ARDS Subphenotypes Validation and Utility Identified by Machine-learning Models

ARDS Subphenotypes Validation and Utility Identified by Machine-learning Models

Classifier models using clinical variables alone can accurately assign ARDS subphenotypes in observational cohorts. Application of these models can provide valuable prognostic information and could inform management strategies... read more

COVID-19 Mortality Prediction Model

COVID-19 Mortality Prediction Model

While there have been extensive analyses characterizing cellular and humoral responses across the severity spectrum in COVID-19, predictors of outcomes within severe COVID-19 remain to be comprehensively elucidated. Recently,... read more

Predict Sepsis-Associated Vasopressor Use in the ICU

Predict Sepsis-Associated Vasopressor Use in the ICU

Domain adaptation improved performance of a model predicting sepsis-associated vasopressor use during external validation. 40 retrospectively collected features from the electronic medical records of adult ICU patients... read more

The Use of Different Sepsis Risk Stratification Tools Uncovers Different Mortality Risks

The Use of Different Sepsis Risk Stratification Tools Uncovers Different Mortality Risks

Our data suggest that the sepsis risk stratification tools currently utilized in emergency departments and on the general wards do not predict mortality adequately. This is illustrated by the disparity in mortality risk... read more

Epidemiology of Intravenous Immune Globulin in Septic Shock

Epidemiology of Intravenous Immune Globulin in Septic Shock

Intravenous immune globulin is used infrequently across the US in patients with septic shock. Regimens of IVIG in septic shock may be less intensive than those associated with a survival benefit in meta-analyses. Observed... read more

Post‑COVID‑19 Syndrome in Outpatients

Post‑COVID‑19 Syndrome in Outpatients

Background Some patients experience long-term symptoms after COVID-19, but data on outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 are scarce. Objective To describe persisting symptoms more than 3 months after infection in PCR-confirmed... read more

Clinical Features and Predictors in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

Clinical Features and Predictors in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients

We aim to describe a case series of critically and non-critically ill COVID-19 patients in Singapore. This was a multicentered prospective study with clinical and laboratory details. Details for fifty uncomplicated COVID-19... read more

Mediastinal lymphadenopathy may predict 30-day mortality in COVID-19 patients

Mediastinal lymphadenopathy may predict 30-day mortality in COVID-19 patients

Along with older age and consolidation pattern,enlarged mediastinal lymphadenopathy was found to be an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in patients with COVID-19. Although enlarged mediastinal lymphadenopathy... read more

Clinical Prediction Models: A Practical Approach to Development, Validation, and Updating

Prediction models are important in various fields, including medicine, physics, meteorology, and finance. Prediction models will become more relevant in the medical field with the increase in knowledge on potential predictors... read more

Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality After RRT Calls

Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality After RRT Calls

Despite wide adoption of rapid response teams across the United States, predictors of in-hospital mortality for patients receiving rapid response team calls are poorly characterized. Identification of patients at high risk... read more

Scoring System Predicts Difficult Airways in Obese Patients

Scoring System Predicts Difficult Airways in Obese Patients

As a result of the literature review, the researchers created a scoring system for independent predictors of a difficult airway in morbid obesity.... read more
