Models developed specific for CEA might accurately predict mortality.
These results suggested that sodium level itself might accurately predict mortality in association with comorbidities or other related factors; however, the correction of sodium alone did not contribute to a survival benefit, particularly under the strong influence of comorbidities.
As current evidence suggests that the pathophysiology of post-cardiac arrest shock is very similar to that of patients with septic shock, we hypothesized that DNA concentrations at hospital admission might also predict mortality in patients in the immediate post-arrest period.
The objective of this study was to evaluate if qSOFA might predict hospital mortality in a Brazilian cohort of non-infected critically ill patients.
Although the greater the CVP, the higher the BNP values at baseline (Additional file 4), we found that disproportionately elevated BNP in relation to CVP after initial fluid resuscitation might predict increased mortality.
Therefore, the APACHE IV prognostic model might be applied to predict mortality in Korea regional ICUs.
Our findings demonstrate that, in severe sepsis, monitoring the changes of mHLA-DR over time might be beneficial to predict mortality in comparison with a single measurement of mHLA-DR.
On the other hand, the current results suggest that Δ-EVLWi alone might not be adequate as a practical and useful parameter to predict mortality.
Interestingly, the authors observed that while long telomeres might be a prerequisite for exceptional lifespan in humans, they did not predict mortality.
Obesity, loss of muscle, and low NK cell number all predict mortality in the elderly [ 23, 24, 139- 141], suggesting that these factors might combine to promote diseases of the elderly, including infection and cancer.
