Comparing the Scores of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and a Proposed Bedside Tool in Patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Admitted to ICU
Background and purpose: Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) is used to assess the severity of the disease and mortality rate in patients admitted to ICU. SOFA requires experiments that are impractical in centers with limited resources. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of bedside SOFA (b SOFA) and SOFA scores in mortality of ICU patients. Materials and methods: ...

متن کاملThe spectrum of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose: clinical and epidemiological studies.
In a regional survey of paracetamol overdose, 201 patients were admitted to hospital over 12 months. Chronic alcoholism was present in 10% of cases. Over 25% of patients were females aged 20 years or less. Initial blood paracetamol levels were in the toxic range in 16% and histologically severe liver damage eventually found in 20% of those biopsied. This finding corresponded to a serum aspartat...
