The phrase "acute severity" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe a situation or condition that is both intense and serious in nature.
Example: "The patient was admitted to the hospital with acute severity of symptoms, requiring immediate medical attention."
Alternatives: "intense seriousness" or "extreme severity".
We used age, sex, acute severity of illness, severe medical history, location before admission, and hospital type to adjust for confounding.
For critical care admissions, data were available on age, sex, ethnicity, acute severity of illness, severe medical history, location before admission, mechanical ventilation, length of stay, and hospital discharge location.
Admissions with severe sepsis were slightly older and had a higher level of acute severity of illness compared with all admissions to units to critical care units in the case mix programme database (mean age 60 years, median ICNARC physiology score 16) (table 3).
Simplified Acute Severity Score 2. Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment.
No demographic or disease characteristic variables, including acute severity measures, were statistically significant predictors of outcome.
Median Simplified Acute Severity Score (SAPS II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) are 65 and 12, respectively.
Intensity of acute organ dysfunction assessed through acute severity scores (SOFA, SAPS II and hence organ support requirement), cyclophosphamide and infection were associated with ICU death.
Factors associated with overall satisfaction for family members of ICU non-survivors were patient age, acute severity of illness and duration of ICU stay.
Conclusion We observed a wide variation of early EI practice across centers independent from acute severity parameters and presence of immunosuppression.
Factors associated with overall satisfaction for family members of ICU survivors were family member age, ethnicity, relationship (to patient), visit frequency and patient acute severity of illness and receipt of invasive mechanical ventilation.
In a multivariable regression, we found that toe-to-room temperature gradient remained associated with death from MOF (OR 0.7 [0.9] 0.9], P < 0.001) after adjustment on acute severity, measured by the SOFA score (OR 1.5 [1.8] 1.8], P < 0.001), and after adjustment on morbidity, as measured by the presence of malignancy (OR 4.3 [16.7]16.7], P = 0.03) (Table 4).
