Our results may be clinically relevant, since a simple determination of PaO2/FIO2 ratio may provide very important information for determining outcome, both in terms of mortality and length of stay, in the immediate postoperative care of cardiac surgery patients.
In determining outcome, a negative response was assigned for patients who had the device removed.
The factors important in determining outcome when managing adult blunt splenic injuries continue to be debated.
The MFS has previously been shown to be a reliable and valid indicator for determining outcome after intra-articular calcaneal fractures [23].
Assuming that all other treatments are done similarly and correctly, one can then analyze the effectiveness and safety of specific fluid types in determining outcome.
Objectives: Use serial MR imaging to determine the characteristics of early and late brain injury and investigate their role in determining outcome after SAH.
The leading cause of death in these patients remained HF, and this mode of death was competing with other causes in determining outcome.
Our findings suggest a surprising and critical role for cortical activation via non-invasive sensory stimulation in determining outcome following an ischemic event.
The way in which the innate and adaptive immune system initially recognizes and deals with replicating virus could be decisive in determining outcome of infection, as this might heavily influence the kinetics of viral clearance [1], [2], [3].
Thus, UL147 and US28 appear insignificant in determining outcome.
Age and injury severity are particularly important in determining outcome.
