However, it is increasingly clear that long-term mortality after ARDS and other critical illness is substantially higher than short-term mortality; long-term mortality may be driven by different factors than short-term.
After inspection of all abstracts, 20 randomized controlled trials (Table 1) and 28 follow-up and epidemiologic studies (Table 2) focusing on attempted and completed suicides, suicidal ideation, or mortality (long-term follow-up of lithium-treated patients and epidemiological studies including record linkage) were included in the review.
Free text terms, including "post-discharge mortality", "long-term outcomes" and other similar terms were also used.
Effective management of FN events may have a significant impact on patients' quality of life, morbidity, mortality, long-term survival and finances.
8 9 If untreated, mood disturbance is associated with higher rates of mortality, long-term disability, hospital readmissions, suicide and higher utilisation of outpatient services.
Given these pros and cons of artificial nutrition in critical illness, clinical trials should have clinical (morbidity, mortality, long-term functional outcome) and not nutritional or other surrogate endpoints.
Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has transformed HIV from a deadly to a chronic disease, but HIV patients are still burdened with excess morbidity and mortality, long-term toxicities from cART, stigmatization, and insufficient access to cART worldwide.
Despite the success of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in reducing HIV-associated morbidity and mortality, long-term ART is frequently associated with metabolic abnormalities including dyslipidemia, lipodystrophy, and insulin resistance [ 1, 2].
Warwick et al. [ 21] investigated the significance of RDW in patients candidate for coronary bypass surgery and analyzed in-hospital mortality, long-term survival rates, lengths of hospital, and ICU stay.
To investigate the relationship between laparoscopic treatment and the outcomes postoperative mortality, long-term survival and postoperative length of hospital stay, logistic, Cox and linear regression hierarchical random-effects models were fitted.
