Significance Statement Although AKI is an important sequela of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), data on treated with RRT (AKI-RRT) in patients COVID-19 are limited. In a multicenter cohort study 3099 critically ill adults admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) at 67 hospitals across the United States, one five developed AKI-RRT, 63% whom died during hospitalization. Among who survived hospital discharge, three remained dependent and six 60 days after ICU admission. The identified...
Rationale: Variation in hospital mortality has been described for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), but the factors that explain these differences remain unclear. Objective: Our objective was to use a large, nationally representative data set of critically ill adults with COVID-19 determine which variability. Methods: In this multicenter cohort study, we examined hospitalized ICUs at 70 U.S. hospitals between March and June 2020. The primary outcome 28-day mortality. We patient-level...
We present an unusual case of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (formerly known as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome) associated with inflammatory disease in a young patient. A 26-year-old male patient no significant past medical history presented to our emergency department four-week diffuse, moderate, cramping, non-radiating abdominal pain aggravating or relieving factors. Abdominal was nausea, vomiting, and bloody stools. His physical examination revealed pale conjunctiva,...
Large language models (LLMs) have achieved significant performance gains via scaling up model sizes and/or data. However, recent evidence suggests diminishing returns from such approaches, motivating the computation spent at inference time. Existing inference-time methods, usually with reward models, cast task as a search problem, which tends to be vulnerable hacking consequence of approximation errors in models. In this paper, we instead probabilistic and leverage sampling-based techniques...
The widely used Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula adapts a 1.212 multiplier for individuals who are identified as African Americans (AAs) or Blacks, which leads to higher GFR estimation. As it stands, AAs have lower prevalence chronic kidney disease (CKD) but incidence end-stage renal (ESRD) compared with Whites. Many hypotheses been postulated explain this paradox, the imprecision estimation race-adaptation could be contributory. We performed single-center, longitudinal,...
Many US states published crisis standards of care (CSC) guidelines for allocating scarce critical resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, performance these in maximizing their population benefit has not been well tested. In 2,272 adults with requiring mechanical ventilation drawn from Study Treatment and Outcomes Critically Ill Patients (STOP-COVID) multicenter cohort, we test following three approaches to CSC algorithms: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores grouped...
Abstract Accurate assessment of blood volume ( BV ) may be helpful for prescribing hemodialysis HD and reducing complications related to hypovolemia overload. Monitoring changes in relative RBV using hematocrit, e.g., Crit‐Line Monitor CLM‐III ), an indirect method, cannot used determine absolute . We report the first study measurement assessing status patients indicator dilutional method. Ten adult were enrolled this prospective observational study. was performed before after analysis BVA...
Objective To determine whether surge conditions were associated with increased mortality. Design Multicenter cohort study. Setting U.S. ICUs participating in STOP-COVID. Patients Consecutive adults COVID-19 admitted to between March 4 and July 1, 2020. Interventions None Measurements Main Results The main outcome was 28-day in-hospital assess the association admission an ICU during a period mortality, we used two different strategies: (1) inverse probability weighted...
Objective. To assess the demographic characteristics, risk factors and perinatal outcomes among maternal intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in New Jersey from 1997 to 2005.Methods. Data were obtained a linked database MCH epidemiology programme Jersey. Chi-square test was used for bivariate analysis stepwise logistic regression influence of potential pregnancy complications.Results. There 15 447 (1.54%) ICU 23 deaths (0.15%) 1 004 116 pregnancies. Analysis revealed that age, race smoking...
Ionized hypocalcemia is common in critically ill patients with COVID-19 and associated adverse outcomes. We previously developed a linear model that estimates ionized calcium (ICa) by adjusting total (TCa) for the three components of anion gap albumin. On internal validation, it outperformed popular method corrects TCa albumin alone (cTCa) diagnosing low ICa. In this study, we sought to externally validate our ICa hospitalized positive patients.We retrospectively studied all 200 who were...
Ogilvie's syndrome, also known as acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (ACPO), is a rare, nonobstructive dilation of the colon unclear etiology. We present case patient who presented with syndrome and significant hypokalemia due to loss despite repletion. This report demonstrates difficulty in diagnosis, treatment, outcome.

Octreotide, a synthetic analog of somatostatin, is widely utilized for its inhibitory effects on various hormones, including growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon. Its applications span conditions such as acromegaly, carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal bleeding due to ability reduce portal venous pressure. Additionally, it serves crucial role in nuclear medicine imaging the management hepatorenal syndrome. We report case 44-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) stage 5 chronic...
