Across 12 of the 14 books, 123.5 days were described, though Bond was unable to consume alcohol for 36 days because of external pressures (admission to hospital, incarceration, rehabilitation).
Using multiple logistic regression analysis (mortality) and Cox proportional hazards analysis (survival), eight factors were identified as determinants of outcome: age, head AIS score, chest AIS score, abdominal AIS score, calendar year of admission, external injury AIS score, mechanism of the injury and primary receiving hospital.
Secondary endpoints are the severity of the disease of the admitted patients, detected by the scoring systems SAPS II and APACHE II as well as the length of stay in external hospitals before admission.
In summary, we observed only one significant correlation out of the eight that we tested between the full-information and video PIR-GAS ratings and the two external criteria at admission and discharge.
13 As cases and controls were frequency matched in the week of admission, external factors such as media coverage of the influenza pandemic should not have had a differential effect on respiratory illness reporting.
Patients aged <18 years, LOS in ICU <48 hours, previous stays on one of the department's ICUs during the same hospital admission, external warming/cooling methods, need for cardiac or pulmonary extracorporeal assist devices and no mechanical ventilation at the time of admission were defined as exclusion criteria (see CONSORT diagram in Figure 1).
This included factors external to the admission-decision itself, such as housing, social network, and follow up-options.
In cases of external cannulation and patient admission from external hospitals, laboratory values for the first days on ECMO were missing.
In cases of external cannulation and patient admission from external hospitals, laboratory values for the first days on ECMO were frequently missing; this occurred in four patients concerning 5.6 ± 4.7 ECMO-days.
In some cases, there was documented removal of small, synchronous polyps by external gastroenterologists prior to admission.
