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%)....
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...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogeneous condition with broad spectrum of severity, pathophysiological processes and variable outcomes. For moderate-to-severe TBI survivors, recovery often protracted outcomes can range from total dependence to full recovery. Despite advances in medical treatment options, prognosis remains largely unchanged. The objective this study develop machine learning predictive model for neurological at 6 months patients TBI, incorporating longitudinal clinical,...
Abstract Aims To describe the effect of alcohol policy on incidence intensive care unit (ICU) admissions associated with hazardous and harmful use in Northern Territory (NT) Australia Design, setting participants Before after analysis to NT ICUs between April 2018 September 2019, extending both a descriptive study describing single‐centre analyses harm minimization policies. After exclusions, 2281 (83%) were analysed, 20.3% which use. Measurements Primary outcome was 5 months preceding...
Objective The Northern Territory has the highest incidence of haemodialysis care for end-stage kidney disease in Australia. Although acute injury (AKI) is a recognised risk chronic (CKD), effect AKI causing incident (iHD) unknown. Audits identifying antecedents iHD may inform health service planning. Thus, aims this study were to describe: (1) development an recording system involving patients with and CKD; (2) incidence, patient characteristics mortality dialysis-requiring AKI. Methods A...
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...
To identify the best population, design of intervention, and to assess between-group biochemical separation, in preparation for a future phase III trial.Investigator-initiated, parallel-group, pilot randomized double-blind trial.Eight ICUs Australia, New Zealand, Japan, with participants recruited from April 2021 August 2022.Thirty patients greater than or equal 18 years, within 48 hours admission ICU, receiving vasopressor, metabolic acidosis (pH < 7.30, base excess [BE] -4 mEq/L, Pa co2 45...
Objective: Lack of management guidelines for life-threatening asthma (LTA) risks practice variation. This study aims to elucidate practices LTA in the intensive care unit (ICU). Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Thirteen participating ICUs Australia between July 2010 and June 2013. Participants: Patients with principal diagnosis LTA. Main outcome measures: Clinical history, ICU management, patient outcomes, ward education discharge plans. Results: Of 270 (267 patients)...
To investigate the use, understanding, trust and influence of internet other sources health information used by next kin (NOK) patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU).Multicentre structured survey.The ICUs 13 public private Australian hospitals.NOK who self-identified as primary surrogate decision maker for a patient ICU.The frequency, online information, quality websites visited using Health on Net Foundation Code Conduct (HONcode) medical websites.There were 473 survey responses....
Red cell (RC) alloantibodies occur on exposure to non-self RC antigens in transfusion and pregnancy (typically IgG clinically significant) or association with non-RC immune environmental factors IgM not significant). In Australia, the risk of alloimmunisation First Nations peoples is unknown. We assessed epidemiology, specificity, antecedents via a data linkage retrospective cohort study Northern Territory (NT) intensive care unit (ICU) patients (2015–2019). Of 4183 total patients, 50.9%...
The Northern Territory (NT) has a long history of heavy alcohol consumption with correspondingly high attributable morbidity and mortality.To describe the number admissions to intensive care associated misuse.This is prospective case-control study including all NT units (ICU) between 1 July 2018 30 June 2019. Characteristics outcomes patients who had an admission misuse (a composite measure acute and/or chronic misuse) were compared those did not. Primary outcome was misuse. Secondary...
Current mass production techniques prioritize efficiency over fit. Production chooses to grade sizes from a selection of fit models rather than use the customer’s body develop patterns, limitation that leads insufficient (Krzywinski & Siegmund, 2017). Customer dissatisfaction with garment was exacerbated Covid-19 pandemic, as online shopping became normalized and reduced ability try on garments in-store (Bae 2022). The advent 3D scans CAD software enables exploration question - can we...
<title>Abstract</title> Background The aim of this study was to develop a consensus-based set indicators high-quality acute moderate severe TBI (msTBI) clinical management that can be used measure structure, process and outcome factors are likely influence patient outcomes. This is the first stage PRECISION-TBI program which prospective cohort aims identify promote optimal msTBI in Australia. Methods A preliminary 45 quality developed based on available evidence. An advisory committee...
Prospective memory (PM) impairment is a common consequence of moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Compensatory strategy training and rehabilitation (COMP) the usual treatment PM deficits through environmental modification use assistive methods such as diaries routines. The study intends to examine changes in white matter integrity, measured by advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) following COMP intervention TBI patients. Nine twelve routine care comparison cohort...
