Investigators sought to identify factors associated with septic shock development and 30-day mortality in patients admitted to an intensive care unit for treatment of candidemia.
Investigators conducted a study to determine whether empiric antibiotic therapy with adjunctive gentamicin improves outcomes in patients with septic shock admitted to the intensive care unit.
Researchers conducted a study to determine the accuracy of a novel 29-messenger RNA blood-based host-response assay for identifying bacterial and viral infections in patients admitted to the emergency department.
Investigators from the FABLED study report on the relationship between mortality and blood culture positivity in patients presenting to the emergency department with sepsis.
Investigators evaluated the relationship between positive fluid balance among non-critically ill patients with sepsis and risk for hospital readmission.
Sepsis and septic shock are common oncologic emergencies that require vigilant, timely diagnosis and intervention. Timely and effective detection and treatment of these conditions are key to patient survival.
The researchers’ objective was to determine whether machine learning-derived estimated individual corticosteroid therapy effect yields better results than treat all or treat no one strategies in adult patients with septic shock.
Light sedation with dexmedetomidine does not lead to more days alive without acute brain dysfunction compared with propofol in mechanically ventilated adults with sepsis.
Danish researchers looked into whether hospital-diagnosed and community-treated infections are important risk factors for GBS by examining the magnitude and duration of associated GBS risk.
Study authors sought to determine whether hospital outcomes in childhood severe sepsis were influenced by race, ethnicity, or insurance status, which are proxies for socioeconomic positions.
For light sedation of mechanically ventilated adults with sepsis, outcomes do not differ significantly for those receiving dexmedetomidine or propofol.
Investigators assessed whether a daily service of infectious disease consultation was more effective than weekly consultation to reduce antibiotic use without worsening clinical outcomes.
Study authors explored the clinical features and outcomes of mixed Candida albicans/bacterial bloodstream infections compared with monomicrobial Candida albicans bloodstream infections in adult patients.
