Increased use of non-invasive ventilation, more widespread use of low tidal volume ventilation, and restriction of intravenous fluids might have improved mortality as there have been no significant changes in care of PCP to account for differences.
(2) Does additional IVIG improve mortality?
Therapeutic stimulation of these processes in all areas of damaged tissue might improve morbidity and mortality from stroke.
Interventions such as nutritional supplementation and dietetic assessment, comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention programs, and in-hospital programs might improve outcomes, including mortality after hip fracture [ 24, 25].
Søyseth et al. hypothesized that statins might improve all-cause mortality in COPD because many COPD patients probably have unrecognized ischaemic heart disease [ 22].
In Taiwan, the initial mortality rate of nontraumatic aneurysm is lower as the health provision system might improve incidence of short-term mortality; however, the overall mortality was found to be similar to other countries.
Knowledge of the most frequent etiologies of NTC and associated mortality might improve the management of these patients.
For patients with a relatively preserved liver function, however, prevention of bleeding might improve prognosis, by reducing mortality due to exsanguination as well as from the complications frequently encountered after variceal bleeding, including hepatorenal syndrome, infections and multi-organ failure.
These observations spawned the hope that increasing DO2 might improve tissue oxygenation and ultimately decrease mortality.
The rationale of cervical screening is to reduce the incidence of cancer by the detection and treatment of precursors. 1 2 A secondary aim is the early detection of invasive disease, which might improve the prognosis thereby also reducing mortality from the disease.
