Should C-reactive protein concentration at ICU discharge be used as a prognostic marker?
BACKGROUND About one third of hospital mortality in critically ill patients occurs after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge. Some authors have recently hypothesized that unresolved or latent inflammation and sepsis may be an important factor that contributes to death following successful discharge from the ICU. AIM The aim of our study was to determine the ability of the clinical and inflamm...
متن کاملC-reactive protein as a prognostic marker in lymphocytic myocarditis.
The prognosis of patients with lymphocytic myocarditis (LM) is poor with the combined endpoint of death or transplant in the Myocarditis Treatment trial being 56% at 5 years. Physicians often have difficulty determining the prognosis in an individual patient. Patients with LM may have ongoing myocardial inflammation. We evaluated the ability of a serum marker of inflammation to predict prognosi...
متن کاملCorrection: C-reactive protein/albumin ratio at ICU discharge as a predictor of post-ICU death: a new useful tool
Introduction Noninvasive ventilation is a safe and eff ective method to treat acute respiratory failure, minimizing the respiratory workload and oxygenation. Few studies compare the effi cacy of diff erent types of noninvasive ventilation interfaces and their adaptation. Objective To identify the most frequently noninvasive ventilation interfaces used and eventual problems related to their adap...
متن کاملElevated C-reactive protein levels at ICU discharge as a predictor of ICU outcome: a retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Before discharging a patient from the ICU, an adequate patient evaluation is needed to detect individuals as high risk for unfavorable outcome. A pro- or anti-inflammatory status is a potential risk factor for an adverse outcome, and elevated CRP concentrations have shown to correlate with organ failure. Several studies have been performed to evaluate the use of CRP as a marker of po...
متن کاملShould C-Reactive Protein Be a Target of Therapy?
Multiple studies have demonstrated that elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Newer CV risk stratification strategies incorporating hs-CRP (e.g., Reynolds Risk Score) have also been shown to improve risk stratification better than algorithms incorporating only traditional risk factors. There is also evidence from ...
