Analyzing the record on these solid criteria, Kessler and McClellan reach a second, clear conclusion: None of the liability reforms studied "led to any consequential differences in mortality or the occurrence of serious complications".
Peripheral and generalized oedema is not only of cosmetic concern, as believed by some [13], but harmful to the patient as a whole as it can cause organ oedema and dysfunction [1, 14]. Figure 2 details all the potential harmful consequences of fluid overload on different end-organ systems, with consequential effects on patient morbidity and mortality.
Yet others seem like nothing more than opportunistic displays of superior wit through snide remarks on his mortality and on the least consequential parts of his life, real or hallucinated.
We did not assess other potential consequential effects of AKI and the studied outcomes (mortality and LOS) may not necessarily capture all relevant consequences of AKI.
Sexual coercion is associated with sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies with consequential unsafe abortions and increased maternal morbidity and mortality.
Conclusion The mortality rate of AIHA patients in ICU is consequential.
The culture and infrastructure of such models is still rapidly evolving, but there is accumulating evidence that ICU telemedicine may be associated with decreases in mortality and hospital length of stay, as well as improved adherence to consequential best practices and lower rates of preventable complications [ 32].
When Berger and Kichak [ 3] analyzed studies by Bates et al. [ 4, 5] and focused on consequential errors, they found "the reality is that no significant decrease in patient morbidity and mortality occurred as a result of the institution of CPOE" [ 3].
It was also recently shown that increasing blood oestrogen levels during ongoing intensive care are associated with mortality in both sexes, but it is unknown whether this association is causative or consequential [ 15].
It is the unexamined flipside of our misplaced piety about assisted suicide, and it gives rise to one of the more surreal and irrational equations of modern mortality: we refuse the dying dominion over their own bodies when the decision is still consequential, only to return them full authority when the matter is indisputably and irreversibly beyond their concern.
