Relationship between hepatitis C and kidney stone in US females: Results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The main objective of this study is to explore the effects of hepatitis C (HCV) on the prevalence rate of kidney stones in US women.

Method

Dates for HCV infection and kidney stones were collected from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, a cross-sectional study. The analysis samples included adults aged ≥20 years and women from six consecutive cycles of the NHANES 2007-2018. The association between HCV infection and kidney stones was performed by using logistic regression models. Subgroup analyses were conducted to find sensitive crowds.

Results

A total of 13,262 participants were enrolled, including 201 infected with HCV. After adjustment for potential confounders, we revealed a positive relationship between HCV and kidney stones (OR = 1.70, 95%CI:1.13-2.56). The crowds' statistically significant difference was characterized by other races (OR = 8.17, 95%CI:1.62-41.22) and BMI within 25-29.9 kg/m2 (OR = 2.45, 95%CI:1.24-4.83).

Conclusions

HCV infection may affect the prevalence of urolithiasis in US women, even the causal relationship remains unclear, the relation deserves special attention. We considered such a study an ideal way to begin exploring the effects of HCV on kidney stones.

Project description:Hysterectomy is the most common type of gynecological operation in the United States. However, complications can occur during or after the operation. Some studies suggest that hysterectomy may increase the risk of stroke. However, other studies have found different conclusions on this matter. This inconsistent conclusion may be due to small sample sizes or limited covariates. So, we sought to further investigate the correlation between hysterectomy and stroke. Our analysis was based on the data from 2007-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We excluded participants with missing hysterectomy data (Question "Have you had a hysterectomy, including a partial hysterectomy, that is, surgery to remove {your/her} uterus or womb?"), participants with missing stroke data (Question "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you had a stroke?), a total of 15,241 participants were included in our analysis. To estimate the correlation between hysterectomy and stroke, logistic regression models were used after adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related factors, including age, race, education level, marital status, annual family income, body mass index (BMI), alcohol consumption in the past 12 months, having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in a lifetime, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes. The unadjusted model suggests that women who had undergone a hysterectomy were 3.15 [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.67-3.71] times more likely to have a stroke than women who had not undergone a hysterectomy. In the crude and fully-adjusted models, the correlation between hysterectomy and stroke was consistent [odds ratio (OR)crude-adjusted =1.55 (95% CI: 1.30-1.85), ORfully-adjusted =1.36 (95% CI: 1.14-1.63)]. In the subgroup analysis stratified by age, hysterectomy seemed to have more risk for stroke occurrence regardless of subgroup, even after adjusting sociodemographic and health-related factors. Interestingly, the women who were less than or equal to 50 years old had greater odds of stroke (ORfully-adjusted =1.96) compared with women who were aged older than 50 (ORfully-adjusted =1.42). In our study, we concluded hysterectomy may increase the risk of stroke. However, as our study is a cross-sectional study and unmeasured covariates may still exist, more researches are required to confirm this conclusion.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been routinely recommended at age 11-12 years in the United States for females since 2006 and males since 2011. Coverage can be estimated using self/parent-reported HPV vaccination collected in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for a wider age range than other national surveys. We assessed vaccination coverage in 2015-2016, temporal trends by age, and the validity of self/parent-reported vaccination status. METHODS:Participants aged 9-59 years completed an interview collecting demographic and vaccination information. Weighted coverage was estimated for two-year NHANES cycles by age group for 2007-2008 to 2015-2016 for females (N = 14318) and 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 for males (N = 7847). Temporal trends in coverage were assessed from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 for females and from 2011-2012 to 2015-2016 for both sexes. Sensitivity and specificity of self/parent-reported vaccination were assessed using provider-verified vaccination records from a pilot study in 14-29 year-olds. RESULTS:In 2015-2016, ≥1 dose coverage among females was highest in 14-19 (54.7%) and 20-24 (56.0%) year-olds and lower in successively older age groups. Among males, ≥1 dose coverage was highest in 14-19 year-olds (39.5%) and lower at older ages. Coverage was similar in 9-13 year-old females and males. Between 2007-2008 and 2011-2012, there were increases among females younger than 30 years. Between 2011-2012 and 2015-2016, there were increases among female age groups including 20-39 year-olds; male coverage increased among ages 9-13, 14-19, and 20-24 years. Self/parent-reported receipt of ≥1 dose had a sensitivity and specificity of 87.0% and 83.3%. Performance was lower for 3 doses. CONCLUSIONS:While overall HPV vaccination coverage remains low, it is higher in females than males, except in 9-13 year-olds. There have been increases in coverage among many age groups, but coverage has stalled in younger females. Adequate validity was demonstrated for self/parent-reported vaccination of ≥1 dose, but not 3 doses, in a pilot study.

Project description:BackgroundAccumulating evidence suggests that elevated serum uric acid (SUA) may be a risk factor for hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). However, the epidemiological evidence for the association between SUA and HTG is limited. This article aimed to use the data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) database to bridge the research gap.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used data from 10027 adults involved in NHANES from 2007-2018. We designed the exposure variable as SUA and the outcome variable as HTG. The covariates included demographics, questionnaires, laboratory, and examination information. Weighted logistic regression and subgroup analysis were used to explore the independent association between SUA and HTG. Furthermore, interaction tests were also carried out to evaluate the strata differences. Generalized additive models (GAM), smooth curve fittings, and threshold effect analysis were applied to examine the non-linear relationship.ResultsA total of 10027 participants were included, of which 3864 were HTG participants and 6163 were non-HTG participants. After fully adjusting for confounders, weighted multiple logistic regression models revealed a 77% increase in the risk of HTG when each unit of log2-SUA increased. There was also a positive association between elevated log2-SUA and developed risk of HTG in the quartile (Q) groups (Q1 OR: 1.00; Q2 OR: 1.17 [95%CI: 0.95,1.45]; Q3 OR: 1.43 [95%CI: 1.16,1.78]; Q4 OR: 1.68 [95%CI: 1.36,2.08]. The subgroup analysis results remained consistent across strata, with a strong positive correlation between SUA and HTG. Interaction tests showed no dependence on physical activity (PA), gender, BMI, smoking status, alcohol intake, hypertension, and diabetes for this positive association between log2-SUA and HTG (all p for interaction >0.05). The participants' age may impact the strength of the association between SUA and HTG (p for interaction <0.05).ConclusionThere is a positive association between SUA and HTG in US adults. Considering that SUA may be a risk factor for HTG, individuals diagnosed with HTG should prioritize the daily management of SUA as part of their comprehensive care.

Project description:BackgroundKidney stone disease (KSD) is a widespread problem in urology. But the associations between the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), an important indicator for assessing the nutritional status of elderly hospitalized patients, and KSD are understudied.ObjectiveUtilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007-2018, our study analyzed the correlation between the GNRI and KSD prevalence at cross-sectional level. The aim of the study was to explore the association between GNRI and the prevalence of KSD to identify potential risk factors and inform prevention and management strategies for KSD.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data focusing on 26,803 adults (20-80 years) after screening for complete data. It evaluated GNRI, a formula involving albumin, present, and ideal body weight, stratifying participants into quartiles. The primary outcome was the history of KSD, based on self-reports. Covariates included demographic, health, and lifestyle factors. Statistical analysis employed t-tests, ANOVA, Wilcoxon, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, with logistic regression modeling GNRI's impact on KSD prevalence, assessing odds ratios and potential multicollinearity, and sensitivity analyses excluding individuals with low eGFR and adjusting cycle years.ResultsSignificant disparities are found in GNRI distributions between individuals with and without kidney stones. Higher GNRI levels are more common in kidney stone patients, with 39.249% in the highest quartile versus 33.334% in those without stones. Notably, those in the highest GNRI quartile (Q4) show a lower prevalence of kidney stone disease (KSD) than those in the lowest (Q1), with rates of 11.988% versus 8.631%, respectively (P < 0.0001). Adjusted model results reveal that higher GNRI quartiles (Q3-Q4) correlate with reduced KSD prevalence, with odds ratios of 0.85 (95% CI [0.72, 1.00]) and 0.76 (95% CI [0.65, 0.89]). A nonlinear inverse relationship exists between GNRI levels and KSD prevalence across the population (P < 0.001), confirming that higher GNRI lowers KSD prevalence. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses support these findings.ConclusionThe study underscores a significant, albeit nonlinear, association between elevated GNRI levels and decreased KSD prevalence. This relationship highlights the importance of nutritional assessment and management in KSD prevention strategies.
