Researchers conducted a study to determine whether the lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio is an independent prognostic factor predictive of in-hospital mortality in patients with lower respiratory tract infection.
Researchers conducted a study to compare outcomes among patients who underwent placement of either a midline or peripherally inserted central catheter due to either difficult vascular access or to receive antibiotic therapy.
Researchers conducted a study to assess the safety and efficacy of aminoglycosides or polymyxin monotherapy for the treatment of adults with complicated urinary tract infections caused by extensively drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Investigators conducted a study to assess the incidence and risk factors associated with infective endocarditis in patients with and without active cancer.
Researchers conducted a study that compared mortality outcomes between first-line antibiotic therapy with a -lactam agent vs vancomycin among patients hospitalized with a bloodstream infection.
Researchers conducted a study to assess the outcomes and antimicrobial resistant profiles of patients who received first-line therapy with ampicillin plus gentamicin for the treatment of neonatal sepsis.
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.
