To maintain a high-positive predictive value, screening algorithms must be carefully re-evaluated with regard to the screening modalities and length of the screening interval.
A central question is whether the representation of time is distributed over brain regions as a function of stimulus modality, task and length of the duration used or whether it is centralized in a single specific and supramodal network.
Finally, larger randomized controlled trials are necessary to explore the possible benefits of TV-US, three-dimensional ultrasound imaging modality, and uterine length measurement before transfer.
We also recorded vital signs, any need for life-support therapy, feeding modality (route and average intake), any iatrogenic event, crude mortality, and length of ICU stay.
At each step, recommendations for diagnostic procedures, treatment modalities, and the length of treatment before evaluation are made.
Numerous studies have been undertaken comparing treatment modalities for SAIS with various outcome measures and length of follow up.
Factors studied in relation to the severity of illness requiring admission to ICU were: number of ICU admissions, reason for admission, number and modality of organ support, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, and length of ICU stay.
