We endeavored to construct a simple score based entirely on epidemiological and clinical variables that would stratify patients who require hospital admission because of community-acquired pneumonia into groups with low or high risk developing bacteremia.Derivation internal validation cohorts were obtained by retrospective analysis database included 3116 consecutive from 2 university hospitals. Potential predictive factors determined means multivariate logistic regression equation applied...
Although the prevalence of community-acquired respiratory bacterial coinfection upon hospital admission in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been reported to be < 5%, almost three-quarters received antibiotics. We aim investigate whether procalcitonin (PCT) or C-reactive protein (CRP) could helpful biomarkers identify among COVID-19 pneumonia. carried out a multicentre, observational cohort study including consecutive admitted 55 Spanish intensive care units (ICUs). The...
Critically ill patients with obesity (PwO) have anthropometric characteristics that can be associated different nutritional-metabolic requirements than other critically patients. However, recommendations regarding nutrition delivery in PwO are not clearly established among the published clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). Our main aim was to evaluate impact of energy and protein intake PwO. A multicenter (n = 37) prospective observational study performed. Adult requiring medical therapy...
Background Heart failure (HF) is a common cause of pleural effusion (PE); however, its diagnosis can be challenging owing to overlapping clinical features with other causes. Measuring NT-proBNP levels diagnostically useful, but the optimal cut-off point must determined. This study aimed optimize cutoffs for diagnosing HF-related PEs and develop scoring model improve diagnostic precision. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 2005 patients PEs, who were divided into derivation...
Apophyseal injuries are common in children and adolescent athletes. These believed to be caused by repetitive overloading, which can create inflammatory degenerative conditions growing bone prominences. However, their prevalence, diagnosis, treatment young soccer players have been understudied.To evaluate characteristics of apophyseal athletes at an elite academy.Case series; Level evidence, 4.All between July 2008 June 2015 were evaluated. For each injury, the authors recorded type...
Objectives Hamstring injuries are the most common muscle in team sports. The aims of this study were to describe epidemiology hamstring professional and amateur sport sections a multi-sport club Football Club Barcelona (FCB) determine any potential correlation between return-to-play (RTP) injury location, severity connective tissue damage, age, sex, athlete's level competition.Methods This descriptive epidemiological with data collected from September 2007 2017 stored FCB database. included...
Background and objective: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that measurement of IL‐8 CRP in pleural fluid could improve identification patients with non‐purulent parapneumonic effusions ultimately require chest tube drainage. Methods: We assessed IL‐8, three classical parameters (pH, glucose LDH) 100 effusions. Forty‐nine these had complicated (complicated effusion, CPPE), 51 uncomplicated (UPPE). Receiver‐operating characteristic curves were used assess sensitivity specificity...
Development of three classification trees (CT) based on the CART (Classification and Regression Trees), CHAID (Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection) C4.5 methodologies for calculation probability hospital mortality; comparison results with APACHE II, SAPS II MPM II-24 scores, a model multiple logistic regression (LR). Retrospective study 2864 patients. Random partition (70:30) into Set (DS) n = 1808 Validation (VS) 808. Their properties discrimination are compared ROC curve (AUC CI...
Breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) is defined according to its principal characteristics: high intensity, short time interval between onset and peak duration, potential recurrence over 24 h non-responsiveness standard analgesic regimes. The Edmonton Classification System for Cancer Pain (ECS-CP) a classification tool that evaluates different dimensions of pain. aim this study was measure prevalence the main characteristics BTcP in sample advanced patients explore complexity observed when ECS-CP...
Abstract Background Interest in models for calculating the risk of death traumatic patients admitted to ICUs remains high. These use variables derived from deviation physiological parameters and/or severity anatomical lesions with respect affected body areas. Our objective is create different predictive mortality critically using machine learning techniques. Methods We used 9625 records RETRAUCI database (National Trauma Registry 52 Spanish period 2015–2019). Hospital was 12.6%. Data on...
Background & aimsThe importance of artificial nutritional therapy is underrecognized, typically being considered an adjunctive rather than a primary therapy. We aimed to evaluate the influence on mortality in critically ill patients.MethodsThis multicenter prospective observational study included adult patients needing for >48 h if they stayed one 38 participating intensive care units ≥72 between April and July 2018. Demographic data, comorbidities, diagnoses, status (type details ≤14 days),...
The early identification of the onset subclinical atheromatosis is essential in reducing high mortality risk from cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. Although carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) most commonly used predictor ongoing atherosclerosis, an experimental model demonstrated that increases adventitial microvessels (vasa vasorum (VV)) precede endothelial dysfunction. Using reported accuracy contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) to measure VV, this study assessed whether...
Acute non-traumatic chest pain (ANTCP) is the second cause of consultation in Emergency department (ED). About 70% all Myocardial Infarctions present as non persistent ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) electrocardiogram. Our aim was to compare whether HEART risk score more effective than GRACE and TIMI scores for diagnosis prognosis Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) at six weeks patients with ANTCP NSTE-ACS. A prospective cohort study conducted that attended an ED a Primary...
