Neutrophil-to-Albumin Ratio as A Novel Predictor of Mortality in Patients with Sepsis
Background and Objective: Sepsis is a syndrome involving physiological, pathological, and biochemical abnormalities caused by infection. Very few studies have been performed to evaluate the prognostic value of the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio. The present study aimed to evaluate the neutrophil-to-albumin ratio in patients with sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Meth...
متن کاملSerial absolute lactate value < 4 versus relative 10% reduction as a predictor of mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock
Introduction Serial lactate measurements provide a valuable tool to risk-stratify patients, determine the presence of ongoing tissue hypoperfusion, and potentially evaluate efficacy of therapeutic interventions. Prior studies have shown lactate clearance to be a valuable predictor of patient outcomes, however some have defined adequate change in lactate by a decrease from baseline by 10% wherea...
متن کاملCell-free plasma DNA as a predictor of outcome in severe sepsis and septic shock.
BACKGROUND Increased concentrations of cell-free DNA have been found in plasma of septic and critically ill patients. We investigated the value of plasma DNA for the prediction of intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality and its association with the degree of organ dysfunction and disease severity in patients with severe sepsis. METHODS We studied 255 patients with severe sepsis or se...
متن کاملDiastolic dysfunction and mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock.
AIMS Systolic dysfunction in septic shock is well recognized and, paradoxically, predicts better outcome. In contrast, diastolic dysfunction is often ignored and its role in determining early mortality from sepsis has not been adequately investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS A cohort of 262 intensive care unit patients with severe sepsis or septic shock underwent two echocardiography examinations...
متن کاملRelative adrenal insufficiency as a predictor of disease severity and mortality in severe septic shock
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if cortisol responses to 250 µg of intravenously administered adrenocorticotropic hormone are related to disease severity and, hence, mortality. METHODS This is a retrospective study in a medical-surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. We studied 69 consecutive patients with septic shock over a 1-yr period; these patients underwent a short 250-µg adrenocor...
