ABSTRACT Background Studies have described Mesoamerican nephropathy among agricultural workers of El Salva- dor and northwestern Nicaragua. Data on prevalence and risk factors for CKD beyond agricultural workers and in other regions in Nicaragua are sparse. Methods We recruited participants from 32 randomly selected communities in the Department of Rivas’s ten municipalities in two phases. In phase 1, we screened participants using a field-based capillary creat- inine measuring system and collected self-reported information on lifestyle and occupational, exposure, and health histories. Two years later, in phase 2, we enrolled 222 new participants, performing serum creatinine testing in these participants and confirmatory serum creatinine testing in phase 1 participants. Results We enrolled 1242 of 1397 adults (89%) living in 533 households (median age 41 years; 43% male). We confirmed CKD (eGFR,60 ml/min per 1.73 m2) in 53 of 1227 (4.3%) evaluable participants. In multivari- able testing, risk factors for prevalent CKD included age (odds ratio [OR], 1.92; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.89 to 1.96) and self-reported history of hypertension (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.04 to 3.64), diabetes (OR, 2.88; 95% CI, 1.40 to 5.93), or current or past work in the sugarcane industry (OR 2.92; 95% CI, 1.36 to 6.27). Conclusions Adjusted CKD prevalence was about 5% with repeat confirmatory testing in southwest Nicar- agua, lower than in the northwest region. Risk factors included diabetes, hypertension, and current or prior work in the sugarcane industry but not in other forms of agricultural work. Formal CKD surveillance programs in Nicaragua are needed to assess the overall burden of CKD nationally, with a focus on agri- cultural workers.

  • Initial Report Submitted by Nicaragua Under Article 35 of the Convention, Due in 2009*, **
    United Nations CRPD/C/NIC/1 Convention on the Rights Distr.: General 20 July 2020 of Persons with Disabilities English Original: Spanish English, Russian and Spanish only Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Initial report submitted by Nicaragua under article 35 of the Convention, due in 2009*, ** [Date received: 8 May 2019] * The present document is being issued without formal editing. ** The annexes may be consulted in the files of the Committee secretariat. GE.20-09725 (E) 231020 261020 CRPD/C/NIC/1 I. Introduction 1. Nicaragua has a land area of 130,373.5 square kilometres (km2),1 which has now been extended by 90,000 km2 of the Caribbean Sea, an area it obtained the rights to through the International Court of Justice. Serving a population of 5,954,900 inhabitants, 2 the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity takes seriously its commitment to provide comprehensive support to persons with disabilities through social, economic and political programmes. Persons with disabilities themselves drive progress in the attainment of their rights through the direct participation of their representatives in federations and associations. 2. The State and Government have led a determined fight to restore the rights of the Nicaraguan population through State institutions, trade organizations and social movements, thus fully re-establishing lost rights that were denied for 16 years by the neoliberal leaders who reversed the progress that had been achieved during the first phase of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in the 1980s. 3. The 2012–2016 National Human Development Plan sets out lines of action for building an egalitarian, fair and compassionate society that is committed to the fundamental values of Nicaraguans from all of the country’s communities, and especially from historically excluded groups, such as persons with disabilities, that are now being prioritized and actively integrated.

Although there is concern of an “epidemic” of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in this country, statistics regarding its magnitude are derived from only a small number of non-representative studies. Budgetary constraints and the logistical problems of maintaining a study cohort make longitudinal studies difficult. The Rivas Cohort was created to measure disease burden of CKD and other public health priorities in the Department of Rivas, Nicaragua. Using primarily volunteer research students and technologic innovation including GPS, digital photography and point of care biochemical analysis, the ability to establish a longitudinal chronic disease cohort is demonstrated. Methods: Subjects were recruited from consecutive adjacent households in thirty-two randomly selected communities in the ten municipalities that comprise the Department of Rivas in southern Pacific coastal Nicaragua. The study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, subjects were enrolled into the cohort and consented for future re-contact. In Phase II, conducted two years later, attempts were made to re-contact 400 of these subjects for additional data collection.
