An Optimal Antibiotic Selection Framework for Sepsis Patients Using AI
In this work we present OptAB, the first completely data-driven online-updateable antibiotic selection model based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Sepsis patients accounting for side-effects. OptAB performs an iterative... read more
Lymphocyte Count Trajectories Associated with Prognosis of Sepsis Patients
Three distinct lymphocyte trajectories were identified in sepsis patients using GBTM. Trajectory 3 was a strong predictor of 7-day and 28-day mortality, while Trajectory 1 was associated with early death. These findings... read more
Rethinking Energy and Protein Provision for Critically Ill Patients
In critically ill patients, we suggest that energy and protein be delivered progressively in stable or recovering patients. If a patient deteriorates, regardless of days spent in the ICU, low-dose energy and protein should... read more
UFNET Fluid Removal Strategy Secured by Hemodynamic Monitoring vs. Standard of Care in patients with CRRT
An early and active UFNET strategy secured by an advanced hemodynamic protocol using dynamic indices of preload dependence had the capacity to control H72 FB in an ICU population of patients with acute circulatory failure,... read more
Correlation of Serum Albumin Levels With the Severity of Sepsis Among ICU Patients
In the present study, serum albumin level was noted as a reliable predictor of sepsis severity in ICU patients. Lower serum albumin levels were associated with higher SOFA scores, indicating more severe sepsis. This study... read more
Procalcitonin and Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio Trends in ICU Sepsis Patients
Understanding the trends of PCT and NLR concerning the infection source can provide deeper insights into their diagnostic and prognostic capabilities. This comparative analysis of PCT, NLR, and SOFA score trends contributes... read more
Plasma Bioactive Adrenomedullin Predicts Mortality and Need for Dialysis in Critical COVID-19
In this study, serial bio-ADM samples in the ICU had limited predictive power for mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients when looking at absolute values. Still, relative changes over time showed a much better prediction.... read more
Iloprost and Organ Dysfunction in Adults With Septic Shock and Endotheliopathy
In this randomized clinical trial of adults in the ICU with septic shock and severe endotheliopathy, infusion of iloprost, 1 ng/kg/min, for 72 hours did not reduce mean daily SOFA scores compared with placebo. In a clinical... read more
Impact of the Timing of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Sepsis Patients
In patients with sepsis admitted to ICU and received invasive mechanical ventilation (MV), early MV was associated with lower ICU and in-hospital mortality and a shorter ICU stay. Additionally, at ICU discharge, early... read more
ICU Cardiac Arrest Among Very Elderly Critically Ill Patients
The occurrence of ICU-CA in critically ill patients with advanced age (≥ 90 years) is relatively rare. The observed mortality in the ICU and hospital was exceedingly high. Notably, providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation... read more
Predictors of High-flow Nasal Cannula Failure in COVID-19 Patients
A retrospective cohort study was conducted during the months of March and May 2021. Data collection was based on a follow-up of 156 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 who were users of high-flow nasal cannula... read more
COVID-19 ARDS Patients vs. Patients with ARDS
Ventilation management may differ between COVID–19 ARDS (COVID–ARDS) patients and patients with pre–COVID ARDS (CLASSIC–ARDS); it is uncertain whether associations of ventilation management with outcomes for CLASSIC–ARDS... read more
Risk Factors for Mortality in Patients with Sepsis or Sepsis-associated Delirium Based on the MIMIC-IV Database
Research on the severity and prognosis of sepsis with or without progressive delirium is relatively insufficient. We constructed a prediction model of the risk factors for 28-day mortality in patients who developed sepsis... read more
BPRI and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Septic Shock
Use of the novel dose-effect index, Blood Pressure Response Index (BPRI) was proposed to allow rapid bedside assessment of the reactivity of septic shock patients to vasoactive drugs, as isolated MAP or VIS cannot reflect... read more
Secretomic Approach Value in COVID-19 Viral Pneumonia Among Patients With Respiratory Distress
this article presents an innovative and promising secretomic analysis to distinguish VPP patients from NV-ICU patients using combinations of protein markers. Among the identified proteins, ficolin-3 and proteoglycan-4 appear... read more
Predictive Value of Multiple Scoring Systems in the Prognosis of Septic Patients with Different Infection Sites
The heterogeneity nature of sepsis is significantly impacted by the site of infection. This study aims to explore the predictive value of multiple scoring systems in assessing the prognosis of septic patients across different... read more
Screening Tools for Sepsis Identification
The authors undertook a rapid review to determine the suitability of sepsis screening tools in the emergency setting with regard to sensitivity and specificity of sepsis diagnosis. The review recognized that there is currently... read more
