Background: Group A Streptococcus is responsible for severe and potentially lethal invasive conditions requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission, such as streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (STSS). A rebound of invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infection after COVID-19-associated barrier measures has been observed in children. Several intensivists of French adult ICUs have reported similar bedside impressions without objective data.

Objectives: To assess the effect of an ICU diary on the psychological consequences of an ICU hospitalization.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Assessor-blinded, multicenter, randomized clinical trial in 35 French ICUs from October 2015 to January 2017, with follow-up until July 2017.
Background: Post-intensive care syndrome includes the multiple consequences of an intensive care unit (ICU) stay for patients and families. It has become a new challenge for intensivists. Prevention programs have been disappointing, except for ICU diaries, which report the patient's story in the ICU.

- Septic shock, often complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI), is a major cause of death in critically ill patients, prompting the investigation of high-volume haemofiltration (HVHF) as a potential treatment.
- The study was a clinical trial involving 140 patients with septic shock and AKI, comparing the effects of HVHF and standard-volume haemofiltration (SVHF) on 28-day mortality over a 96-hour period.
- Results showed no significant difference in mortality rates between the HVHF group (37.9%) and the SVHF group (40.8%), leading to the conclusion that HVHF does not improve outcomes in these patients and is not recommended for treatment.
