There is a need to better define the epidemiology of sepsis in intensive care units (ICUs) around globe.The Intensive Care over Nations (ICON) audit prospectively collected data on all adult (>16 years) patients admitted ICU between May 8 and 18, 2012, except those for less than 24 hours routine postoperative surveillance. Data were daily maximum 28 days ICU, followed up outcome until death, hospital discharge, or 60 days. Participation was entirely voluntary.The included 10069 from Europe...
To describe overall site-specific hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates and to the microbiological antibiotic resistance profiles of infecting pathogens, together with their impact on multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-associated mortality.We conducted a 5-year retrospective descriptive study HAI in patients intensive care unit (ICU) cancer center Mexico from January 2007 December 2011. The following information was collected: patient characteristics comorbidities, data related neoplasm...
The awake prone positioning strategy for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome is a safe, simple and cost-effective technique used to improve hypoxaemia. We aimed evaluate intubation mortality risk in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who underwent during hospitalisation.In this retrospective, multicentre observational study conducted between 1 May 2020 12 June 27 hospitals Mexico Ecuador, nonintubated COVID-19 managed or supine were included through logistic regression models;...
Abstract Background The study aimed to describe the epidemiology and outcomes of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HABSIs) between COVID-19 non-COVID-19 critically ill patients. Methods We used data from Eurobact II study, a prospective observational multicontinental cohort on HABSI treated in ICU. For current analysis, we selected centers that included both performed descriptive statistics terms patients’ characteristics, source infection microorganism distribution. studied...
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence hypoalbuminemia in critically ill patients with cancer and describe relationship serum albumin levels mortality.An observational cohort study. There were no interventions.During period, 200 eligible for inclusion. A total 164 (82%) had a concentration below 35 g/L, which 91 (55.5%) ≤20 g/L. mean 18.17 crude mortality rate 22.5%. highest (73%) seen group whose <20 g/L.The admitted ICU high.
Cancer patients have a higher risk of severe sepsis in comparison with non-cancer patients, an increased for hospital-acquired infections (HAI), particularly multidrug resistant bacteria (MDRB). The aim the study is to describe frequency and characteristics HAI MDRB critically ill cancer patients. We conducted 18-month prospective admitted ≥48 h ICU at referral center Mexico. Patients hematological malignancies (HM) were compared solid tumors. Demographic clinical data recorded. Mortality...
Gastric cancer is an aggressive disease with nonspecific early symptoms. Its incidence and prognosis in young patients has shown considerable variability.Our objective was to retrospectively study from our institution aged <30 years gastric carcinoma. The undertaken describe the experience of this population, demonstrate its specific clinical pathological characteristics.We reviewed cases histologically confirmed between 1985 2006 at Instituto Nacional de Cancerología Mexico (INCan);...
The objectives of this study were to identify risk factors associated with mortality in patients systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) admitted the intensive care unit (ICU) and evaluate usefulness Acute Physiologic Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score predict outcomes these patients, through use a retrospective patient record review from multidisciplinary teaching hospital. One hundred four SLE ICU included study. mean age was 32.44 years, 96.2% female 61.5% infection. APACHE 19.7,...
The aim of the current study was to describe utility Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score in assessing severity organ dysfunction patients with cancer before admission intensive care unit. This a prospective cohort performed from January October 2007. recorded Two hundred were included. having survived unit stay 3.44 +/- 3.56 and no survivor's 9.35 3.45. There 89.5% who had 2 or more dysfunctions. area under receiver operating characteristic curve for 0.87. mortality 27.5%. predictive...
The 2009-2010 influenza A (H1N1pdm09) pandemic caused substantial morbidity and mortality among young patients; however, estimates have been confounded by regional differences in eligibility criteria inclusion of selected populations. In 2013-2014, H1N1pdm09 became North America's dominant seasonal strain. Our objective was to compare the baseline characteristics, resources, treatments with outcomes critically ill patients Mexican Canadian hospitals 2014 using consistent...
The mortality and prognostic factors for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with solid tumours are unclear aim of this study was describe demographic, clinical survival data identify associated in critically ill tumours. A prospective observational cohort 177 a medical-surgical oncological ICU undertaken. There were no interventions. Among admissions, 66% surgical, 79.7% required mechanical ventilation during their stay 31.6% presented severe sepsis or septic shock. In...
The purpose of the present study was to explore usefulness Mexican sequential organ failure assessment (MEXSOFA) score for assessing risk mortality critically ill patients in ICU. A total 232 consecutive admitted an ICU were included study. MEXSOFA calculated using original SOFA scoring system with two modifications: PaO2/FiO2 ratio replaced SpO2/FiO2 ratio, and evaluation neurologic dysfunction excluded. rate 20.2%. Patients initial 9 points or less during first 24 h after admission had a...
Objective . The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence delirium and its risk factors among critically ill cancer patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). Materials Methods This is a prospective cohort study. Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) measured daily at morning diagnose by physician. Delirium diagnosed when positive during patient’s ICU stay. All were followed until they discharged from ICU. Using logistic regression, we estimated potential...
To evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill cancer patients with septic shock.Prospective, observational cohort study.Medical-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) at Instituto Nacional de Cancerología located in Mexico City from January 2008 to February 2010. There were no interventions. Eighty-two consecutive shock aged over 18 years prospectively included evaluated.During study period, 620 admitted ICU.
