Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)

Abstract Aim Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) presents a therapeutic challenge, characterised by a paucity of validated treatments. Emerging data suggest that targeting adiposity is central to HFpEF pathogenesis. We conducted an updated network meta‐analysis to compare the efficacy of emerging and established HFpEF therapies ...
