Introduction We aimed to identify factors associated with ICU survival among selected patients receiving Extra Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) for in-hospital or out-of-hospital refractory cardiac arrest.
This has in turn led to a focus on patients at high risk of high utilisation, with the introduction of algorithms to identify those patients and complex case management interventions to manage them.
The reduction of sepsis-related mortality since 2007 may represent the results of the introduction of changes to identify such patients, for example, Early Warning Scoring systems, Critical Care Outreach, efforts to improve awareness and training (eg, Surviving Sepsis Campaign).
Introduction: This study aimed to identify and describe a set of longitudinal HRQoL trajectories then determine factors associated with trajectory class membership of patients after acute illness.
Introduction: The aim was to identify factors associated with the occurrence of acute pituitary hormone dysfunction in children with moderate to severe TBI and to describe the impact of this dysfunction on the stability of the children.
As noted in the introduction, GWAS are expected to identify regions likely to harbor common variants of modest effect.
As mentioned in the Introduction, we have yet to identify the putative receptor for HDV and HBV.
All suggest that the introduction of such teams to identify and manage complications on the ward might prevent unnecessary admissions to the ICU and reduce morbidity and mortality.
In addition, we asked every participant during the introduction of the FGD to identify themselves as a daily or a non-daily smoker.
An understanding of the population dynamics of MAP can be used to identify introduction events, improve control efforts and target transmission pathways, although this requires an adequate understanding of MAP diversity and distribution between herds and across the country.
