Outcomes were mortality, length of stay (LOS), and cost.
ICU mortality, length of stay and the corresponding costs were similar in the three groups.
CMV reactivation may be responsible for higher mortality, length of stay and mechanical ventilation.
Asynchrony was not associated with a higher intensive care unit mortality, length of stay or duration of mechanical ventilation.
No difference in mortality, length of mechanical ventilation or length of ICU or hospital stay was found[29 34].
The late phase mortality, length of stays and complications such as PSMVT were all significantly higher in the IPN group.
What is the effect of medical injury on risk of mortality, length of stay in hospital and associated costs?
The early application of CPAP reduced hospital mortality, length of stay, and the need for intubation and ventilation.
Secondary outcomes were hemoglobin change, 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality, length of stay, and oncologic outcomes.
Further studies are needed to explore other strong outcomes like mortality, length of stay in hospital, and money saved with the use of ultrasound in developing countries.
This study was a negative one, failing at demonstrating any beneficial effect of steroid treatment on ICU mortality, length of mechanical ventilation, and ICU stay.
