In Asian populations, the correlation between sepsis outcomes and body mass is unclear. A multicenter, prospective, observational study conducted September 2019 December 2020 evaluated obesity's effects on in a national cohort.Nineteen tertiary referral hospitals or university-affiliated South Korea.Adult patients with ( n = 6,424) were classified into obese 1,335) nonobese groups 5,089).Obese propensity score-matched ratio of 1:1. Inhospital mortality was primary outcome. After score...
The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in cases near-fatal asthma (NFA) has increased, but the benefits and potential complications this therapy have yet to be fully investigated.Cases were extracted from Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry between March 1992 2016. All patients with a diagnosis (according International Classification Diseases 9th edition), who also received ECMO, extracted. Exclusion criteria included underwent multiple courses ECMO; those ECMO...
The impact of malnutrition on the outcome hospitalized adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has not been fully investigated. This study evaluated prevalence and prognostic significance in a Korean population CAP.
Background: Malnutrition exacerbates the prognosis of various diseases; however, its specific impact on severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outcomes remains underexplored.Methods: This multicenter study in Korea assessed nutritional status 1,088 adults with COVID-19 using Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) based serum albumin levels and body weight.The patients were divided into GNRI>98 (no-risk) GNRI≤98 (risk) groups.Propensity score matching, adjusted for demographic clinical...
Background and aims: Conventional approaches for stroke rehabilitation primarily involve static muscle strengthening exercises, weight bearing shifting by therapists. Robot-assisted gait training facilitates the learning of reproducible symmetric patterns reduces expenditure. The GTR-A (HUCASYSTEM, Korea), a robotic device both upper lower limbs, utilizes end-effector-based movement provides to enhance function. In this study, we aim elucidate clinical efficacy therapy using in...
Objective: A functional immune system is essential for recovery from pneumonia; hence, measuring and monitoring immune-status indicators clinically important. This study aimed to determine whether QuantiFERON (QMF) could predict healthcare-associated infection (HCAI) according the of patients with pneumonia. Methods: Prospective, observational, single-center study, ≥ 19 years hospitalized pneumonia between October 2020 November 2021. QFM was performed at hospital admission (D1) seven days...
Objectives We compared the ischemia and rescue rates according to strategy of distal cannulation. Background Limb developing during percutaneous venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a potentially severe complication. Although appropriate use perfusion cannula can avoid ischemia, evidences about cannulation still lacking. Methods Patients who underwent peripheral VA ECMO between January 2010 August 2015 were reviewed. classified patients into 2 groups in terms...
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether administration of a vasopressor within 1 hour first fluid loading affected mortality and organ dysfunction in septic shock patients. DESIGN: Prospective, multicenter, observational study. SETTING: Sixteen tertiary or university hospitals the Republic Korea. PATIENTS: Patients with ( n = 415) were classified into early late groups according to was initiated resuscitative load. Early 149) patients 1:1 propensity matched INTERVENTIONS: None. Measurement Main...
The progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is diverse and unpredictable. We identified validated a new biomarker for IPF progression. To identify candidate gene to predict progression, we assessed differentially expressed genes in patients with advanced compared early controls three lung sample cohorts. Candidate expression was confirmed using immunohistochemistry Western blotting tissue samples from an independent clinical cohort. Biomarker potential enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
Limited data are available on the mortality rates of patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to analyze relationship between COVID-19 and clinical outcomes ECMO.
A clinical trial of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as an alternative ventilator tool is being performed a new indication for ECMO. The purpose this study was to evaluate the feasibility awake ECMO increase success rate weaning patients from and care during treatment postoperative severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).We retrospectively analyzed reports 10 who underwent due ARDS between August 2012 May 2015. We patient history, partial arterial pressure oxygen...
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is an oxygen delivery system. However, evidence regarding the clinical applications of HFNC still emerging. We herein evaluated predictors success for adult patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.We retrospectively reviewed medical records subjects failure supported by in intensive care unit between July 2011 and March 2013. Therapy was defined as avoidance intubation. The patients' baseline characteristics serial changes parameters after at...
A 22-year-old woman with a 1-month history of shortness breath that was treated as case tuberculosis and pulmonary embolism referred to the authors' hospital. Because hemodynamic instability in this patient, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) administered intensive care unit. She underwent embolectomy for treatment progressive circulatory collapse secondary embolism. The histopathologic result consistent metastatic choriocarcinoma. Despite surgical management, persistent...
Despite the advantages of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), secondary catheter infection remains a major concern during ECMO support. In this study, to clarify mechanism catheter-related infection, we evaluated impact on biofilm formation surfaces catheters, and investigated clinical factors associated with formation. Catheters used for were prospectively collected aseptically from femoral vein, internal jugular artery 81 patients acute cardiorespiratory failure between January...
Background: Successful sepsis treatment depends on early diagnosis. We aimed to develop and validate a system predict septic shock in real time using deep learning. Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively collected from electronic medical records (EMRs). Data 2010 2019 used as development data, 2020 2021 validation data. The EMRs consisted of eight vital signs, 13 laboratory points, three demographic information items. validated the deep-learning-based prediction (DeepSEPS) datasets...
This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of implementation an automated liquid culture system on diagnosis tuberculous pleurisy in HIV-uninfected patient population.We retrospectively compared yield, time positivity, and contamination rate pleural effusion samples BACTEC Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube 960 (MGIT) Ogawa media among patients with pleurisy.Out 104 samples, 43 (41.3%) were positive either MGIT or media.The yield higher (40.4%, 42/104) than that (18.3%, 19/104) (P <...
