BACKGROUND: Sepsis remains a significant challenge in patients with major trauma in the ICU. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and reducing mortality rates. Nonetheless, clinical tools for predicting sepsis among patien...
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is common in septic patients, characterized by acute and long-term cognitive impairment, and is associated with higher mortality. This study aimed to identify SAE-related biomarkers and evaluate their diagnostic...
It is evident that Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an independent risk factor for both the survival of patients and their kidneys. Here, we present a case of oliguric AKI secondary to blunt trauma-induced crush syndrome complicated with severe sepsis in...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sepsis are the leading causes of high mortality rates in intensive care units. While sepsis frequently affects the cardiovascular system, distinguishing between sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and AMI remains chall...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is an uncontrolled reaction to infection that causes severe organ dysfunction and is a primary cause of ARDS. Patients suffering both sepsis and ARDS have a poor prognosis and high mortality. However, the mechanisms behind their si...
BACKGROUND: Predicting mortality in sepsis-related acute kidney injury facilitates early data-driven treatment decisions. Machine learning is predicting mortality in S-AKI in a growing number of studies. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review...
BACKGROUND: In recent years, machine learning (ML)-based models have been widely used in clinical domains to predict clinical risk events. However, in production, the performances of such models heavily rely on changes in the system and data. The dyn...
INTRODUCTION: In sepsis treatment, achieving and maintaining effective antibiotic therapy is crucial. However, optimal antibiotic dosing faces challenges due to significant variability among patients with sepsis. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), th...
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction condition produced by dysregulation of the host response to infection. It is now characterized by a high clinical morbidity and mortality rate, endangering patients' lives and health. The pur...
Patients with positive blood cultures in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at high risk for septic acute kidney injury requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), especially when treated with vancomycin. This study developed a machine lea...
