Mark W. Tenforde et al.

Summary: From March to May 2021, full vaccination using authorized mRNA products was associated with 87.1% protection against COVID-19 hospitalization among US adults, with lower effectiveness in adults with immunosuppression compared to those without. Vaccination was beneficial for patients with immunosuppression, but the effectiveness was lower in this population.

The chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injury involvement in COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Ya-Fei Liu et al.

Summary: The study indicates that patients with severe COVID-19 are more likely to have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and complications of acute kidney injury (AKI). Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is more frequently used in severe patients, and the risk of AKI is higher in the critical group.

Merryn Voysey et al.

Summary: The AZD1222 vaccine has been approved for emergency use in the UK with an interval of 4-12 weeks between doses. Analysis shows that the vaccine is efficacious with two doses and provides immunoprotection after the first dose before the second dose is administered.

Claudius Speer et al.

Summary: Patients receiving long-term hemodialysis show a reduced antibody response to the first and second doses of the mRNA vaccine BNT162b2. The majority (82%) develop neutralizing antibodies after the second dose but at lower levels than healthy controls.

Humoral Response after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccination in a Cohort of Hemodialysis Patients and Kidney Transplant Recipients

Clement Danthu et al.

Summary: The study shows that kidney transplant recipients have a strong inhibition of humoral response to COVID-19 vaccination due to immunosuppressant therapy, while patients undergoing hemodialysis have lower antibody levels. Factors such as age, serum albumin, and Kt/V can impact the level of antibody response.

Helen Parry et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the immune responses of participants aged 80+ years after dual vaccination with BNT162b2 mRNA or ChAdOx1 adenovirus vaccines, showing strong humoral and cellular responses in older individuals. Dual vaccination induced higher antibody responses with the mRNA vaccine and higher cellular responses with the adenovirus-based vaccine, highlighting the potential benefits of heterologous vaccine platforms.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in producing neutralizing antibodies, finding 100% production after the second dose in both groups and well-tolerated side effects. Additionally, a single dose of the vaccine may be sufficient for immunity in individuals with prior COVID-19 infection, with possible signs of immunosenescence.

Prognostic Implication of Longitudinal Changes in Cardiothoracic Ratio and Aortic Arch Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients

Tung-Ling Chung et al.

Summary: In this longitudinal follow-up study of 260 hemodialysis patients from 2008 to 2015, it was found that both CTR and AoAC increased over time and were associated with factors such as age, gender, and comorbidities. The change in CTR was greater in patients who died compared to those who survived, indicating that changes in CTR and AoAC can serve as prognostic markers for patients.

Summary: Effective preventive measures against COVID-19 were implemented in an HD center in Taiwan, resulting in lower incidence rate compared to national and local estimates, with Keelung having the highest incidence among HD patients. Only one patient in the center got infected with COVID-19 and secondary transmission was contained successfully under the implemented measures.

Immunogenicity of single vaccination with BNT162b2 or ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 at 5-6 weeks post vaccine in participants aged 80 years or older: an exploratory analysis

Helen Parry et al.

Summary: This study investigated the antibody and cellular responses of older people after receiving a single dose of Pfizer-BioNTech's BNT162b2 vaccine or Oxford University-AstraZeneca's ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. The findings showed that single doses of either vaccine induced humoral immunity in most participants, which was significantly enhanced by previous infection. Cellular responses were weaker, but showed improvement after receiving the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine at the 5-6 week timepoint.

Summary: A total of 3261 confirmed COVID-19 cases were identified in 29 articles from a pool of 396,062 HD patients. The incidence of COVID-19 in these HD patients was 7.7%, with an overall mortality rate of 22.4%. Reported estimates were higher in non-Asian countries compared to Asian countries. Study quality may affect the reported incidence but not the mortality among studies.
