  • App for Serum Phosphate Control: a Randomized Controlled Trial
    Original Investigation Multidisciplinary Team versus a “Phosphate-Counting” App for Serum Phosphate Control: A Randomized Controlled Trial Ana Cecilia Farfan-Ruiz,1 Daniel Czikk,2 Julie Leidecker,3 Tim Ramsay,4 Brendan McCormick,1,3 Kumanan Wilson,5 and Deborah Zimmerman 1,3 Abstract Background Hyperphosphatemia is almost universal in well-nourished patients with ESKD treated with dialysis due to an imbalance between dietary intake and phosphate removal via residual kidney function and dialysis. Although food phosphate content can vary dramatically between meals, the current standard is to prescribe a fixed dose of phosphate binder that may not match meal phosphate intake. The primary objective of our study was to determine if the use of an app that matches phosphate binder dose with food phosphate content would be associated with an improvement in serum phosphate and a reduction in calcium carbonate intake compared with the multidisciplinary renal team. Methods Eighty patients with ESKD treated with peritoneal dialysis at a tertiary care hospital in Canada were randomized to the standard of care for serum phosphate management (multidisciplinary renal team) versus the OkKidney app. Serum phosphate was measured at baseline and then monthly for 3 months with adjustments to phosphate management as deemed necessary by the multidisciplinary team (control) or the phosphate binder multiplier in the OkKidney app (intervention) on the basis of the laboratory values. The primary analysis was an unpaired t test of the serum phosphate at study completion. Results The participants were 56 (614) years old, and 54% were men; the most common cause of ESKD was diabetes mellitus.

  • Referral Form to Colorectal Cancer Screening Program
    Referral Form to Colorectal Cancer Screening Program FOR HIGH RISK PATIENTS ONLY A guide for referring physicians The Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (CCSP) aims to save lives by improving access to colorectal cancer screening exams for those at increased risk. As the referring physician, you may use the attached form to refer patients to the CCSP at The Ottawa Hospital, Queensway Carleton Hospital or the Montfort Hospital. Once the referral is received at the hospital, patients will be scheduled to have a colonoscopy performed by one of the program physicians. The hospital will communicate directly with the referred patients to educate them about the procedure and the scheduled procedure date. REFERRAL FORM INSTRUCTIONS: Indication for the referral The Colorectal Cancer Screening Program is only applicable to patients who require colonoscopy screening due to a positive Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT), or a colorectal cancer diagnosis in at least one first degree relative (parent, sibling, child). Those being referred to the program with a family history of colorectal cancer should be at least 50 years of age OR ten years younger than the age at which their first degree relative was diagnosed - whichever is younger. All other referrals for colonoscopy must be referred directly to the gastroenterologist or surgeon of your choosing. Note: NO direct referral to any one of the program gastroenterologists or surgeons will be permitted using this program referral form. Significant medical history It is important that all significant and relevant patient medical history be provided on the referral form. If the answer is “Yes” to any of the pre-existing conditions, the patient will be assessed for medical readiness by the physician performing the colonoscopy prior to their scheduled procedure date.
