@entity1 @entity101 @entity3657 @entity6 @entity460 @entity850 @entity543 @entity65 @entity454
AIM: @entity65 are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in @entity454 ( @entity454 ) @entity1 . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the predominance of @entity543 and @entity3657 ( @entity3657 ) in a group of @entity1 subject to dialysis compared with a control group. METHODS: It is a control-case study performed on @entity1 at different hemodialysis facilities; the exams were carried out in ambulatory care. Two groups of @entity1 were examined, the first group was made up of 40 dialysis @entity1 (46.6% @entity1 , average age 58.8), the second was the control group made up of 58 subjects matched by age, sex, arterial pressure, presence of @entity6 and smoking habits. All @entity1 underwent an Eco-Color Doppler exam on the over aortal trunks and lower extremities and had their Ankle-Brakial-Index (ABI) measured. Carotid @entity850 was considered only if equal or over 50%. RESULTS: Twenty percent of dialysis @entity1 showed @entity543 ( @entity543 ) versus 12% in the control group, with an OR of 7.9 (CI 95% 1.3-47.7) adjusted to sex, age and @entity101 . The ultrasound picture of the lesions showed large amounts of @entity460 deposits. Predominance of @entity3657 in dialysis @entity1 was 20% versus 9% in the control group. In dialysis @entity1 the OR adjusted to age, sex and arterial pressure was 6.3 (CI 95%, 1.2-32.6). CONCLUSION: The ultrasound picture of the lesions showed mainly underpopliteal lesions with ''rosary bead'' calcifications. In @entity6 @entity1 the OR was 7.6 (CI 95% 1.4-46.3).
