Based on sub-group analysis by simple vote counts, results appeared to vary by the following covariates: type of intervention, ward-specific vs. hospital-wide interventions (significant p-value), severity of illness of patient populations (significant p-value), VRE acquisition occurrence at the institution, study design, and the duration of the intervention.
Based on SEPAR [ 37] values, severity was distributed as follows: 37.7% mild stage, 43.5% moderate stage and 18.8% severe stage.
Validity of the subcutaneous CGM under norepinephrine therapy was furthermore independent of levels of blood glucose values, severity of illness, and patients' BMI (16).
At baseline and after 3 months of follow-up, there were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding age, height, weight, sex, side of operation, platelet count, hemoglobin values, severity of complaints (WOMAC), and level of pain.
All quantitative data elements such as admission and discharge time, vital status at ICU and hospital discharge, laboratory values, severity score and demographic attributes will be derived from clinical and administrative databases collected by the regional department of critical care medicine for quality assurance and clinical purposes (see online supplementary additional file I).
Patients with structural brain lesion admitted in ICU (TBI and stroke) have a high value of severity assessed by SAPS-3.
Although NT-proBNP on admission and at 48 hours showed a good performance for prognosis of in-hospital mortality, with AUC ROC > 0.8 for both, they did not improve the value of severity scores usually used in ICUs.
They may have value as severity predictors.
Analysis of CRP has also shown promising predictive value for severity of pyometra [ 22].
