UnknownVentilatory settings in the initial 72 h and their association with outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a preplanned secondary analysis of the targeted hypothermia versus targeted normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial.

Purpose

The optimal ventilatory settings in patients after cardiac arrest and their association with outcome remain unclear. The aim of this study was to describe the ventilatory settings applied in the first 72 h of mechanical ventilation in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and...

UnknownRegional Practice Variation and Outcomes in the Standard Versus Accelerated Initiation of Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury (STARRT-AKI) Trial: A Post Hoc Secondary Analysis.

Objectives

Among patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) admitted to the ICU in high-income countries, regional practice variations for fluid balance (FB) management, timing, and choice of renal replacement therapy (RRT) modality may be significant.

Design

Secondary post hoc an...

UnknownA randomized, pilot trial of etanercept in dermatomyositis.

Objective

The aims of this pilot study were to assess (1) the safety and tolerability of etanercept in dermatomyositis (DM); (2) the feasibility and safety of a forced prednisone taper; and (3) outcome measures, including those recommended by the International Myositis Assessment Clinical St...

UnknownImpact of postoperative acute kidney injury in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery on 1-year survival and renal outcomes: a national multicentre cohort study.

Background

The intermediate-term impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after major gastrointestinal and liver surgery has not been well characterized. This study aimed to evaluate the 1-year mortality rate and renal outcomes associated with postoperative AKI in a national prospecti...

UnknownEarly short course of neuromuscular blocking agents in patients with COVID-19 ARDS: a propensity score analysis.

Background

The role of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate in COVID-19 patients with moderate-to-severe ARDS the impact of early use of NMBAs on 90-...

UnknownComparison of European ICU patients in 2012 (ICON) versus 2002 (SOAP).

Purpose

To evaluate differences in the characteristics and outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients over time.

Methods

We reviewed all epidemiological data, including comorbidities, types and severity of organ failure, interventions, lengths of stay and outcome, for patients fro...

UnknownExtended pharmacological thromboprophylaxis and clinically relevant venous thromboembolism after major abdominal and pelvic surgery: international, prospective, propensity score-weighted cohort study.

Background

There is low-certainty evidence on the impact of extended pharmacological prophylaxis on venous thromboembolism-associated morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of extended prophylaxis after major abdominopelvic surgery for the pre...

UnknownMeropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam optimised dosing regimens for critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy.

Purpose

Optimal dosing of meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam in critically ill patients receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) is uncertain due to variable pharmacokinetics. We aimed to develop generalisable optimised dosing recommendations for these antibiotics.

Methods

Prospec...

UnknownRefining the accuracy of validated target identification through coding variant fine-mapping in type 2 diabetes.
We aggregated coding variant data for 81,412 type 2 diabetes cases and 370,832 controls of diverse ancestry, identifying 40 coding variant association signals (P < 2.2 × 10-7); of these, 16 map outside known risk-associated loci. We make two important observations. First, only five of the...

UnknownChallenges of one-year longitudinal follow-up of a prospective, observational cohort study using an anonymised database: recommendations for trainee research collaboratives.

Background

Trainee research collaboratives (TRCs) have pioneered high quality, prospective 'snap-shot' surgical cohort studies in the UK. Outcomes After Kidney injury in Surgery (OAKS) was the first TRC cohort study to attempt to collect one-year follow-up data. The aims of this study were t...
