Introduction: The gut plays a major role in critical illness. Gastrointestinal problems occur frequently and are associated with an adverse outcome in critically ill patients despite that, gastrointestinal (GI) function is not included in any of the widely used scoring systems assessing organ failures in critical illness.

Organ dysfunction is an evolving state: its expression and conditio...
متن کاملThe relationship between nocturnal hypoxia and sofa score on critically ill patients at the icu
Introduction Apnea test (AT) (ApneaLinkTM, RESMED-Munich, Germany) can be used for different clinical conditions to calculate apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and nocturnal hypoxia (NH) at intensive care unit (ICU) [1]. It’s shown that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and NH is associated post-operative complications, longer length of hospital stay, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension ...
متن کاملAccuracy of SOFA score in prediction of 30-day outcome of critically ill patients
OBJECTIVES Researchers have attempted to design various scoring systems to determine the severity and predict the outcome of critically ill patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of SOFA score in predicting 1-month outcome of these patients in emergency department. METHODS The present study is a prospective cross-sectional study of >18 year old non-trauma critically ill pa...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Failure score in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study
INTRODUCTION There are no universally accepted diagnostic criteria for gastrointestinal failure in critically ill patients. In the present study we tested whether the occurrence of food intolerance (FI) and intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH), combined in a 5-grade scoring system for assessment of gastrointestinal function (the Gastrointestinal Failure [GIF] score), predicts mortality. The progn...
