Response to azithromycin, and response to moxifloxacin (400 mg daily for 10 days) in individuals with persistent infection post-azithromycin, was determined.
Also, the addition of the LTRA montelukast improves clinical endpoints, with a 56% increase in asthma-free days, for patients with persistent disease who were receiving ICS [ 56].
Those cases where a specific diagnosis is most helpful are those dogs with persistent diarrhea, which is described as lasting more than four to five days.
In a large epidemiological study (more than 3,000 AKI patients), Uchino and colleagues found that, compared with no AKI, the odds of dying in hospital increased by a factor of two in patients with transient (<3 days) AKI and by a factor of six in those with persistent (>3 days) AKI [ 10].
The delay from diagnosis to infectious disease specialist advice (i.e. first phone contact, consultation or hospitalization) tended to have been higher for patients with treatment failure (6.3 days; IQR, 0.7 91.0; p = 0.445), and especially for those with persistent infection (7.7 days; IQR, 0.4 161.0; p = 0.217) than for patients with favourable outcome.
Consenting women with persistent (>4 days) oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid ≤2 cm) received serial transabdominal amnioinfusions to maintain an amniotic fluid pocket >2 cm.
Viral shedding was evaluated in the subset of patients that remained under mechanical ventilation for longer than seven days and in those patients with persistent hypoxemia and pulmonary infiltrate.
The likelihood of RTW (≥105 days) was higher among those with persistent mental illness OR= 2.97 (95% CI, 2.10-4.20) and those with low mental well-being OR= 2.89 (95% CI, 2.31-3.62) adjustingusting for gender, age, SES, hours worked and sick leave 2007.
Adults in ICU for at least 3 days with a shock or persistent low blood pressure were extracted from a French ICU database and included.
The inclusion criteria for cases are (i) all individuals (aged ≥1 year) presenting with persistent diarrhoea (≥14 days); and/or (ii) children/adolescents (aged 1 18 years) with persistent abdominal pain (≥14 days).
