Objective: To evaluate the intrarater and interrater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale-Spain (CFS-España) and FRAIL-España and the internal consistency of the FRAIL-España when implemented in critically ill patients by intensive care nurses and physicians.
Design: Descriptive, observational and metric study.
Setting: intensive care unit (ICU) of Spain.
A worldwide assessment of the mechanical ventilation in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Analysis of the VENTILAGROUP over time. A retrospective, multicenter study.

December 2024
Background: The trend over time and across different geographical areas of outcomes and management with noninvasive ventilation or invasive mechanical ventilation in patients admitted for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and treated with ventilatory support is unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe outcomes and identify variables associated with survival for patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [aeCOPD] who received noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation worldwide.
Methods: Retrospective, multi-national, and multicenter studies, including four observational cohort studies, were carried out in 1998, 2004, 2010, and 2016 for the VENTILAGROUP following the same methodology.
Objective: To analyze the presence of frailty in survivors of severe COVID-19 admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and followed six months after discharge.
Design: An observational, prospective and multicenter, nation-wide study.
Setting: Eight adult ICU across eight academic acute care hospitals in Mexico.
Aim: To translate and culturally adapt the FRAIL scale into Spanish and perform a preliminary test of diagnostic accuracy in patients admitted to intensive care units.
Design: Cross-sectional diagnostic study.
Methods: Five intensive care units (ICU) in Spain were participated.
Effect of a low versus intermediate tidal volume strategy on pulmonary complications in patients at risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome-a randomized clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare low tidal volume (V) versus intermediate V ventilation strategies in patients at risk for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to see which one better prevents lung complications.
- The trial involved 98 patients who were randomly assigned to either low V (≤ 6 mL/kg) or intermediate V (> 8 mL/kg) settings for invasive ventilation, with the primary focus on ARDS development over the first week.
- Results indicated no significant difference in ARDS incidence, pneumonia, atelectasis, or length of ICU stay between the two groups, leading to the conclusion that a low V strategy does not offer advantages over an intermediate V strategy for these patients.
