Filter by:Sepsis and septic shock patients are considered to have a high risk of complications and death. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy plays an important role in determining outcomes in septic patients. However, pathophysiologic changes associated with critical illness have an impact on pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials. In addition, increasing bacterial resistance is also a growing concern, especially in intensive care units., Consequently, standard antimicrobial dose may not be sufficient to achieve pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target in sepsis and septic shock patients. The purpose of this study is to compare a therapy between meropenem standard dose and meropenem high dose in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock
The role of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) intake in the development of total death, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension and overweight are in great controversy but evidence from large population in China is scant.The investigators aim to use the data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey to assess the long-term association of SFAs intake with total mortality, diabetes, hypertension and overweight.
This study evaluates the predictors of intensive care unit admission and mortality among stroke patients and the effects of pulmonary physiotherapy on these stroke patients. One-hundred patients participated in the pulmonary rehabilitation program and 81 patients served as a control group.
This study investigates the association of preoperative polypharmacy with outcomes and healthcare resource utilization in a population-based sample of older patients enrolled in a universal pharmacare program
Fractures of the upper femur (EFSF) represent a major public health problem in the elderly. Approximately 1.6 million patients are victims each year of an EFSF and this number is increasing as a result of the aging of the population. In a recent Amiens retrospective study the mortality was estimated to be 22.5% at 1 year of the fracture. In surviving patients, the impact on loss of autonomy and degradation of quality of life is considerable. The reduction of the incidence of post-operative complications includes the identification of risk factors. No prospective study in Amiens has investigated the mortality and the study of the variables involved in the prognosis and long-term mortality of these patients.
This study evaluates the predictive value of soluvent urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and lactate with respect to serious conditions among patients presenting to the EMS with unspecific symptoms.
This is an investigation to examine the correlation and predictive ability of activity measures obtained from cardiovascular implantable electrical devices.
