They found that recessions were duration dependent whilst expansions were not.
The primary variables were duration of diarrhea, stool characteristics, and intake.
Controlled parameters were duration of microwave pulse, maximum temperature and total duration of the synthesis.
Secondary end points were duration of mechanical ventilation and 28 days mortality.
Secondary endpoints were duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU length of stay and mortality.
The secondary outcome analyzed were duration of ICU stay, ventilator free days and ICU free days.
The independent risk factors for poor outcome in multivariate analysis were: duration of antibiotic treatment >7 days, the reintubation and the presence of a previous hospitalization.
However the parameters found to be statistically significant different were duration of attacks and frequency of attacks (longer and more frequent with increasing age).
The secondary outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drug use, laboratory results related to organ dysfunction and length of intensive care unit hospitalization.
Exclusion criteria were duration of injury >4 days, inability to take part in postoperative rehabilitation, open fractures, medical contraindications to surgery, fracture requiring open reduction or neurovascular exploration, previous ipsilateral elbow fracture, and floating elbow injury.
The two main risk factors found were: duration of hospitalization in the ICU over 29 days (HR = 3.61; p = 0.01) and presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in samples taken before the start of treatment (HR = 5.31; p = 0.002).
