“…In a recent cross-sectional study we explored the association between postural balance and history of falls in a group of prevalent end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients living with a kidney transplant (KT) [1] . Inclusion criteria were: age ≥ 18 years, able to provide written informed consent, male or female, and fluent in Italian.…”

“…One researcher administered a single-item survey to all participants, in which the following operational definition of a “fall” was provided: “an unexpected event in which the participant comes to rest on the ground, floor, or lower level” [4] . Participants reporting at least one fall were classified as fallers and they were also asked about the perceived cause of falling [1] . This falls appraisal method has been shown to have high specificity (91–95%) and relatively lower sensitivity (80–89%) compared to the criterion standard (prospective fall data recorded by means of falls diaries/postcards) [5] .…”

“…This article describes postural control data of kidney transplant patients, with and without history of falls, from a previous publication [1] . The full dataset is presented in supplementary file 1 (S1) and describes the postural balance performance of research participants, as assessed through center of pressure (CoP) measures of range, velocity and area during static posturography.…”

“…The full dataset is presented in supplementary file 1 (S1) and describes the postural balance performance of research participants, as assessed through center of pressure (CoP) measures of range, velocity and area during static posturography. In Table 1 , we report the minimal detectable changes (MDC) of the postural balance variables (measured in study [1] ) calculated from the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) of the same variables. The ICC estimates were computed with SPSS (Version 23.0 for Windows, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) by means of a single measurement, absolute agreement, two-way mixed-effects model [2] .…”

This article presents data from a research paper entitled “Postural balance, muscle strength, and history of falls in end-stage renal disease patients living with a kidney transplant: a cross-sectional study” available in Journal Gait and Posture [1] . In this article, we reported the minimal detectable changes at the 95% level of confidence (MDC 95 ) of postural balance variables measured in eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) conditions, with a stabilometric platform, in 59 kidney transplant (KT) recipients (mean age= 53.2 ± 11 years). In addition, we also performed receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis to explore the ability of postural balance measures to discriminate fallers and non-fallers (history of falls: yes or no). Sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve (AUC) of mean center of pressure velocity (CoPv), sway area (SA), center of pressure range of displacement in the anterior-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) directions were calculated. These data can be used by researchers aiming to design psychometric studies of postural balance in KT patients and they also provide clinicians with information on possible prioritization of outcome assessment for future fall-risk research in this clinical population.

Purpose Aerobic exercise capacity is reduced in patients with chronic kidney disease, partly due to alterations at the muscular and microvascular level. This study evaluated oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics as indicator of muscular oxidative metabolism in a population of Kidney Transplant Recipients (KTRs). Methods Two groups of KTRs enrolled 3 (n = 21) and 12 months (n = 14) after transplantation and a control group of healthy young adults (n = 16) underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing on cycle-ergometer. The protocol consisted in two subsequent constant, moderate-load exercise phases with a final incremental test until exhaustion. Results The time constant of VO2 kinetics was slower in KTRs at 3 and 12 months after transplantation compared to controls (50.4 ± 13.1 s and 43.8 ± 11.6 s vs 28.9 ± 8.4 s, respectively; P < 0.01). Peak VO2 was lower in KTRs evaluated 3 months after transplantation compared to patients evaluated after 1 year (21.3 ± 4.3 and 26.4 ± 8.0 mL/kg/min; P = 0.04). Blood haemoglobin (Hb) concentration was higher in KTRs evaluated at 12 months (12.8 ± 1.7 vs 14.6 ± 1.7 g/dL; P < 0.01). Among KTRs, τ showed a moderate negative correlation with Peak VO2 (ρ = − 0.52) and Oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) (r = − 0.57) while no significant correlation with Hb and peak heart rate. Conclusions KTRs show slower VO2 kinetics compared to healthy controls. Hb and peak VO2 seem to improve during the first year after transplantation. VO2 kinetics were significantly associated with indices of cardiorespiratory fitness, but less with central determinants of aerobic capacity, thus suggesting a potential usefulness of adding this index of muscular oxidative metabolism to functional evaluation in KTRs.
