PURPOSE: To reveal factors related to gender parity on editorial boards of critical care journals indexing in SCI-E. METHODS: The genders were defined according to data obtained from journals' websites between 01-30 September 2022. Publisher properties and journal metrics were analyzed by using Chi-square, Fisher exact, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Spearman's correlation coefficient. Logistic regression analysis was used to reveal independent factors. RESULTS: Women's representation on editorial boards was 23...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) and atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS), once in remission, may cause long-term symptoms, among which mental-health impairments may be difficult to detect. We conducted telephone interviews 72 [48-84] months after ICU discharge to assess symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the 36-item Short Form questionnaire (SF-36). Of 103 included patients, 52 had iTTP and 51 aHUS; 74% were female, median age was 39 y (31-54), and 39 (38%) patients were still taking treatment...

PURPOSE: This work aimed to compare physical impairment in survivors of classic ARDS compared with COVID-19-associated ARDS (CARDS) survivors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a prospective observational cohort study on 248 patients with CARDS and compared them with a historical cohort of 48 patients with classic ARDS. Physical performance was evaluated at 6 and 12 months after ICU discharge, using the Medical Research Council Scale (MRCss), 6-min walk test (6MWT), handgrip dynamometry (HGD), and fatigue severity score (FSS)...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to analyze intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired pneumonia according to 7 definitions, estimating associated hospital mortality. METHODS: This cohort study was nested within an international randomized trial, evaluating the effect of probiotics on ICU-acquired pneumonia in 2650 mechanically ventilated adults. Each clinically suspected pneumonia was adjudicated by two physicians blinded to allocation and center. The primary outcome was ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) informed by ventilation for ≥2 days, new, progressive or persistent infiltrate plus 2 of: temperature > 38 °C or < 36 °C; leukopenia (<3 × 10(Fernando et al...

BACKGROUND: The reliability of echocardiographic methods for the assessment of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is still a matter of debate. Since its first description, the E/e' ratio has been regarded as a suitable method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evidence of how E/e' effectively estimates PCWP and its diagnostic accuracy for elevated PCWP. METHODS: We systematically searched MEDLINE and Embase databases for studies investigating the agreement between E/e' and PCWP, from inception to July 2022...

PURPOSE: To further analyse causes and effects of ICU-acquired hypernatremia. METHODS: This retrospective, single-centre study, analysed 994 patients regarding ICU-acquired hypernatremia. Non-hypernatremic patients (n = 617) were compared to early-hypernatremic (only before ICU-day 4; n = 87), prolonged-hypernatremic (before and after ICU-day 4; n = 169) and late-hypernatremic patients (only after ICU-day 4; n = 121). Trends in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urea-to-creatinine ratio (UCR), fraction of urea in total urine osmolality and urine sodium were compared...

PURPOSE: To examine the effect of kidney recovery on mortality, dialysis and kidney transplantation up to 15 years after AKI. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 29,726 survivors of critical illness and compared these outcomes stratified by AKI and recovery status at hospital discharge. Kidney recovery was defined as a return of serum creatinine to ≤150% of baseline without dialysis prior to hospital discharge. RESULTS: Overall AKI occurred in 59...

PURPOSE: Fatigue is a common symptom after critical illness. However, evidence-based interventions for fatigue after critical illness are lacking. We aimed to identify interventions to support self-management of fatigue caused by physical conditions and assess their effectiveness and suitability for adaptation for those with fatigue after critical illness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews. Databases included CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO, British Nursing Index (BNI), Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), JBI Evidence Synthesis Database, and PROSPERO register...

PURPOSE: COVID-19 associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in ICU patients. We investigated the incidence of, risk factors for and potential benefit of a pre-emptive screening strategy for CAPA in ICUs in the Netherlands/Belgium during immunosuppressive COVID-19 treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective, observational, multicentre study was performed from September 2020-April 2021 including patients admitted to the ICU who had undergone diagnostics for CAPA...

BACKGROUND: The optimal approach for transitioning from strict lung protective ventilation to support modes of ventilation when patients determine their own respiratory rate and tidal volume remains unclear. While aggressive liberation from lung protective settings could expedite extubation and prevent harm from prolonged ventilation and sedation, conservative liberation could prevent lung injury from spontaneous breathing. RESEARCH QUESTION: Should physicians take a more aggressive or conservative approach to liberation? METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of mechanically ventilated patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database (MIMIC-IV version 1...

PURPOSE: We developed and validated two parsimonious algorithms to predict the time of diagnosis of any stage of acute kidney injury (any-AKI) or moderate-to-severe AKI in clinically actionable prediction windows. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective single-center cohort of adult ICU admissions, we trained two gradient-boosting models: 1) any-AKI model, predicting the risk of any-AKI at least 6 h before diagnosis (50,342 admissions), and 2) moderate-to-severe AKI model, predicting the risk of moderate-to-severe AKI at least 12 h before diagnosis (39,087 admissions)...

PURPOSE: Blood cultures are commonly ordered for patients with low risk of bacteremia. Indications for obtaining blood cultures are often broad and ill defined, and decision algorithms for appropriate blood cultures have not been comprehensively evaluated in critically-ill populations.

Cerebral oxygenation represents the balance between oxygen delivery, consumption and utilization by the brain, and therefore reflects the adequacy of cerebral perfusion. Different factors can influence the amount of oxygen to the brain including arterial blood pressure, hemoglobin levels, systemic oxygenation, and transfer of oxygen from blood to the cerebral microcirculation. A mismatch between cerebral oxygen supply and demand results in cerebral hypoxia/ischemia, and is associated with secondary brain damage and worsened outcome after acute brain injury...

While mechanical ventilation practices on venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) are variable, most institutions utilize a lung rest strategy utilizing relatively low positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). The effect of PEEP titration using esophageal manometry during VV ECMO on pulmonary and cardiac function is unknown. This was a retrospective study of 69 patients initiated on VV ECMO between March 2020 through November 2021. Patients underwent standard PEEP (typically 10 cm H2 O) or optimal PEEP (PEEP titrated to an end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure 0-3 cm H2 O) throughout the ECMO run...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high respiratory effort(HRE) on spleen, kidney, intestine, and peripheral perfusion in patients with respiratory failure during mechanical ventilation. METHODS: HRE was defined as a pressure muscle index (PMI) > 6 cmH2 O and airway pressure swing during occlusion (ΔPOCC) > 10 cmH2 O. Capillary refill time(CRT) and peripheral perfusion index (PPI) were determined when HRE occurred...
