In the analysis of adult population, a total of 262 patients were admitted to ICUs and received mechanical ventilation during the study period. The mean age of those patients was 57 (SD 21) years, and the majority were male (64%). Of 262 patients, 98 patients died after receiving mechanical ventilation. Thus, the overall mortality for patients admitted to ICUs and receiving mechanical ventilation during the study period was 37%, with a median survival time in the ICU of 11 days (IQR 6-20 days). Because the average duration of mechanical ventilation was 11 days, the analysis was restricted to within 30 days of receiving mechanical ventilation. The mortality rate was 27.3 per 1000-person years (95% CI 22.4 to 33.2). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for 30-day ICU mortality is shown in Figure 2. At the end of 30 days after receiving the mechanical ventilation, the overall survival rate was 82% after the fifth day and 75% after the tenth day of receiving the mechanical ventilation.

Among the 30 patients analyzed in the present study, 60% and 73.3% showed positive results of albumin and blood on dipstick tests; 50% of patients showed a random urine ACR or PCR more than 100 mg/g Cr. Moreover, 26.7% of patients showed AKI, and the mean and median durations from symptom onset were 18 and 16 days, respectively. Old age was a predictor of the occurrence of AKI even after adjustment for comorbidities and the application of a mechanical ventilator. Mechanical ventilator, CRRT, and ECMO therapies were applied to 12 (40%), 3 (10%), and 5 (16.7%) patients, respectively. A total of 5 patients died of septic shock progression and multiple organ failure. Diabetes, the occurrence of AKI, and the application of CRRT were risk factors predicting mortality in the univariate analysis. DISCUSSION

The primary outcome, weaning duration, defined from the first day of randomization to the day the patient was successfully weaned, was shorter with trach collar than with pressure support: 15 versus 19 days. Patients were considered weaning successes when they breathed without ventilator assistance for at least 5 days. A Cox proportional hazards model revealed that the rate of successful weaning was 1.43 times faster with trach collar than with pressure support. Mortality was equivalent in the two arms, but, of course, the study was not powered to detect a difference in mortality. Of the entire 500 randomized and non-randomized patients, 54 % were alive at 6 months after enrollment and 45 % were alive at 12 months. This survival rate is surprisingly high. To put the numbers in perspective, 1-year survival in older (66 years) patients ventilated in an ICU was approximately 40 % [64, 65] . That is, the LTACH patients in the study of Jubran et al., who were ventilated for 67 days, had a 1-year mortality comparable to ICU patients who were ventilated for 9 days. Indeed, 72 % of the 260 patients who had been weaned by discharge were alive at 12 months.

In this analysis, a total of 175 patients were admitted to ICUs and received mechanical ventilation during the study period. Most of the patients were below 1 month (89% of the whole population) and 59% were boys. A total of 30 (17%) of this study population died after the date of mechanical ventilation with a median survival time of 16 days (IQR 7-37 days). The mortality rate was 9.9 per 1000-person years (95%, CI 6.96 to 14.25). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves for 30-day ICU mortality as shown in Figure 3. The curve shows that by the end of one month, 75% of patients on mechanical ventilation are still alive. The characteristic of the population as demonstrated in Table 3. The main source of the admission of those neonates was labor and delivery by C-section, with the mean gestational week being 32 (SD 5) weeks. Prematurity with respiratory problems (50%) was the main recorded cause of the initiation of mechanical ventilation, followed by respiratory distress syndrome (37%). The majority of admissions to ICUs were premature. Neonates who received mechanical ventilation within the first month of their life and who were born extremely preterm had a high mortality rate after the initiation of mechanical ventilation. A total of 169 (96%) of the neonates were intubated in ICU while only 3% had already been intubated before their ICU admission. Variables related to mechanical ventilation parameters on day one of mechanical ventilation are presented in Table 3. For the results of the univariate analysis of factors associated with mortality among this population, Table 4 shows that neonates who received mechanical ventilation within the first month of life and who were born extremely preterm had a high mortality rate after the initiation of mechanical ventilation. In addition, those neonates who had respiratory distress syndrome as the cause of initiating the mechanical ventilation had a high rate of mortality; however, the univariate analysis showed no significant association. Neonates who had congenital anomalies as the cause of receiving mechanical ventilation were more likely to have a lower survival rate (OR 13, 95% CI 2.68-62.8).

The median time from illness onset (ie, before admission) to discharge was 22·0 days (IQR 18·0-25·0), whereas the median time to death was 18·5 days (15·0-22·0; table 2). 32 patients required invasive mechanical ventilation, of whom 31 (97%) died. The median time from illness onset to invasive mechanical ventilation was 14·5 days (12·0-19·0). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in three patients, none of whom survived. Sepsis was the most frequently observed complication, followed by respiratory failure, ARDS, heart failure, and septic shock (table 2). Half of non-survivors experienced a secondary infection, and ventilator-associated pneumonia occurred in ten (31%) of 32 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. The frequency of complications were higher in non-survivors than survivors (table 2) . In univariable analysis, odds of in-hospital death was higher in patients with diabetes or coronary heart disease (table 3) . Age, lymphopenia, leucocytosis, and elevated ALT, lactate dehydrogenase, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase, d-dimer, serum ferritin, IL-6, prothrombin time, creatinine, and procalcitonin were also associated with death (table 3) .

Methods: Retrospectively collected data on patients admitted to the ICU between January 2013 and December 2014 were reviewed. Patients admitted to the ICU, aged > = 18 years, mechanically ventilated for > = 48 hours and with the final diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness were selected. Predictive factors of ICU-AW were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: From the 177 patients included, 20,3% developed ICU-AW. The mean age was 57,3 years and 58,3% were female. The median time of mechanical ventilation was 343,5 hours. 55,6% of patients had solid tumors and 44,4% had hematological malignancies. Glucocorticoids and neuromuscular blocking agents were administered in 88,9% and 38,9% of patients, respectively. Septic shock developed in 72,2% of patients and was found to be a predictive factor for developing ICU-AW (OR 4,15, pvalue 0,018). 66,7% of patients started or continued physical rehabilitation during the hospital length of stay approximately 12 days after admission in the ICU. 44,4% of patients with ICU-AW died 37 days after admission in the ICU. 8 patients (22,2%) with ICU-AW were re-evaluated by physical and rehabilitation medicine 144 days after hospital discharge. Significant improvement was noted in their physical status while in the program of physical therapy. Conclusions: ICU-AW is a relatively frequent problem and septic shock was found to be a predictive factor for the development of this entity. Early mobilization is an important intervention to decrease the weakness and physical deconditioning in the critically ill patients. P412

Results: Fifteen (65,2%) out of 23 pts were male with a median age of 55 years (range: 28-69). Patients' baseline diseases were: multiple myeloma (34,8%), non-Hodgkin´s Lymphoma (26,1%), Hodgkin´s Lymphoma (8,7%), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (8,7%), myelodisplasic syndrome (8,7%), solid tumor (8,7) and acute myeloblastic leukemia (4,3%). Fifteen (65,2%) pts received auto-HSCT, 5 (21,7%) allo-HSCT from unrelated donor, 2 (8,7%) allo-HSCT from identical sibling, and the remainder haploidentical HSCT (1) (4,3%). So, 6,6% of auto-HSCT pts and 8% of allo-HSCT were admitted in the ICU. The median stay in the ICU was 5 days (range: 1-30) and reasons for admission were: respiratory insufficiency (60,8%), septic shock (30,4%), renal insufficiency (4,3%) and multi-organic failure (4,3%). Twenty-one (91.3%) pts required respiratory support with: nasal cannula or oxygen mask (C/M) (19%), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) (66,7%) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) (14,3%). Fourteen (60%) pts needed inotropic agents for shock treatment. Finally, 4 (4,5%) pts required substitutive renal therapy with hemodialysis or haemofiltration (HD/HF). Eleven (47,8%) out of 23 pts died, 7 (63,6%) were male with a median age of 55 years (range: 24-64). Ten of them (90,9%) needed IMV and were treated with inotropic agents. All patients who required HD/HF (n=4) died. IMV and treatment with inotropic agents were associated with ICU mortality (OR 6,5; p=0,03, OR 7; p=0,008; respectively). P186

A total of 463 patients were admitted to the MICU during the study period. Among them, 234 patients were admitted to the MICU before its relocation, and the other 229 were admitted afterward. Patients were predominantly male (65%), with a median age of 66 years (IQR, 58 to 74 years) and a median APACHE II score of 28 (IQR, 19 to 36). Among the 463 patients, 108 (23.3%) were diagnosed with sepsis, and 155 (33.5%) were diagnosed with pneumonia. The prevalence of sepsis increased significantly after the MICU relocation (18.8% to 28.0%, P=0.020). The most common underlying comorbidity was hematologic malignancy (21.8%), followed by solid organ malignancy (19.7%), diabetes mellitus (13.4%), heart failure (10.8%), end-stage renal disease (9.7%), liver cirrhosis (6.1%), solid organ transplant (5.6%), and bronchiectasis (3.5%). The proportion of patients who were transferred from other ICUs was 18.8%, which did not differ before and after the relocation (P=0.333). Antacids were administered to 87.7% of patients. Mechanical ventilation was administered to 67.8% of patients for a median of 4 days (IQR, 2 to 9 days), and ventilator dependency (ventilator use ≥21 days) was observed in 43 of 483 patients (8.9%), which did not differ before and after the MICU relocation (5.1% vs. 4.8%, P=0.872). Steroids were administered to 54.2% of patients for a median of 4 days (IQR, 2 to 8 days). These baseline characteristics did not differ between the before and after MICU relocation groups. A total of 530.5 respiratory samples (95% CI, 488.2 to 572.8) were used to perform microbiological analyses per 1,000 patient-days before the relocation, and 513.5 samples (95% CI, 468.6 to 558.5) were used per 1,000 patientdays after the relocation, and that difference was not statistically significant (P=0.558) (Table 1).

Methods A prospective study was done on a 24-bed mixed ICU over a period of 18 months. Eighty-three patients ≥18 years were included in the study. All patients were dependent on mechanical ventilation and met the CCM criteria for sepsis upon admission to the ICU. APACHE II score, SOFA score, weight, BMI and nutritional status were calculated. Patients were initiated for enteral feeding based on the established feeding protocol within 48 hours of admission. The feeding status of the patient was recorded on the start day (D0), day 3 (D3) and day 7 (D7). Factors aff ecting the feeding process and its progression were also recorded Results The patient mean age was 71.4 ± 12.2. LOS in the ICU was 9 to 21 days. Based on BMI, 18% of the patients were malnourished upon admission. APACHE II was 26 ± 7.8 and SOFA was 9.2 ± 4.6. The mortality rate was 42.5%. Enteral nutrition started early in 64 (77.1%) of the patients (D0), on day 3 (D3) 29 (45.31%) patients met their caloric goals and on day 7 (D7) only 18 (28.1%) patients achieved their caloric goals. Discontinuation of enteral feeding was mainly due to procedures, whereas late start and/or decreased hourly intake were due to GI complications, GI intolerance, excessive diarrhoea and hemodynamic instability. There was no association between compliance with the feeding protocol and the LOS, nutritional status, severity or disease progression. P423

The median age was 3.5 months, (range 0.07–23.96 months), 60% were male, 12% had UMCs and 14% were premature (<37 weeks gestation) (table 1). Of the 375 subjects with UMCs, heart disease was the most common, 146/357 (39%). Nearly 90% of the children’s parents self-identified as Jordanian, and 7% reported Palestinian as their nationality. Primary and secondary education was the highest attainment in 41% and 44% of the mothers, respectively. The median birth weight was 3.0 kg, and 28% were born by caesarean section. The median number of siblings was 2, 1.6% attended daycare and 77% were exposed to smoke (73% and 18% to cigarette and hookah, respectively).

The analysis includes data from medical records of all patients admitted to ICUs who received mechanical ventilation between 2016-2018. For each patient, potential risk factors were collected. The main outcome of this study was the mortality during the stay in ICU after receiving mechanical ventilation Results: A total of 262 adults and 175 pediatric patients were admitted to ICUs and received mechanical ventilation during the study period. For adult patients, the overall mortality was 37%, with a median survival time of 11 days (interquartile range [IQR] 6-20 days). The main risk factors independently associated with the increased mortality rate were being aged 51-60 (odds ratio [OR] 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 6.7-1.0) and factors related to ICU admission. For the pediatric population, the mortality rate was 17%, with a median survival time of 16 days (IQR 7-37 days) Abstract

Results: Of the 65 case subjects, the median age was 41 (interquartile range [IQR], 28-57) years, 60.0% were men, and 55.4% had at least one underlying medical condition. Sixty-two patients started oseltamivir therapy within a median of 5 (IQR, 4-6) days from the onset of illness, and 31 received IV corticosteroids. ARDS developed in 33 patients, and 24 were treated initially with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). In this group, NPPV was successful in 13 patients (54.2%). Nine patients died at a median of 16 (IQR, 10-24) days after onset of illness. Multivariate Cox regression identifi ed two independent risk factors for death: progressive dyspnea after resolution of fever (relative risk, 5.852; 95% CI, 1.395-24.541; P 5 .016) and a higher APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) II score on presentation (relative risk for each point, 1.312; 95% CI, 1.140-1.511; P , .001). At 3-month follow-up of survivors with A(H1N1), ground-glass opacities were still present, although diminished, in 85.7%, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide was mildly reduced in 61.5%.

Results: 20 allograft patients were included. 14 were male, with a median age 47 years (range 23-68 years). 6 were female, with median age 61 years (range 51-67 years). Diagnosis N (%) includes ALL 3 (15%), AML 7 (35%), aCML 1 (5%), CMML 3 (15%), HL 1 (5%), MDS 2 (10%), MDS/MPN 1 (5%), FL 1 (5%), SCD 1 (5%). Sixteen (80%) patients received their first transplant, 4 (20%) received second transplant. Eight (40%) patients had sibling donor, 12 patients (60%) had unrelated donor. Sixteen (80%) patients had 10/10 matched donor, 2 (10%) patients had 9/ 10 matched donor, 2 (10%) patients had 8/10 matched donor. Nineteen (95%) received Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC), one (5%) received Myeloablative (MA) conditioning. Majority of RIC allo-HSCT patients were conditioned with Fludarabine, Mephalan, Campath (FMC). A small number were conditioned with busulfan, fludarabine and ATG. The MA allo-HSCT patient was conditioned with TBI, cyclophosphamide. GvHD prophylaxis was ciclosporin alone starting on day -1 with a target level of 150-250 ug/L for all RIC and ciclosporin and methotrexate for the MA patients. Two (10%) allograft patients were admitted to ICU on three occasions. Both patients were male, 58 and 68 years old. One had MMUD allograft for MDS/MPN. The other had 2 nd MUD allograft for relapsed AML. The reasons for ICU admission include sepsis, cardiac arrest and respiratory failure. The median duration of ICU admission was 5 days (range 2-9). There were 2 deaths within 100 days of transplant. One patient died on day +11 during his second ICU admission with multi organ failure (MOF). One patient died after ICU discharge on day +23 with relapsed disease, bronchopneumonia with disseminated fungal infection. ICU mortality rate was 50%, and 100-day mortality rate was 10%. P211

The results of this study showed that the mortality rate of adult patients who required mechanical ventilation was 37% and that of the pediatric population was 17%. Elderly patients and those with circulatory system disease and infection as admission cause to ICU have higher mortality rate after the initiation of mechanical ventilation. Similarly, the gestational age and cause of intubation were associated with a higher mortality rate among neonates. Discussion

At baseline, 79 (82%) of participants required oxygen, 56 (58%) were in the ICU, and 41 (43%) were on mechanical ventilation. Adults had a median APACHE II score of 13, reflecting an anticipated 15% mortality,[7] whereas children had a median PRISM III score of 3 reflecting an anticipated 2% mortality.[8] The participants randomized to receive standard care had slightly more severe illness at baseline compared to those randomized to plasma (oxygen requirement in 43 participants (88%) vs. 36 (77%) and mechanical ventilation in 24 participants (49%) vs. 17 (36%)). Thirty five (57%) participants had multi-lobar infiltrates on chest X-ray and was similar in both arms, and 31 (51%) had pleural effusions which were more common in the standard care arm (59% (19) vs 41% (12)). The protocol did not mandate any evaluation of the pleural effusions, though no empyema’s were reported. Loss to follow up for completion of the study (Day 28) was higher in the participants that received standard care (22% (N=10) vs. 10% (4)), though follow up through the primary endpoint (or Day 28 if not reaching endpoint, or death) was similar (82% (37) vs. 86% (36)).

The results for a total of five consecutive patients with severe ARDS with confirmed HAdV-55 infection were included. All five patients were immunocompetent young men with a median age of 32 years. The mean time from onset to dyspnea was 5 days. Arterial blood gas analysis at ICU admission revealed profound hypoxia. Mean partial oxygen pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen was 58.1. Mean durations from onset to a single-lobe consolidation shown on chest X-rays (CXRs) and, from the first positive CXR to bilateral multilobar lung infiltrates, were 2 days and 4.8 days, respectively. The viral load was higher than 1 × 10 8 copies in three patients and was 1 × 10 4 in one patient. It was negative in the only patient who survived. The mean duration for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) failure and IMV failure were 30.8 hours and 6.2 days, respectively. Four patients received venovenous ECMO. Four (80%) of the five patients died despite receiving appropriate respiratory support. Abstract

Results: We included 50 patients (34 male) with a median age of 52. The majority (27) were immunosuppressed: 21 patients had human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with CD4 count less than 350/mm3, 3 had hematological neoplasia under chemotherapy, 2 were under immunosuppressant drugs, and 2 had solid neoplasia under chemotherapy. The median APACHE II score was 19 and SAPSII score was 43. Eight patients had a “do not intubate” status due to their comorbidities. The most frequent reason to perform NIV was bacterial pneumonia (44 %) followed by pneumocystosis (30 %), ARDS (16 %), flu (6 %) and tuberculosis (2 %). Median time of NIV was 3,5 days. We had a NIV success rate of 60 % (14 patients were intubated, 5 did not have intubation indication and 1 patient died from another cause). The mortality rate was 28 %. We found statistically significant association between the severity scores SAPSII and APACHE and the NIV result and death (higher scores were associated with failure of NIV and death). We also found that patients with hematological neoplasia under chemotherapy had higher rates of failure of NIV and death. HIV infection was associated with death but not with NIV failure.

A total of 306 SARI patients were admitted and enrolled by the two surveillance sites between week 40, 2010 and week 39, 2014; 48 did not meet the case definition and were excluded from further analyses leaving a total of 258 patients included in this analysis. Median age at admission was 63 years (range, 19-97 years) and 121 (47%) were women. One hundred thirty-one (51%) were white, non-Hispanic and 101 (39%) were Hispanic. The median time from symptom onset to hospital admission was four days (interquartile range (IQR); 2-6 days), the median duration of hospital stay was five days (IQR, 3-9 days); 96 (37%) patients were admitted to the ICU (Table 1) . Results Characteristics of all SARI patients, and by status (alive/dead) Three patients were co-infected; one with coronavirus HKU1/rhinovirus, one with coronavirus HKU1/human metapneumovirus and one with coronavirus 229E/rhinovirus deaths occurring outside the hospital; when limited to persons ≥ 65 years the increase was 47%. Age ≥ 65 years and admission to the ICU were significantly associated with mortality.

One thousand fifty-one patients had the get-upand-go test done, and 441 patients (41.9%) failed. Six hundred seventy-six patients had the mini-mental status examination done, and 311 patients (46%) failed. Table 2 compares selected features of those who survived pneumonia vs those who died. There are a number of instructive observations. Not unexpectedly, there were major differences in mean age, mean pneumonia severity risk score, and mean length of stay between the two groups. Also, the effect of functional status at the time of admission on subsequent mortality was striking. Thus, 4.0%, 11.6%, 20.1%, and 25.2% of those who were walking, walking with assistance, wheelchair, and bedridden, respectively, died. The mean ages for patients in each of these groups were 63.8, 80.0, 73.3, and 74.4 years, respectively. The mean pneumonia severity risk scores for patients in the four functional status categories were 90.6, 117.3, 113.7, and 117.6, respectively. Ten of the 610 patients (1.6%) who passed the get-up-and-go test died, compared with 62 of the 441 patients (14.0%) who failed this test. The group that passed this test was younger (77.3 years vs 81.6 years), had a lower mean risk score (102.2 vs 121.8), and a lower percentage of patients in risk classes IV and V (73% vs 86%). There were major differences in mortality according to the site of hospitalization, with mortality rates ranging from 5.9 to 13.3%. As shown in the multivariate analysis, site of care remained a significant predictor for mortality after simultaneously adjusting for other factors.

For the entire period of recorded human history, the world has never been globally as aged as today. It is therefore not surprising that the proportion of elderly patients admitted to the ICU is increasing, even in circulatory shock. The usefulness of ICU admission in the aged population is a hot topic worldwide. Mortality rates are known to increase with age, but the impact of age on outcomes after circulatory shock has not been well defined. Biston et al. [7] explored this topic, performing a secondary analysis of data from a large randomized trial that compared the effects of dopamine and norepinephrine on outcome in the ICU. Mortality rates were higher in elderly (75–84 years) and very elderly (≥85 years) patients at 28 days, at hospital discharge and after 6 and 12 months of follow-up. Most very elderly patients were dead at 6 (92 %) and 12 months (97 %). Mortality rates increased with age in all types of shock. Using multivariable analysis, the risk of death was higher in very elderly patients as compared to patients aged <75 years. In this analysis, ageing is independently associated with higher mortality rates in patients with circulatory failure, whatever the etiology. By 1 year after admission, most patients aged >85 years had died. Cardiac dysfunction in the intensive care unit Outcome of elderly patients with circulatory failure

The mean age of the study participants was 60.3 ± 15.3 years and 213 (66.1%) of the participants were male. The reasons for admission were cardiovascular disease (203, 63.0%), lung disease (49, 15.2%), malignancy (35, 10.9%) and others (35, 10.9%). One hundred and thirty seven (42.5%) patients had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation within 24 h prior to ECMO initiation. After the median (IQR) 2 (0–10) days of admission, the patients received ECMO insertion because of cardiotomy (31, 9.6%), non-operative cardiovascular causes (185, 57.5%), adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (43, 13.4%), non-ARDS lung causes (44, 13.7%) and other causes (19, 5.9%). Two hundred and thirty (71.4%) and 92 (28.6%) patients received VA and VV ECMO support, respectively. One hundred and six (32.9%) patients were undergoing IABP on the date of ECMO insertion. The median (IQR) duration from ECMO initiation to death or discharge was 21 (8–40) days. The incidence of AKI comprising all KDIGO grades was 82.3%. In-hospital mortality was 51.6%. The median (IQR) durations for AKI and in-hospital mortality were 2 (1–7) days and 9 (4–23) days, respectively. Results

A total of 126 sepsis patients were consecutively enrolled: 71 survivors and 55 non-survivors (43.7%) who died within 6.6 ± 5.7 days after MICU admission. Mean age of each group was over 70 years. Male was predominant in the non-survivor group and as risk factor for mortality. Sepsis diagnosis at MICU admission showed no correlation with mortality. APACHE II score was significantly higher among non-survivors. Principal suspected infection source was the respiratory tract, followed by urogenital tract, most infection caused by gram negative bacteria. Six patients with intra-abdominal infection all died within twenty-eight days after admission (Table 2). 3.1. Characteristics of Study Subjects ::: 3.

For all-cause mortality, 30/258 (12%, 95% CI 8–15%) patients died within 30 days of hospital admission [23/30 died in-hospital (77%)]. Among patients ≥ 65 years, 22/135 (16%, 95% CI 11–24%) died within 30 days of hospital admission [15/22 died in-hospital (68%)]. Among those who died, the median age at admission was 72 years (range: 35–88 years), the median duration of hospital stay was 6 days (range: 0–28 days), and the median time from symptom onset to death was 12 days (range: 4–32 days). Twenty-two of thirty (73%, 95% CI 58–89%) patients that died were admitted to the ICU [20/22 died in-hospital (90%)] and 27/30 (90%) patients had at least one underlying disease. An influenza virus was detected among 4/30 (13%) patients who died. All-cause mortality by influenza season was similar, with 5/36 deaths (14%) in the 2010–2011 season, 3/23 (13%) in 2011–2012, 6/44 (14%) in 2012–2013 and 16/125 (13%) in 2013–2014.

In the period of the study, 1789 patients were admitted to the ICU and 13 PGWH patients were included. There were 10 male patients (77 %) and 3 female (23 %), with a mean age of 30 years (range 14-64). There were no self-inflicted lesions (all PGWH were results of aggression). Glasgow Coma Scale at admission was 8 or less in 10 patients. On admission, 7 patients were anisocoric, 8 presenting shock, 5 had associated body lesions from another gunshot wound (such as limbs or in the thorax). Mean SAPS 3 was 67 (range 35-94) and mean Apache II, 26 (range 8-37). The CT scan findings were: midline shift in 8 patients, 7 single lobe haemorrhages (such as frontal or parietal lobe), and 6 patients with bleeding in more than one lobe. Six patients had subarachnoid and 3 had intraventricular hemorrhage. Early surgical procedure was made to 10 patients (mainly decompressive craniectomy). The mean hospital length of stay was 21 days (range 2 to 136 days). Six patients had wound infection, and three, infection in other sites. The mortality rate for the entire group was 54 % (7 out 13). 4 patients progressed to brain death. Of the six patients discharged from the hospital, four had good outcome (defined as modified Rankin scores of 0-3), and two, bad outcome (modified Rankin of 4). Results

Methods Six months after ICU discharge, survivors went to a follow-up consultation and the QOL-SP was applied. The QOL-SP comprises 15 items grouped in three subscales, which evaluate Basic Physiologic Activities (BPA), Normal Daily Activities (NDA) and Emotional State (ES), and enables the calculation of a global index (QOL-SP Index). Patients from the sepsis group were compared with those from the control group concerning background variables (age, sex, gender, previous health state), ICU variables (reason for admission, APACHE II score and length of ICU stay) and QOL-SP variables. Patients younger than 18 years old and those with an ICU stay ≤ 1 day were excluded. Patients exhibiting nonsevere sepsis at or after ICU admission, and those with severe sepsis/septic shock after ICU admission were also excluded. Introduction

Eleven patients obtained good neurologic outcome (moderate disabilities and good recovery; 73.3%), no patient died during BHT, and 1 patient died on the 12th hospital day. This outcome rate (73.3%) was statistically the same as the previous rate (70.6%) in the prospective study between 1996 and 2000. Patients

In conclusion, for the patients confirmed with EVD, the survival rate was 51.23 %. Some surviving patients did not become blood EBOV negative until 4 weeks after admission or later. Most non-surviving patients died within 1 week after admission. Patients under the age of 6 years and those with high viral load had a higher fatality rate. Patients who presented confusion, vomiting, abdominal pain, and conjunctivitis at the time of admission were at higher risk of death. Such patients should be the priority of medical attention and should be put under intensive treatment, particularly during the first week of hospitalization. Conclusions

The Kaplan-Meier survival plots are shown in Figure 2 . Survival up to 5 years since ICU admission was 54.9% (95% CI: 50.2%, 60.1%). Survival at 28 days from ICU admission was 67.2% (95% CI: 62.9%, 71.9%); among those surviving to hospital discharge, 84.5% (79.8%, 89.4%) were alive 5 years post-hospital discharge. Median follow-up time from ICU admission was 449 days (IQR: 13, 1138). Most deaths occurred within 28 days of ICU admission with very few additional deaths occurring post-hospital discharge in our follow-up period. Primary outcome 60% when compared to the group not receiving a rescue therapy (median (IQR): 8 days (4, 17) versus 5 days (3, 8); p<.01).

Sociodemographic as well as disease-and treatmentrelated characteristics of study participants who returned the self-report questionnaire at 1 year after discharge from ICU are displayed in Table 1 . Two-thirds of persons were male. Median age at admission to ICU was 56 years (IQR 47-65). The vast majority had a moderate (46%) or severe form (43%) of ARDS (according to the classification provided by the Berlin definition [16] ).

All patients were male, with a mean age of 74 ± 12 (55-89). 3 patients died. The most common diagnosis was community acquired pneumonia (50 %), and second was acute on chronic cardiac failure (25 %). At admission they were all classified in the very high risk group. Also, the 8 patients had one or more mayor chronic criteria. The most frequent risk factors were hypertension history or hypotension at admission (75 % respectively), age and sepsis (62.5 % respectively). All patients had early elevation of serum creatinine (sCr) of at least 0.1 mg/dl. Average days between admission to the ICU and beginning of CRRT was 3. Results

Although the incidence rate of ED visit increased from 2007 through 2014, the rate of hospitalization declined, from 63.4% in 2007 to 38.2% in 2014. Peculiarly, the hospitalization rate was markedly lower in 2009, at 22.5%. The yearly ICU admission rate declined over the study period, from 1.9% in 2007 to 0.9% in 2014 (Table 2). 1.

There were 29 patients (16 boys and 13 girls) who met the criteria for ALTE (Table 1). The median patient age was 39.0 days (range, 3-220 days), with a peak incidence of age younger than 1 month (48.3%) and 69.0% of patients younger than 2 months (Fig. 1). Twelve patients (41.4%) were preterm infants, and 8 (27.6%) were low birth weight infants. Among 12 preterm infants, the median gestational age was 35.5 weeks (range, 27.5-36.3 weeks), and 2 patients were diagnosed as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and 2 patients were diagnosed as apnea of prematurity. Fifteen infants (51.7%) were firstborn. The median maternal age was 31.0 yr (range, 25-42 yr) and no mother presented with a history of smoking. There was no history of SIDS or ALTE in their siblings. Demographic characteristics of the patients ::: RESULTS

Results: Incidence of AKI between 2009 and 2015 was 2.99 % in 8033 patient episodes. All factors other than gender were noticeably associated with AKI. Rate of AKI was 2.7 % in elective cases compared to 10.5 % in urgent cases. Revision surgery was associated with an increased rate of AKI when compared to primary surgery. AKI increased with age and the rate of AKI in patients over the age of 80 was 9.9 %. Development of AKI progressively increased from 0.88 % in ASA 1 to 13.3 % in ASA 4 patients. Pre-operative anaemia and blood transfusion increased the risk of AKI from 2 % to 4.6 % and 2.2 % to 8.9 % respectively. All patients who developed AKI had post-operative anaemia. AKI affected 6.9 % of those patients who were admitted to the HDU while patients not admitted to HDU demonstrated a rate of AKI of 1.7 %. Patients with AKI had a mean LOS of 28.6 days compared to 9.4 days in those without AKI. Patients with no AKI had a mortality of 1.8 % at one year compared with 5.8 %, 6.5 % and 7.7 % in patients with Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 AKI respectively.

Results: The median age of patients was 5 days, median gestational age was 38.5 weeks (range 34 to 41 weeks), and median weight loss since birth was 8%. Overall, 70% of patients were exclusively breast fed; 5% were exclusively formula fed. The median TSB for admission was 20 mg/dL (range 12 to 26 mg/dL); 8% of patients had a TSB of 25 mg/dL or greater. ABO blood group incompatibility was present in 16% of patients, more than half of whom had a positive direct antiglobulin test. Rh incompatibility was noted in 9% of patients; all patients were direct antiglobulin test negative. All patients received phototherapy; 73% of patients received intravenous fluid; 68% of patients received intensive lactation consultation; 15% of patients required inpatient admission for continued medical care beyond 24 hours. Hypernatremia at 150 meq/L or greater was associated with need for inpatient admission (odds ratio 1.8; 95% confidence interval 1.0 to 3.2; P<.001). Age, gestational age, TSB, percentage of weight loss, and feeding method were not associated with need for inpatient admission. The median discharge TSB was 15. Patients and TSB were followed up after discharge. There were no adverse outcomes. Emergency Department Observation Unit: A Novel Alternative to Inpatient Admission
