Acute heart failure (AHF), a common and growing health concern worldwide, is associated with high risk of post-discharge rehospitalization and mortality.

Identifying patients at high risk of post-extubation acute respiratory failure requiring respiratory or mechanical cough assistance remains challenging.
The survey participants had a good knowledge on factors associated with a high risk of post-surgical adhesion formation, similar to those quoted in the literature [10].
Such procedures leave a high risk of post-operative complications [22, 23], and so in our hospital, these patients are routinely treated in an HDU during the first 48 h of the post-operative period.
Given the persistent challenges in identifying patients at high risk of post-extubation respiratory failure requiring, at best, NIV or mechanical cough assistance and, at worst, reintubation, we chose weaning failure defined as the use of NIV, cough assistance, and/or reintubation as the study endpoint.
We finally confirmed that patients with IE have a high risk of post-operative AKI following cardiac surgery [ 2- 4].
Consequently, the pre-term infants who develop BPD are at high risk of post-natal growth failure [ 6].
This will allow better informed use of available resources to target preventive measures in women at high risk of post-surgical adhesions.
Cardiothoracic surgery carries a high risk of post-operative renal failure, but the effect of the management of RRT on mortality is unclear in these patients.
Several thresholds between these limits may be used to identify women with low, medium, and high risk of post-surgical adhesions.
