Example: "The committee's task is to clarify the admissions to define the criteria for acceptance."
Alternatives: "criteria for admissions" or "definitions of admissions".
Renal function recovery at 1 year was calculated using the following formula: [ estimated glomerular filtration Rate (e GFR) at 1 year minus baseline e GFR)/baseline e GFR], where e GFR was determined using the simplified modification of diet in renal disease equation using creatinine values within the 3 months prior to ICU admission to define baseline.
Second but more importantly, we used a single random blood glucose measurement on admission to define hyperglycemia.
They use Harris-Benedict equations multiplied by 1.3 at admission to define a calorie target, and after 3 to 5 days, they are able to measure energy expenditure.
This recall period did not have the salient event of the rehabilitation admission to define the start of the recall period.
We used the date of death and the date of discharge from the index admission to define the length of survival.
In the previous issue of Critical Care, Wong and colleagues [ 1] leveraged the variability in genome-wide transcriptional profiles in whole-blood leukocytes of pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) patients at admission to define differentially expressed genes between non-infectious critical illness (n = 21, negative bacterial culture) and sepsis (n = 60, positive bacterial culture).
Coding at discharge is a distinct advantage in that the use of admission diagnosis to define an admission as CHD-associated is problematic since patients often have diagnoses that change during admission as a result of additional clinical consideration and investigation.
12 We used the variable for method of admission ('admimeth') to define an emergency admission.
The objective of this study was to describe the occurrence and factors predictive of prolonged ICU stay at admission, and to define the long-term (≥ 1 year) mortality outcome.
First, we were unable to identify patients carrying ESBL-producing E. coli at admission and to define the specific colonization rate in each hospital.
