Subglottic secretion drainage has been shown to significantly reduce VAP incidence, antimicrobial use, and duration of mechanical ventilation [14, 15].
These were performed by eight different ophthalmologists with the use and duration of post-injection topical antibiotics at the discretion of the individual treating physician.
While VAP-attributable mortality is still a matter for debate [4], this ICU-acquired infection is associated with increased antimicrobial use and duration of mechanical ventilation [5, 6].
Source: Global Competitiveness Report 2000, World Economic Forum (2000) Conscription: Data on the use and duration of military conscription were used to construct rating intervals.
Other variables included demographics data, primary diagnosis, APACHE II score, need of mechanical ventilation, use and duration of CVC, hospital mortality, and others.
However, a significant association was observed between rescue analgesic use and duration of surgical procedure and a few procedures in the narrow classification of surgical procedures, osteotomy, ligament repair and reconstruction, osteosynthesis, and treatment for an amputated digit.
Subjects were asked about the starting year/month of VDT use and duration of VDT use hour/day and day/month.
Risk factors, antifungal use and duration of therapy were noted.
Aminoglycoside use and duration of aminoglycoside therapy were positively correlated with 5-year survival.
Other factors that influenced outcomes in both models included G-CSF use and duration of therapy.
We asked for specific details including past and current use and duration of use.
