students of primary education with normal nutritional status]. / Análisis nutricional del modelo dietético en alumnos de educación primaria con estado nutricional normal.

OBJECTIVE: To perform a nutritional assessment of the dietary model in a group of primary school students (9-12 years) with a normal nutritional status. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Recording of food consumption of two consecutive school days in a sample of 353 primary school students (188 boys and 165 girls) with normal nutritional situation. The intake of energy, macronutrients, minerals, and vitamins was calculated and compared with the recommended intakes. RESULTS: The mean value of daily caloric intake was 2,066.9 kcal. Grains (33%), dairy products (19%) and meats (17%) represented 70% of the total caloric intake. Proteins contributed with 20.3% of the caloric intake, sugars 48.8%, lipids 30.9%, and saturated fats 12.6%. Cholesterol intake was excessive and 2/3 of the caloric intake was of animal origin. The mean intake of calcium, iodine and A, D and E vitamins were lower than de recommended dietary intakes. CONCLUSIONS: The dietary model of the primary school students with normal nutritional status varies from the Mediterranean prototype, with an excessive intake of meats, limited intake of grains and dairy products, and deficient intake of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and fishes. This leads to an increase in the intake of proteins and fats from animals with a detriment of complex carbohydrates and a deficient intake of calcium, iodine, and vitamins A, D y E.

Objetivo: Realizar un análisis nutricional del modelo dietético en un grupo de alumnos de Educación Primaria (9-12 años) con estado nutricional normal. Material y Métodos: Registro de consumo de alimentos de dos días lectivos consecutivos en una muestra de 353 alumnos de Educación Primaria (188 varones y 165 mujeres) con una situación nutricional normal. Se ha calculado el consumo calórico y de macronutrientes, minerales y vitaminas comparándose con las ingestas recomendadas. Resultados: El valor medio del aporte calórico diario era de 2.066,9 kcal. Los cereales (33%), lácteos (19%) y carnes (17%) aportaban el 70% de la ingesta calórica total. Las proteínas aportaban el 20,3% de la ingesta calórica, los glúcidos el 48,8%, los lípidos el 30,9%, y las grasas saturadas el 12,6%. La ingesta de colesterol era excesiva y 2/3 de la ingesta proteica eran de origen animal. El valor medio de la ingesta de calcio, yodo y vitaminas A, D y E eran inferiores a los aportes dietéticos recomendados. Conclusiones: El modelo dietético de los alumnos de Educación Primaria con estado nutricional normal difiere del prototipo mediterráneo, con un consumo excesivo de carnes, limitado de cereales y lácteos, y deficiente en verduras y hortalizas, frutas, legumbres y pescados; dando lugar a un incremento del aporte de proteínas y grasas animales en detrimento de los hidratos de carbono complejos y un aporte deficiente de calcio, yodo y vitaminas A, D y E.
