One-time assessment of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) shock classification robustly predicts mortality in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). We sought to dete...
Unique admissions to a single academic level 1 CICU from 2015 to 2018 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Electronic health record data were used to assign the SCAI shock stage during 4-...
Dynamic assessment of shock using serial SCAI shock classification assignment can improve mortality risk stratification in CICU patients by quantifying the magnitude and duration of shock....
The identification of patients at greater mortality risk of death at admission into an intensive cardiovascular care unit (ICCU) has relevant consequences for clinical decision-making. We described pa...
A total of 202 consecutive patients (130 men, 75 ± 12 years) were admitted into our tertiary-care ICCU in a 20-week period. We evaluated, on the first 24 h data, in-hospital mortality risk according t...
Predicted mortality was significantly lower than observed (5% during ICCU and 7% at discharge) for APACHE II and SAPS 3 (17% for both scores). Mortality risk was associated with older age, more freque...
In a recent contemporary cohort of patients admitted into the ICCU for a variety of acute and critical cardiovascular conditions, scoring systems used in general ICU had good discrimination for patien...
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a critical emergency condition that affects all aspects of health. Patients with MI need specialized care in the Coronary care unit (CCU). The main goal of care is to ens...
A qualitative approach was adopted, and semi-structured interviews and notes were used for collecting data between 2020 and mid-2021. The participants were 27 MI patients in our country who had been h...
The results of this research were revealed in the form of a "support network" theme comprising five categories: "Physical support", "Mental occupations", "Presence of peers", "relatives support "and "...
The study results showed that MI patients, in critical condition, receiving care, and hospitalized in the CCU require continuity in their support network to ensure comfort. The inconsistency between t...
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management, and complication rate of patients with CS admitted to a high-volu...
Beatriz Nistal-Nuño designed a machine learning system type of ensemble learning for patients undergoing cardiac surgery and intensive care unit cardiology patients, based on sequences of cardiovascul...
■ Gradient Boosting Machine and Random Forest models were built for prediction of mortality at cardiac intensive care units....
■ A total of 9,761 intensive care unit stays of patients admitted under a Cardiac Surgery and Cardiac Medical services were studied....
■ The AUROC and AUPRC values were significantly superior to seven conventional systems compared....
■ The machine learning models' calibration curves were substantially closer to the ideal line....
Logistic Regression has been used traditionally for the development of most predictor tools of intensive care unit mortality. The purpose of this study is to combine shared risk factors between patien...
Gradient Boosting Machine and Distributed Random Forest models were developed based on 9,761 intensive care unit-stays from the MIMIC-III database. Sequential and static features were collected. The p...
Machine learning models' AUROC and AUPRC were significantly superior to all conventional systems for the primary endpoint (p<0.05), with AUROC of 0.9413 for Gradient Boosting Machine and 0.9311 for Di...
The machine learning models showed superiority over the traditional scoring systems compared, with Gradient Boosting Machine having the best performance. Discrimination and calibration were excellent ...
Suspected or confirmed antibiotic allergy is a frequently encountered clinical circumstance that influences antimicrobial prescribing and often leads to the avoidable use of less efficacious and/or mo...
Suspected or confirmed antibiotic allergy is a frequent clinical circumstance that influences antimicrobial prescription and often leads to the avoidable use of less efficacious and/or more toxic or c...
Driven by evolving patient demographics and disease burdens over the past several decades, the demands placed on the cardiac intensive care unit have steadily increased. Originally born out of the nee...
recent worldwide data has shown a concerning decline in the number of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) related admissions and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures during the coronavirus di...
a retrospective descriptive study was conducted to evaluate and compare all ACS-related admissions to the cardiac care unit (CCU) at CHBAH in the pre-COVID-19 (November 2019 to March 2020) and during ...
the study comprised 182 patients with a mean age of 57.9 ±10.9 years (22.5% females). Of these, 108 (59.32%) patients were admitted in the pre-COVID-19 period and 74 (40.66%) during COVID-19 (p=0.0109...
there was a difference in overall ACS admissions to the CCU between pre-and during COVID-19 periods, however no difference between STEMI and NSTEMI in both periods. A higher number of UA admissions wa...
Background Over the previous decade, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has risen in the Middle East and will increase mortality to 23 million individuals in Saudi Arabia by 2030, accordi...
