Three-year mortality of ICU survivors with sepsis, an infection or an inflammatory illness: an individually matched cohort study of ICU patients in the Netherlands from 2007 to 2019.

Background: Sepsis is a frequent reason for ICU admission and a leading cause of death. Its incidence has been increasing over the past decades. While hospital mortality is decreasing, it is recognized that the sequelae of sepsis extend well beyond hospitalization and are associated with a high mortality rate that persists years after hospitalization.

Linking Dutch Intensive Care Registry Data to Socioeconomic Status Scores.

This study aimed to gain insight into the success rate of linking the NICE registry with SES data from CBS and to examine whether the characteristics of linked and non-linked patients differ. Although clinically relevant differences were found, in total 93,4% of the admissions were successfully linked.

Emergency Department Triage, Transfer Times, and Hospital Mortality of Patients Admitted to the ICU: A Retrospective Replication and Continuation Study.

Objectives: This study aimed to provide new insights into the impact of emergency department (ED) to ICU time on hospital mortality, stratifying patients by academic and nonacademic teaching (NACT) hospitals, and considering Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)-IV probability and ED-triage scores.

Design, Setting, And Patients: We conducted a retrospective cohort study (2009-2020) using data from the Dutch National Intensive Care Evaluation registry. Patients directly admitted from the ED to the ICU were included from four academic and eight NACT hospitals.

The contribution of cannabis use to the increased psychosis risk among minority ethnic groups in Europe.

Background: We examined whether cannabis use contributes to the increased risk of psychotic disorder for non-western minorities in Europe.

Methods: We used data from the EU-GEI study (collected at sites in Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands) on 825 first-episode patients and 1026 controls. We estimated the odds ratio (OR) of psychotic disorder for several groups of migrants compared with the local reference population, without and with adjustment for measures of cannabis use.

One-year transplant-free survival following hospital discharge after ICU admission for ACLF in the Netherlands.

Background & Aims: Patients with acute decompensation of cirrhosis or acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) often require intensive care unit (ICU) admission for organ support. Existing research, mostly from specialized liver transplant centers, largely addresses short-term outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate in-hospital mortality and 1-year transplant-free survival after hospital discharge in the Netherlands.
