Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the performance of computer-coded verbal autopsies (CCVA) to physician-coded verbal autopsies (PCVA) at the population level. In order to do so a randomised control trial is being conducted in five districts of India. In each district, 50% of deaths are randomly selected for PCVA and the rest for CCVA. The cause of death distribution for both groups are then compared within each district. If the performance of PCVA and CCVA are comparable, the attained distributions should be similar.
Severe sepsis/septic shock are serious complications of infection with high morbidity and mortality. Recent information showed that early and aggressive resuscitation may help improving survival and outcome especially the resuscitation within the first 3 hours. In surgical patients, either severe sepsis/septic shock bought them to the operating room or this sepsis might be found after surgery resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Not only knowledge management, others possible risk factors should also be identified and corrected for outcome improving. This prospective observational study will be done in 800 adult surgical patients admitting to the general surgical intensive care unit. Incidence of severe sepsis/septic shock on admission along with risk factors associated with poor outcomes [organ failure (AKI, ALI, PMI, liver failure, stroke), prolonged ICU length of, stay, ICU death] will be recorded especially effect of amount and type of fluid replacement in the first 6 hours, 24, 48 and 72 hours after diagnosis. Outcome as major organ failure, ICU length of stay, ICU, 28 and 90 days mortality will also be study.
