Up-to-date identification of local trends in sepsis incidence and outcomes is considerable public health importance. The aim our study was to estimate annual rates in-hospital mortality for hospitalized patients with a European setting, while avoiding selection bias relation different complexity hospitals. A large retrospective analysis 5-year period (2008–2012) conducted hospital discharge records obtained from the Catalan Health System (CatSalut) Minimum Basic Data Set Acute-Care Hospitals...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Despite wide use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in several clinical settings, the beneficial effects NIV patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to influenza infection remain controversial. The aim this study was identify profile risk factors for using chi-square automatic interaction detection (CHAID) analysis and determine whether is associated ICU mortality. <h3>METHODS:</h3> This work a secondary from prospective observational multi-center...
There is limited information about the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on muscular dysfunction, despite generalized weakness and fatigue that patients report after overcoming acute phase infection. This study aimed to detect impaired muscle efficiency by evaluating delta (DE) in with COVID-19 compared subjects chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), ischaemic heart (IHD), control group (CG).A total 60 participants were assigned four experimental groups: COVID-19, COPD, IHD, CG (n = 15...
High intracellular water (ICW) content has been associated with better functional performance and a lower frailty risk in elderly people. However, it is not clear if the protective effect of high ICW due to greater muscle mass or quality cell hydration. We aimed assess relationship between lean (LM) strength, performance, frailty, other clinical characteristics In an observational cross-sectional study community-dwelling subjects aged ≥75 years, LM were estimated by bioelectrical impedance,...
The incidence of sepsis can be estimated between 250 and 500 cases/100.000 people per year is responsible for up to 6% total hospital admissions. Identified as one the most relevant global health problems, condition that generates highest costs in healthcare system. Important changes management septic patients have been included recent years; however, there no information about how sepsis-associated organ failure contributed reduce mortality.A retrospective analysis was conducted from...
There is evidence of a relationship between severity infection and inflammatory response the immune system. The objective to assess serum levels immunoglobulins establish its with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) clinical outcome.This was an observational cross-sectional study in which 3 groups patients diagnosed CAP were compared: treated outpatient setting (n=54), requiring in-patient care (hospital ward) (n=173), admission intensive unit (ICU) (n=191).Serum total IgG (and subclasses...
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent cause of death worldwide. As recently described, CAP shows different biological endotypes. Improving characterization these endotypes needed to optimize individualized treatment this disease. The potential value the leukogram assist prognosis in severe has not been previously addressed.A cohort 710 patients with admitted intensive care units (ICUs) at Hospital Mataró and Parc Taulí Sabadell was retrospectively analyzed. Patients were split...
Disinfectable needle-free closed connectors were designed to avoid needle-stick injuries and be easily disinfected before handling. Workloads or lack of knowledge, however, could impede the correct handling these devices, allowing endoluminal catheter colonization. The aim our study was assess barrier effect different disinfectable during incorrect using an experimental model.We used a model consisting blood culture bottle with peripheral venous inserted under sterile conditions. Three valve...
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),...
Adequate medical nutrition therapy for critically ill patients has an impact on their prognoses. However, it requires individualized approach that takes into account the activity (phases of metabolic stress) and particularity these patients. We propose a comprehensive strategy considering patients' nutritional status set modifiable circumstances in patients, order to optimize/support efficiency: (1) A detailed anamnesis adequate initial assessment must be performed implement is line with...
