This large study captured all admissions with influenza at multiple hospitals across Australia and New Zealand.
A high Apache II score at admission, multiple site colonization in combination with abdominal surgery should raise a high suspicion index and a prophylactic therapy should start.
A cranial MRI was performed at admission, showing multiple vascular hyperintense signals in the left hemisphere.
The main factors associated with high CrCl in these studies are young age, greater body surface area, higher diastolic blood pressure, diuresis levels, lower APACHE III scores at admission and multiple trauma [ 10, 11].
An adjusted logit model indicated that surgery on ICU admission, total parenteral nutrition, colonization at multiple sites with Candida and severe sepsis were associated with an increased risk for proven Candida infection.
Patients were grouped according to their lifetime history of hospital admissions for asthma (multiple admissions, single admission, or no admissions).
It's a simple way for colleges to streamline the admissions process, and for ambivalent teens to take a crack at multiple places simultaneously.
ICU populations are highly heterogeneous at multiple levels, including pre-illness co-morbidity, diagnosis requiring admission, early illness severity, and subsequent complications, to name a few.
Additionally, blood samples will be taken at multiple time points, and skin biopsies and swabs will be taken from selected patients on admission.
To compare resource use in nononcological patients and in hemato-oncological patients after correction for severity of organ dysfunction at ICU admission, a stepwise multiple linear regression model was applied including SAPS II and the presence or absence of hematological malignancy as predictors.
