This approach could only be considered for a disease with an increasing outcome or a degenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease.
Exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with increased cardiovascular outcomes, mediated by a hypothesized biological mechanism of systemic inflammation and oxidation.
A persistent gap between ICU bed supply and demand was associated with increased unfavourable outcomes in all quality indicators.
A previous study showed that receiving subsequent defibrillation earlier (<20 minutes) rather than later (≥20 minutes) was associated with increased favorable outcomes for CA patients [ 17].
MTH was associated with increased good neurological outcome at hospital discharge in patients without PCI.
Education, knowledge and skills are important and useful both for job motivation in general and for PA in particular, along with increasing learning outcome.
Coussens and colleagues have recently described that the ratio of macrophages to T cells predicts clinical outcome, with increased macrophage recruitment associated with worse outcome [ 63].
We found that either younger age or initial PEA rhythms were associated with increased favorable neurological outcomes in patients with initially nonshockable rhythms (Table 4).
Involving communities in maternal and child health and birth preparedness programmes, as well as refurbishing clinics and hospital facilities, was also associated with increased positive health outcomes.
Anemia is frequent in intensive care medicine and is associated with increased morbidity and worsened outcome [1].
