Abstract Background Thiamine is a precursor of the essential coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate required for glucose metabolism; it improves immune system function and has shown to reduce risk several diseases. The role in critically ill septic patient been addressed multiple studies; however, it’s COVID-19 patients still unclear. aim this study was evaluate use as an adjunctive therapy on mortality patients. Methods This two-center, non-interventional, retrospective cohort admitted intensive...
Zinc is a trace element that plays role in stimulating innate and acquired immunity. The of zinc critically ill patients with COVID-19 remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy safety sulfate as adjunctive therapy COVID-19.Patients aged ≥ 18 years who were admitted intensive care unit (ICU) two tertiary hospitals Saudi Arabia retrospectively assessed for use from March 1, 2020 until 31, 2021. After propensity score matching (1:1 ratio) based on selected criteria, we...
Abstract The use of tocilizumab for the management COVID-19 emerged since it modulates inflammatory markers by blocking interleukin 6 receptors. Concerns regarding higher thrombosis risk while using were raised in literature. aim this study is to investigate association between therapy and development thromboembolic events critically ill patients. A propensity score-matched, multicenter cohort adult patients with COVID-19. Eligible admitted ICU March 2020 July 2021 categorized into two...
Background Sepsis remains a major cause of death, with high mortality and morbidity rates in children. The may be associated several factors, including differences cultures the type organism. This study was aimed at evaluating characteristics outcomes negative bacterial blood culture compared to those positive children severe sepsis/septic shock. Methods A retrospective cohort conducted pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) tertiary medical center. All patients, from newborn 14 years age,...
Background The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing nationally, emphasizing the importance early detection. Late-stage diagnosis, particularly with peritoneal metastasis (PM), associated poor outcomes despite advancements in treatment. PM poses a challenge owing to lack standardized treatment, although cytoreductive surgery (CRS) hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) shows promise improving survival rates. This study aimed document and risk factors for patients...
Limited evidence is available regarding the safety and effectiveness of early high protein intake in critically ill patients with COVID-19. Therefore, this study aims to assess advancement during nutritional support these patients. A multi-center retrospective cohort included adult COVID-19 admitted Intensive Care Units (ICUs) at three centers Saudi Arabia. Patients were grouped into two groups based on day feeding initiation low (≤0.8 mg/kg/day) versus (>0.8 groups. Acute kidney injury...
The integration of machine learning (ML) in automated post-surgical monitoring represents a pivotal advancement healthcare, aiming to enhance patient outcomes by enabling early detection complications. This research critically examines the efficacy various ML algorithms predicting post-operative complications through real-time analysis preoperative and intraoperative data. Utilizing multimodal approaches, including wearable sensors biometric data, study highlights potential for improving...
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) is a prominent B-cell neoplasm, that impacts global and Saudi populations. Given limited large-scale studies focusing on HL in Arabia, this retrospective multicenter cohort study reviewed the characteristics clinical outcomes of patients with cHL Arabia. All adult aged 18 years older newly diagnosed at three local tertiary care hospitals were included between January 2016 December 2021. The primary outcome was to identify patient's features such as...
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that non-critically ill COVID-19 patients co-infected with other respiratory viruses poor clinical outcomes. However, limited focused on this co-infections in critically patients. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of infected and by viruses.
