Between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2010, the median delay between the estimated date of onset of a case of pertussis and the date the local public health unit was notified of that case was seven days.
The median delay between each session was 2 days (1 4).
Median delay between the onset of symptoms and ICU admission was 5 [4 + 6] days.
Median delay between ICU discharge and readmission was 81 days [2 - 298] and with consultation 3.5 months [0 5].
Most patients were colonised by rectal ESBL at admission (median delay between ICU admission and colonisation 1 day (0 4.5)).
The median delay between admission and commencement of SPRINT for this cohort was 1.9 hours and 81% of the cohort was on SPRINT within 6 hours.
The median delay between diagnosis and Ammonul prescription was 100 min [75 209] in the without group and 47 min [0 81] in the with group (p < 0.001), the median delay between diagnosis and Ammonul administration was 173 min [95 339] in the without group and 173 min [73 276] in the with group (p = 0.63).
When LP were performed within the first 24 h after admission, the median delay between admission and cranial CT was 2 h; the median delay for patients admitted between midnight and 6 a.m. was 7 h.
The median delay between admission and LP results was 6 h, whereas delays of up to 10 h were recorded for some of the patients admitted between midnight and 6 a.m.
The median number of collected samples was 3 (2–7) per patient, and the median delay between ICU admission and the first respiratory tract sample positive for Aspergillus spp. was 3 days (1 11) (Table 5).
Strikingly, the median delay between the first respiratory sample positive for Aspergillus spp. and mechanical ventilation initiation was 3 days, consistent with a previous study in mechanically ventilated non-ARDS patients [11], suggesting that respiratory tract colonization by Aspergillus spores had occurred prior to ARDS onset.
