Age < 18 years, pregnancy, neutropenia (< 1.5 G/L) or known immunosuppression, limited intensive care, inclusion into another clinical trial, and refusal of written informed consent were considered exclusion criteria.
The identification of a further ten AFP cases supports inclusion of intensive care units in national AFP surveillance, particularly specialist paediatric intensive care units, to identify AFP cases that may not otherwise be reported to the national surveillance system.
The inclusion of intensive observations in the reanalysis dataset allows us to capture qualitatively which atmospheric structures trigger Philippine summer monsoon onset.
The median time from admission to the intensive care unit to inclusion in the study was 15 days (range 2 30 days).
The length of stay in the intensive care unit before inclusion was shown to be a relevant factor in the onset of delirium.
The mean stay on the intensive care unit until inclusion was 3.2 ± 2.9 days and sepsis was diagnosed on the day of intensive care unit admission in all individuals.
As patients were included at the time they scored a Glasgow Coma Scale of 10 or more, the length of stay in the intensive care unit before inclusion was observed as an indicator for coma or induced coma.
More intensive taxonomic sampling, particularly inclusion of coelacanth, would provide more solid inference for the origin of tetrapods and other phylogenetic problems currently discussed mainly based on mitochondrial sequences.
Since we are caring for much debilitated patients referred from other centers that require intensive monitoring and our restricted inclusion criteria, we could not get as many patients as we planned.
Unfortunately, the number of participants enrolled was much below our plan since we are caring for much debilitated patients referred from other centers around that require intensive monitoring and our restricted inclusion criteria.
