The aim was to evaluate the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration and sleep architecture before and after fast-track hip and knee replacement with length of stay (LOS) <3 days.
Renal biomarkers represent an attractive new diagnostic tool which not only implies early diagnosis of AKI, but provides also information about patients at risk for AKI and prediction of adverse clinical outcome parameters like the need for renal replacement therapy, length of stay in ICU and mortality.
There was no statistical relationship found between the presence of cysts or cyst activity with respect to the type of hormone replacement or length of time since menopause.
Urinary NGAL values, cystatin C values, contrast media associated changes of cardiac parameters such as NT-pro-BNP/Troponin T, changes in urinary cytology, need for renal replacement treatment, length of hospital stay and death.
Secondary outcomes will include urinary NGAL values, cystatin C values, contrast media associated changes in cardiac parameters such as NT-pro-BNP/troponin T, changes in urinary cytology, need for renal replacement treatment, length of stay in hospital and death.
The groups were comparable for age, gender, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, need for renal replacement therapy, length of stay, and Hb levels on discharge and at transfusion.
Furthermore, compared with placebo, rFVIIa failed to show any benefits on overall blood loss, the requirements for crystalloid or colloid replacement, or length of stay in hospital or on the intensive care unit.
Critically ill, active cigarette smokers were identified as our study group, and demographic information, the use of nicotine replacement, ICU length of stay, and ICU mortality were collected and analyzed.
Where available, the following variables were extracted from routinely performed measurements documented in the medical charts: demographic data, pre-existent diseases, chronic beta-blocker therapy, source of infection, need for renal replacement therapy, length of stay in the ICU, and 28-day mortality.
We evaluated 4,500 consecutive unselected total hip replacements and total knee replacements regarding length of hospital stay, mortality, and perioperative complications.
