Objectives To describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) during initial months pandemic in Australia. Design, setting Prospective, observational cohort study 77 ICUs across Participants Patients participating laboratory-confirmed 27 February – 30 June 2020. Main outcome measures ICU mortality resource use (ICU length stay, peak bed occupancy). Results The median age 204 was 63.5 years (IQR, 53–72 years); 140 were men (69%)....
Importance Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite multiple randomized clinical trials of hemoglobin (Hb) thresholds for transfusion, little known about how these are incorporated into current practice. Objective To evaluate and describe ICU RBC practices worldwide. Design, Setting, Participants International, prospective, cohort study that involved 3643 adult from 233 ICUs in 30 countries on 6 continents March 2019 October...
Objective To compare the demographic and clinical features, management, outcomes for patients admitted with COVID-19 to intensive care units (ICUs) during first, second, third waves of pandemic in Australia. Design, setting, participants People aged 16 years or more polymerase chain reaction-confirmed 78 Australian ICUs participating Short Period Incidence Study Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SPRINT-SARI) Australia project first (27 February – 30 June 2020), second (1 July 2020 25...
IMPORTANCE: Blood transfusions are a common and potentially lifesaving intervention in ICU patients but associated with harm often transfused inconsistently guidelines. However, it is not well known how transfusion practice has recently changed if there variation practice. OBJECTIVES: To describe blood practices ICU, the across sites, to compare against national guidelines prior published DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective, multicenter, binational, observational study conducted...
To describe and compare the demographics, management, outcomes for patients with COVID-19 admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Australia across various waves of COVID pandemic. People aged ≥16 years who were a participating ICU confirmed Short Period Incidence Study Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SPRINT-SARI) study between February 2020 May 2024. Primary outcome: In-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes: mortality; hospital lengths stay; supportive disease-specific therapies....
Recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) administered for traumatic brain injury (TBI) may increase short-term survival, but the long-term effect is unknown. We conducted a pre-planned follow-up of patients in multicentre TBI trial (2010–2015). invited survivors to and evaluated survival functional outcome with Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) (categories 5–8 = good outcome), secondly, determined relative baseline function (sliding scale). used analysis assess time death absolute risk...
Objective: To report longitudinal differences in baseline characteristics, treatment, and outcomes patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) between the first second waves of COVID-19 Australia. Design, setting participants: SPRINT-SARI Australia is a multicentre, inception cohort study enrolling adult participating ICUs. The wave was from 27 February 30 June 2020, 1 July 22 October 2020. Results: A total 461 were recruited 53 ICUs across...
Objective An infectious disease outbreak such as the 2009 influenza pandemic is an unexpected demand shock to hospital emergency departments (EDs). We analysed changes in key performance metrics (EDs) Victoria during this assess impact of shock. Design and setting Descriptive time-series analysis longitudinal regression data from Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) using 38 EDs that submit state's Department Health Human Services. Main outcome measures Daily number presentations,...
