At each visit, participants were asked about the occurrence, therapy, and consequences of hypoglycaemia, and whether any episodes required them to seek emergency medical care or be admitted to hospital (defined as hypoglycaemia requiring medical assistance (HMA)).
We therefore undertook the present study to compare the LAL assay with the EAA, to determine the prevalence of endotoxaemia in a population of patients admitted to an ICU, to define its association with invasive infection, and to evaluate the association of endotoxaemia at ICU admission with clinical outcomes.
Studies were excluded if (a) <50% of patients were admitted to an ICU defined by authors; (b) <50% adult patients; (c) only Monte Carlo simulation or mathematical modeling data were included; (d) no clinical outcomes were reported; (e) data were published only as an abstract; or (f) different antibiotics were used in the control/intervention groups.
Before the study was started, deaths among patients admitted to the ICU were defined in relation to the type of management before death [ 19].
We conducted a retrospective study through an analysis of medical charts (from 2003 to 2006) of patients who were admitted to our hospital with defined intracranial atherothrombotic stroke.
In particular, the mean reporting level in the countries included was found to be 95%% for fatal injuries according to the 30-day rule, 70%% for serious injuries (defined as those admitted to hospital), 25 % for slight injuries (defined as those treated as outpatients), and 10%% for very slight injuries (defined as those treated outside hospitals).
Early sex surveys revealed that about half of all women who came of age in the 1920's admitted to engaging in premarital sex (defined as coitus), a figure that held steady for women in later decades.
Case-fatality ratios were calculated using reported deaths that had been admitted to the ICU and were defined as (number of fatal ICU cases from age group/total number of ICU cases within that age group)*100.
There were 170 severely head injured patients admitted to the NICU in the defined period.
The antibiotic dosing schedule for a trauma patient admitted to ICU is presently poorly defined and largely empiric.
