Filter by:Critically ill patients are at risk of or suffering from one or more key organs or organ system failure. This study will measure the effect of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) interventions on critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is effective for prevention and treatment of organ failure in ICU patients. Patients in this group will receive intervention for 2 weeks. A multi-center non-randomized real word data study, will include 3 groups: intervention group (TCM)(n=70), control group and historical control group (admitted to the same ICU in the period of 01.2019 to 12.2023). Main outcomes include sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, number of days of respirator uses and western medicine medication used study follow up will be 2 weeks.
The association between weight, and cardiovascular disease and mortality is well established, however, the causal effect of weight-loss in midlife on these outcomes is less clear. Bariatric surgery results in substantial weight-loss and is an ideal candidate to study the causal effects of weight-loss. The investigators propose a project that will use causal inference and machine learning methods to answer two important questions: 1. Is bariatric surgery effective for reducing cardiovascular disease and mortality, and if so, for who? 2. Which type of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) is most effective, and for who? The investigators will use data from various Swedish registers to identify individuals with obesity who are eligible for bariatric surgery. We will then compare cardiovascular and mortality outcomes among those undergoing different types of bariatric surgery with those receiving non-surgical obesity management using causal inference methods. The investigators will use causal forests and expert knowledge to estimate indiviual treatment effects, and identify the groups of patients who benefit the most from these surgeries.
Interventional study designed for the evaluation of characters and the outcome of scorpion sting patients will admit to Sohag University Hospitals in 2 randomized groups. The first group will receive scorpion antivenom only whether by the intravenous or the intramuscular route of administration. The second group will receive a combination of prazosin plus scorpion antivenom whether by the intravenous or the intramuscular route of administration. Both groups will receive proper first aid and supportive treatment
REAL-MOXY is a set of 5 mixed methods studies designed to understand how oxygen and pulse oximetry are used (or not used) at a facility level, to identify opportunities and barriers for strengthening oxygen systems for beneficiaries, users and managers.
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is a lifesaving tool used to treat cardiogenic shock, acute heart failure, or extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR). However, its use is associated with significant complications, including mortality. We aim to conduct a retrospective observational study of all patients at Heart Hospital who required VA-ECMO support due to cardiogenic shock during 1/06/2016 and 1/06/2022 to report the incidence of in-hospital mortality among patients who required VA-ECMO along with the predictors of mortality. Data will be collected to identify baseline characteristics and outcomes including clinical variables predictive of poor outcomes.
In the assessment of severity in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the modified Brit_x0002_ish Thoracic Society (mBTS)，CURB65 et al. rules identifies patients with severe pneumonia but not patients who might be suitable for home management. A multicentre prospective study was conducted to derive and validate a practical severity assessment model for stratifying adults hospitalised with COVID-19 into different management groups.
This study is a prospective, multicenter clinical study. It is intended to discuss the efficacy of starting Azovudine treatment as early as possible for all types of patients of COVID-19, the time of remission of specific symptoms, the proportion of patients with severe diseases, oxygen and conditions, and related adverse reactions, so as to understand the efficacy and safety of Azovudine treatment in all types of COVID-19, and provide real world data support for the treatment of the majority of COVID-19 patients.
Long-term conventional treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism does not fully restore calcium homeostasis leading to increased morbidity, emergency events and reduced subjective health status. To further investigate general morbidity, hypocalcemic events, subjective and daily life performance in patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism a standardized interview as well as blood sampling and examinations such as echocardiography and renal ultrasound are performed.
In mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care unit, anemia is commonly seen and it is probably associated with adverse outcomes including mortality. We aim to investigate the impact of duration of anemia and the duration of mechanical ventilation as well as clinical outcomes in critically ill patients in intensive care unit who required ventilatory support >96 hr.
This is a single-center, prospective observational pilot study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of trazodone as compared to quetiapine, in the management of ICU delirium in adult (>=18 years old) surgical and medical ICU patients. The investigators will compare outcomes such as delirium duration, delirium-free days, coma-free days, in-hospital mortality, 28-day mortality, hospital length of stay (LOS), ICU LOS, mechanical ventilator days, complications, adverse effects, rescue medication use, delirium symptom severity, sleep duration, and sleep quality among participants receiving trazodone or quetiapine. The investigators hypothesize participants receiving trazodone will be associated with a shorter duration of delirium, decreased delirium severity, and improved sleep quality compared to participants receiving quetiapine.
