<h3>Importance</h3> The effects of intensive care unit (ICU) visiting hours remain uncertain. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether a flexible family visitation policy in the ICU reduces incidence delirium. <h3>Design, Setting and Participants</h3> Cluster-crossover randomized clinical trial involving patients, members, clinicians from 36 adult ICUs with restricted (<4.5 per day) Brazil. Participants were recruited April 2017 to June 2018, follow-up until July 2018....
To identify the frequency, causes, and risk factors of early late mortality among general adult patients discharged from ICUs.Multicenter, prospective cohort study.ICUs 10 tertiary hospitals in Brazil.One-thousand five-hundred fifty-four ICU survivors with an stay greater than 72 hours for medical emergency surgical admissions or 120 elective admissions.None.The main outcomes were (30 d) (31 to 365 mortality. Causes death extracted certificates records. Twelve-month cumulative was 28.2% (439...
Introduction Flexible intensive care unit (ICU) visiting hours have been proposed as a means to improve patient-centred and family-centred care. However, randomised trials evaluating the effects of flexible family visitation models (FFVMs) are scarce. This study aims compare effectiveness safety an FFVM versus restrictive model (RFVM) on delirium prevention among ICU patients, well analyse its potential members professionals. Methods analysis A cluster-randomised crossover trial involving...
Abstract BACKGROUND Nodules of the thyroid gland are observed frequently in patients who undergo ultrasound studies. The majority these nodules benign, corresponding to goiters or adenomas, and only a small fraction corresponds carcinomas. Among tumors, diagnosis follicular adenocarcinomas by preoperative fine‐needle aspiration biopsy is major challenge, because it requires inspection entire capsule differentiate from adenoma. Consequently, large numbers unnecessary thyroidectomy. METHODS...
To mitigate mortality among critically ill COVID-19 patients, both during their Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay and following ICU discharge, it is crucial to measure its frequency, identify predictors establish an appropriate post-ICU follow-up strategy.In this multicentre, prospective cohort study, we included 586 patients.We observed overall of 20.1% [95%CI: 17.1% 23.6%] (118/586) hospital 25.4% 22.1% 29.1%] (149/586). For survivors, 30 days (early) was 5.3% 3.6% 7.8%] (25/468) one-year...
We assessed long-term outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors with acute kidney injury (AKI) submitted to intermittent or continuous renal replacement therapy (RRT) for comparisons between groups.
To assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in municipal employees Northern Portugal during first pandemic wave (May-June 2020) and its association with potentially related risk factors for infection.The authors assessed 2 cities Portugal, whom serological tests to an epidemiological survey were applied. The proportion individuals presenting IgM and/or IgG SARS-CoV-2, evaluated between having positive test results, epidemiologic variables clinical presentations. Reported symptoms...
<b>Introduction:</b> COVID-19 remains a concern. Most people are vaccinated, and effective therapeutic interventions for earlier disease stages available. Epidemiological data were mostly collected during the pre-Omicron time; thus, an update on risk factors severe is needed. <b>Objectives:</b> To identify current among patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection unplanned admission to Intensive Care. <b>Methods:</b> Retrospective chart review of all admitted 11 Portuguese ICUs PCR-proven (February...
INTRODUCTION: Drug abuse is a social and public health problem because of its negative consequences emotional physical development in individuals. There are few studies evaluating substance by individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD). These patients have severe recurrent pain crises (1), frequently needing opioids to control it (2). The compromised quality life can predispose this population the occurrence non-psychotic disorders such as depression, making them vulnerable (3). METHODS: We...
