BACKGROUND: Delirium frequently complicates elderly chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients due to multifactorial vulnerability. Early detection in geriatric intensive care unit (ICU) settings is challenged by traditional assessments' communication def...
BACKGROUND: The global burden of ischaemic stroke (IS) is high, which is potentially relevant to stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) and glycaemic variability (GV). This study aims to evaluate the combined effect of the SHR and GV with predict short-ter...
BACKGROUND: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) remains a critical condition associated with high mortality rates, prolonged hospitalization, and reduced quality of life despite advances in critical care. The albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG)...
Antimicrobial resistance and infection control
Nov 18, 2025
BACKGROUND: The transmission of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in intensive care units (ICUs) poses a significant challenge to infection control and patient safety. While direct patient-to-patient transmission is well documented, the relative contribu...
Liver cancer has a high incidence and mortality rate globally, particularly in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Early prediction of in-hospital mortality for these patients is crucial, yet lacking reliable tools. This study aim...
The hypotension prediction index (HPI) is a machine learning-based model for predicting hypotension. It provides good performance for predicting intraoperative hypotension but has rarely been studied in critically ill patients admitted to the intensi...
Sepsis-induced glucose fluctuations present major challenges in critical care, underscoring the importance of accurate glucose monitoring and forecasting to improve patient outcomes. This study introduces a suite of forecasting models trained using c...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review addresses the critical care challenges encountered after gastrointestinal surgery, emphasizing the high incidence of postoperative complications and the pivotal role of early recognition and management in improving pati...
Delirium is an acute syndrome characterized by fluctuating attention, cognitive impairment, and severe disorganization of behavior, which has been shown to affect up to 31% of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Early detection can enable time...
BACKGROUND: Infective endocarditis (IE) carries high in-hospital mortality, particularly among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The predictive role of blood culture positivity in these patients remains unclear.
