Development and validation of the MMCD score to predict kidney replacement therapy in COVID-19 patients

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently associated with COVID-19, and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is considered an indicator of disease severity. This study aimed to develop a prognostic score for predicting the need for KRT in hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and to assess the incidence of AKI and KRT requirement. Methods This study is part of a multicentre cohort, the Brazilian COVID-19 Registry. A total of 5212 adult COVID-19 patients were included between March/2020 and September/2020. Variable selection was performed using generalised additive models (GAM), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for score derivation. Accuracy was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). Results The median age of the model-derivation cohort was 59 (IQR 47–70) years, 54.5% were men, 34.3% required ICU admission, 20.9% evolved with AKI, 9.3% required KRT, and 15.1% died during hospitalisation. The temporal validation cohort had similar age, sex, ICU admission, AKI, required KRT distribution and in-hospital mortality. The geographic validation cohort had similar age and sex; however, this cohort had higher rates of ICU admission, AKI, need for KRT and in-hospital mortality. Four predictors of the need for KRT were identified using GAM: need for mechanical ventilation, male sex, higher creatinine at hospital presentation and diabetes. The MMCD score had excellent discrimination in derivation (AUROC 0.929, 95% CI 0.918–0.939) and validation (temporal AUROC 0.927, 95% CI 0.911–0.941; geographic AUROC 0.819, 95% CI 0.792–0.845) cohorts and good overall performance (Brier score: 0.057, 0.056 and 0.122, respectively). The score is implemented in a freely available online risk calculator ( https://www.mmcdscore.com/ ). Conclusions The use of the MMCD score to predict the need for KRT may assist healthcare workers in identifying hospitalised COVID-19 patients who may require more intensive monitoring, and can be useful for resource allocation

Gestão pública II: relatos, pesquisas, experiências e visão de trabalho.

Coletânea de trabalhos publicados e premiados no II Seminário de Gestão Pública da UFRA e na 1ª edição do Prêmio Novos Ventos de Gestão Pública, sob a responsabilidade da Pró-Reitoria de Gestão de Pessoas (PROGEP).UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL RURAL DA AMAZÔNIAEste livro, na forma de coletânea, se constituiu em um processo mais amplo de reflexão sobre a gestão pública dentro da Universidade. Aqui, partimos para uma importante reflexão, a partir do processo de sistematizar experiências, relatos de experiência, e pesquisas, sobre a Universidade Pública e sua relação com as pessoas e as ciências. Em especial, o capítulo 1, a partir da coletânea dos trabalhos apresentados no II Seminário de Gestão Pública, diferencia-se dos trabalhos submetidos para a primeira edição. As experiências destacadas para este livro reforçam a identidade e missão da UFRA, como os resultados dos trabalhos “OS CAMINHOS DA MERENDA ESCOLAR: análise da logística na cadeia de suprimentos do município de Tomé-Açu” e “ANÁLISE QVT NA GESTÃO DE UMA EMPRESA PRODUTORA DE DENDÊ EM TOMÉ-AÇU/PA”, e que também agregam valor a gestores e equipes de trabalho quando promovem a discussão de temas relacionados ao dia-a-dia do trabalho, tais como: QUALIDADE DE VIDA NO TRABALHO e GESTÃO ESTRATÉGICA DE PESSOAS NO SETOR PÚBLICO. Nesse sentido, servidores e pesquisadores cumprem a função de embasar inúmeras discussões que vêm sendo travadas pelas Instituições Públicas sobre qualidade de vida, inclusão, garantia de direitos, melhoria de procedimentos, dentre outros. O capítulo II, enquanto coletânea das experiências de trabalho indicada para premiação, é um momento riquíssimo de se perceber a quantidade e a qualidade de ações planejadas, organizadas e realizadas por servidores públicos. Em tempos que algumas práticas do serviço público não são bem vistas, reforça-se aqui que alguns dos relatos foram concebidos em meio a falta de recursos financeiros e estruturais, mas que não impediram os proponentes de seguir em frente. Mais do que isso, o reconhecimento dos beneficiários e usuários faz com que reforcemos a necessidade de fortalecer ações que agregam inúmeros valores a vida laboral dos servidores públicos e a própria Universidade Pública.This book, in the form of a collection, constituted a broader process of reflection on public management within the University. Here, we start an important reflection, based on the process of systematizing experiences, experience reports, and research, about the Public University and its relationship with people and the sciences. In particular, chapter 1, from the collection of works presented at the II Seminar on Public Management, differs from the works submitted for the first edition. The experiences highlighted for this book reinforce UFRA's identity and mission, such as the results of the work “THE PATHS OF SCHOOL BREAKFAST: analysis of logistics in the supply chain in the municipality of Tomé-Açu” and “QVT ANALYSIS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF A PRODUCING COMPANY OF DENDÊ IN TOMÉ-AÇU / PA ”, and which also add value to managers and work teams when promoting the discussion of topics related to day-to-day work, such as: QUALITY OF LIFE AT WORK and STRATEGIC PEOPLE MANAGEMENT IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. In this sense, civil servants and researchers fulfill the function of supporting numerous discussions that have been held by Public Institutions on quality of life, inclusion, guarantee of rights, improvement of procedures, among others. Chapter II, as a collection of work experiences indicated for awards, is a very rich moment to realize the quantity and quality of actions planned, organized and carried out by public servants. In times when some public service practices are not well regarded, it is reinforced here that some of the reports were conceived amid a lack of financial and structural resources, but that did not prevent proponents from moving forward. More than that, the recognition of beneficiaries and users makes us reinforce the need to strengthen actions that add innumerable values ​​to the working life of public servants and the Public University itself

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used. We also request that users inform us of how they intend to use the data

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions. Please cite this data paper when using the data in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers inform us on how they are using the data

Implementation of a Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional (BALANCE) Program for improvement on quality of diet and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events: A randomized, multicenter trial

Background: Appropriate dietary recommendations represent a key part of secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the effectiveness of the implementation of a nutritional program on quality of diet, cardiovascular events, and death in patients with established CVD. Methods: In this open-label, multicenter trial conducted in 35 sites in Brazil, we randomly assigned (1:1) patients aged 45 years or older to receive either the BALANCE Program (experimental group) or conventional nutrition advice (control group). The BALANCE Program included a unique nutritional education strategy to implement recommendations from guidelines, adapted to the use of affordable and regional foods. Adherence to diet was evaluated by the modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, stroke, myocardial revascularization, amputation, or hospitalization for unstable angina. Secondary end points included biochemical and anthropometric data, and blood pressure levels. Results: From March 5, 2013, to Abril 7, 2015, a total of 2534 eligible patients were randomly assigned to either the BALANCE Program group (n = 1,266) or the control group (n = 1,268) and were followed up for a median of 3.5 years. In total, 235 (9.3%) participants had been lost to follow-up. After 3 years of follow-up, mean modified Alternative Healthy Eating Index (scale 0-70) was only slightly higher in the BALANCE group versus the control group (26.2 ± 8.4 vs 24.7 ± 8.6, P <.01), mainly due to a 0.5-serving/d greater intake of fruits and of vegetables in the BALANCE group. Primary end point events occurred in 236 participants (18.8%) in the BALANCE group and in 207 participants (16.4%) in the control group (hazard ratio, 1.15; 95% CI 0.95-1.38; P =.15). Secondary end points did not differ between groups after follow-up. Conclusions: The BALANCE Program only slightly improved adherence to a healthy diet in patients with established CVD and had no significant effect on the incidence of cardiovascular events or death. © 2019 The Author
