Patients (pts) from two prospective trials were analyzed, provided postinduction (PInd) restaging was performed. Pts received three cycles with bortezomib (btz), cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone (dex; VCD) or btz, lenalidomide (len), and dex (VRd) or len, adriamycin, and dex (RAD). The minimum required estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was >30 mL/min. We analyzed the percent change of the renal function using the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)-defined categories. Results: Seven hundred and seventy-two patients were eligible. Three hundred and fifty-six received VCD, 214 VRd, and 202 RAD. VCD patients had the best baseline eGFR. The proportion of pts with eGFR <45 mL/min decreased from 7.3\% at baseline to 1.9\% PInd (p < 0.0001). Thirty-seven point one percent of VCD versus 49\% of VRd patients had a decrease of GFR (p = 0.0872). IMWG-defined "renal complete response (CRrenal)" was achieved in 17/25 (68\%) pts after VCD, 12/19 (63\%) after RAD, and 14/27 (52\%) after VRd (p = 0.4747). Conclusions: Analyzing a large and representative newly diagnosed myeloma (NDMM) group, we found no difference in CRrenal that occurred independently from the myeloma response across the three regimens. A trend towards deterioration of the renal function with VRd versus VCD may be explained by a better pretreatment "renal fitness" in the latter group.}, language = {en} } @article{WurmbFrankeSchorscheretal.2020, author = {Wurmb, Thomas and Franke, Axel and Schorscher, Nora and Kowalzik, Barbara and Helm, Matthias and Bohnen, Renate and Helmerichs, Jutta and Grueneisen, Ulrich and Cwojdzinski, Detlef and Jung, Georg and L{\"u}cking, Gesa and Weber, Martin}, title = {Emergency response to terrorist attacks: results of the federal-conducted evaluation process in Germany}, series = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, volume = {46}, journal = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, issn = {1863-9933}, doi = {10.1007/s00068-020-01347-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-231777}, pages = {725-730}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Purpose Rescue missions during terrorist attacks are extremely challenging for all rescue forces (police as well as non-police forces) involved. To improve the quality and safety of the rescue missions during an active killing event, it is obligatory to adapt common rescue mission goals and strategies. Methods After the recent attacks in Europe, the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance started an evaluation process on behalf of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Ministry of Health. This was done to identify weaknesses, lessons learned and to formulate new adapted guidelines. Results The presented bullet point recommendations summarise the basic and most important results of the ongoing evaluation process for the Federal Republic of Germany. The safety of all the rescue forces and survival of the greatest possible number of casualties are the priority goals. Furthermore, the preservation and re-establishment of the socio-political integrity are the overarching goals of the management of active killing events. Strategic incident priorities are to stop the killing and to save as much lives as possible. The early identification and prioritised transportation of casualties with life-threatening non-controllable bleeding are major tasks and the shortest possible on-scene time is an important requirement with respect to safety issues. Conclusion With respect to hazard prevention tactics within Germany, we attributed the highest priority impact to the bullet points. The focus of the process has now shifted to intense work about possible solutions for the identified deficits and implementation strategies of such solutions during mass killing incidents.}, language = {en} }
