Bone - a casualty of ICU survival?
We read with great interest the pilot study on fracture risk in 46 critically ill patients by Rawal and colleagues [1]. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed with portable calcaneal dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) on days 1 and 10. The authors found no overall change in BMD, but increased fracture risk in the subgroup with 'ARDS' (acute respiratory distress syndrome) (n = 34). There are sever...
متن کاملPredicting ICU survival: A meta-level approach
BACKGROUND The performance of separate Intensive Care Unit (ICU) status scoring systems vis-à-vis prediction of outcome is not satisfactory. Computer-based predictive modeling techniques may yield good results but their performance has seldom been extensively compared to that of other mature or emerging predictive models. The objective of the present study was twofold: to propose a prototype me...
متن کاملImpact of ICU-acquired weakness on post-ICU physical functioning: a follow-up study
INTRODUCTION ICU-acquired weakness is thought to mediate physical impairments in survivors of critical illness, but few studies have investigated this thoroughly. The purpose was to investigate differences in post-ICU mortality and physical functioning between patients with and without ICU-acquired weakness at 6 months after ICU discharge. METHOD ICU patients, mechanically ventilated ≥ 2 days...
متن کاملVariation in rates of ICU readmissions and post-ICU in-hospital mortality and their association with ICU discharge practices
BACKGROUND Variation in intensive care unit (ICU) readmissions and in-hospital mortality after ICU discharge may indicate potential for improvement and could be explained by ICU discharge practices. Our objective was threefold: (1) describe variation in rates of ICU readmissions within 48 h and post-ICU in-hospital mortality, (2) describe ICU discharge practices in Dutch hospitals, and (3) stud...
متن کاملICU readmission after cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVES The increasing cost of intensive care unit (ICU) care and limited resources lead us to evaluate predictors of ICU readmission in a large group of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) at one institution. METHODS Two thousand one hundred and seventeen consecutive patients undergoing CABG surgery between January 1999 and August 2001 were reviewed retrospectively. ...
