Mean levels of all symptoms were above normal thresholds, but AHI was not correlated with age, ESS, PSQI, BDI, or BAI; only BMI was correlated with OSA severity.
Average pain sensitivity was above normal thresholds by +1.12 standard deviations at the affected hand, and +0.55 standard deviations at the contralateral hand.
As the subjects did this, and unbeknownst to them, a faint patch of color, of an appropriate size and shape, and just above the normal threshold of visibility, was back projected (in soft focus) onto the screen.
In our patients, lactate peak values predicted in-hospital mortality equally well as lactate-time-integral of arterial blood lactate levels above the upper normal threshold.
We hypothesized that the severity of persistent hyperlactatemia represented by the time integral of arterial blood lactate levels above the upper normal threshold of 2.2 mmol/L (lactate-time-integral) outperforms single lactate measurements in predicting outcome.
The time integral for lactate levels above the upper normal threshold of 2.2 mmol/L was calculated during the entire ICU stay (lactate-time-integral) using custom-made software.
The time integral of arterial blood lactate levels above the upper normal threshold of 2.2 mmol/L (lactate-time-integral), maximum lactate (max-lactate), and time-to-first-normalization were calculated.
The SIG (strong ion gap) value is above the upper normal threshold, but it should be remarked that such excess may be due, to a large extent, to the low amount of albumin (because the albumin value is one of the relevant parameters used to compute the effective strong ion difference and hence the SIG value).
If the thresholds are 0.21, 0.3, 0.24, 0, 0.05, 0 and 0, ordered from the Highest to the Lowest priority, than the Normal call of Patient1 from the previous example gets the Above Normal priority according to this threshold algorithm.
The data imply that DrotAA treatment decreases mortality in two ways: by raising protein C levels above 40% of the normal threshold, and by reducing the number of moderately deficient patients and normal patients who had a decrease in their baseline protein C levels ≥ 10%.
A trigger action plan for monitored attributes above normal and threshold value limits is programmed in the surface GIS management server.
