Organ dysfunction (OD) after lung transplantation can reflect preoperative organ failure, intraoperative acute organ damage and post-operative complications. We assessed two OD scoring systems, both t...
Medical records of recipients from January 2009 to March 2016 were reviewed. PELOD and pSOFA scores were calculated on post-transplant days 1-3. Risk factors assessed included cystic fibrosis (CF), pr...
Total 98 patients were enrolled aged 0-20 years. Risk factors for higher pSOFA scores ≥ 5 on day 1 included non-CF diagnosis and worst PGD scores (p = .0006 and p = .03, respectively). Kruskal Wallis ...
Implementing pSOFA scores bedside is a more effective tool compared to PELOD in identifying risk factors for worsened OD post-lung transplant and can be valuable in providing direction on morbidity ou...
We aimed to validate the performance of six available scoring models for predicting hospital mortality in children with suspected or confirmed infections....
This single-center retrospective cohort study included pediatric patients admitted to the PICU for infection. The primary outcome was hospital mortality. The six scores included the age-adapted pSOFA ...
Of the 5,356 children admitted to the PICU, 9.1% (488) died, and 25.1% (1,342) had basic disease with a mortality rate of 12.7% (171); 65.3% (3,499) of the patients were younger than 2 years, and 59.4...
The pSOFA and PELOD2 scores had superior predictive performance for mortality. Given the relative unavailability of items and clinical operability, the pSOFA score should be recommended as an optimal ...
The cardiovascular component of the sequential organ failure assessment (cvSOFA) score may be outdated because of changes in intensive care. Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS) represents the weighted su...
We studied the association of VIS during the first 24 h after ICU admission with 30-day mortality in a retrospective study on adult medical and non-cardiac emergency surgical patients admitted to Kuop...
Of 8079 patients, 1107 (13%) died within 30 days. Mortality increased with increasing VIS...
Mortality increased consistently with increasing VIS...
Here, we assess the effect of adjuvant antioxidant therapies in septic shock patients with organ dysfunction and their effect on the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems....
Randomized clinical trial run between 2018 and 2022. One hundred and thirty-one patients with septic shock were included in five groups with 25, 27, 24, 26 and 29 patients each. Group 1 received vitam...
All patients had multiple organ failure (MOF) and low Vit C levels. Vit C therapy decreased CRP, PCT and NO...
Antioxidants used as an adjuvant therapy in the standard treatment of septic shock decrease MOF and oxidative stress markers. They increase the TAC and thiols, and maintain selenium levels....
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a commonly used xenobiotic in hair dying, causing deleterious outcomes in acute poisoning. Although many epidemiological studies and case reports explained their clinical...
The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was developed more than 25 years ago to provide a simple method of assessing and monitoring organ dysfunction in critically ill patients. Changes i...
Soluble thrombomodulin is a marker of endotheliopathy, and iloprost may improve endothelial function. In patients with septic shock, high plasma levels of soluble thrombomodulin (>10 ng/mL) have been ...
To assess the effects of treatment with iloprost vs placebo on the severity of organ failure in patients with septic shock and plasma levels of soluble thrombomodulin higher than 10 ng/mL....
This investigator-initiated, adaptive, parallel group, stratified, double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted between November 1, 2019, and July 5, 2022, at 6 hospitals in Denmark. The trial...
Patients were randomized 1:1 to masked intravenous infusion of iloprost, 1 ng/kg/min (n = 142), or placebo (n = 137) for 72 hours....
The primary outcome was mean daily Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in the ICU adjusted for trial site and baseline SOFA score for the per-protocol population. SOFA scores for each of ...
Of 279 randomized patients, data from 278 were analyzed (median [IQR] age, 69 [58-77] years; 171 (62%) male), 142 in the iloprost group and 136 in the placebo group. The trial was stopped for futility...
In this randomized clinical trial of adults in the ICU with septic shock and severe endotheliopathy, infusion of iloprost, 1 ng/kg/min, for 72 hours did not reduce mean daily SOFA scores compared with...
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04123444....
Organ dysfunction severity scores (sequential organ failure assessment or SOFA) are commonly used in the adult and pediatric populations when assessing risk of mortality and adverse outcomes from seps...
Although SOFA scores in the adult and pediatric populations have their limitations with moderate sensitivities and specificities depending on the clinical setting, the nSOFA score has been validated i...
Utilizing an nSOFA scoring system for prediction of sepsis attributable mortality in preterm infants allows for targeted interventions based on risk stratification, as well as better delineation of ne...
The aim of this study was to determine the ability of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score (SOFA) and modified SOFA score (mSOFA) as predictive tools for 2-day and 28-day mortality and ICU ad...
An observational, prospective cohort study in adults with acute neurological disease transferred by ambulance to an ED was conducted from 1 January 2019 to 31 August 2022 in five hospitals in Castilla...
A total of 640 adult patients with neurological disease were included. For the prediction of 2-day mortality (all-cause), mSOFA presented a higher AUC than SOFA (mSOFA = 0.925 vs. SOFA = 0.902). This ...
Both mSOFA and SOFA presented similar predictive ability, with mSOFA being the best predictor for short-term mortality and SOFA being the best predictor for medium-term mortality, as well as for ICU a...
The impact of intestinal injury in cardiac arrest is not established. The first aim of this study was to assess associations between clinical characteristics in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) a...
We measured plasma IFABP in 50 patients at admission to intensive care unit (ICU) after OHCA. Demographic and clinical variables were analysed by stratifying patients on median IFABP, and by linear re...
Several markers of whole body ischaemia correlated with intestinal injury. Duration of arrest and lactate serum concentrations contributed to elevated IFABP in a multivariable model (p < 0.01 and p = ...
Cardiac arrest duration and lactate serum concentrations were risk factors for intestinal injury. High levels of IFABP at admission were associated with multiple organ dysfunction and mortality....
