Introduction: Although the survival rates of hematological patients admitted to the ICU are improving, little is known about the long-term outcome. Our objective was to identify factors related to long-term outcome in hematological patients after ICU discharge.
Methods: A prospective, observational study was carried out in seven centers in Spain.
Background: Low back pain (LBP) symptoms and signs are nonspecific. If required, diagnostic blocks may find the source of pain, but indicators of suspect diagnosis must be defined to identify anatomical targets.
Objective: To reach a consensus from an expert panel on the indicators for the most common causes of LBP.
Purpose: To analyze the impact of primary and catheterrelated bloodstream infections (PBSI/CRBSI) on morbidity and mortality.
Methods: A matched case-control study (1:4) was carried out on a Spanish epidemiological database of critically ill patients (ENVIN-HELICS). To determine the risk of death in patients with PBSI/CRBSI a matched Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was performed.
Objective: To describe trends in national catheter-related urinary tract infection (CRUTI) rates, as well as etiologies and multiresistance markers.
Design: An observational, prospective, multicenter voluntary participation study was conducted from 1 April to 30 June in the period between 2005 and 2010.
Setting: Intensive Care Units (ICUs) that participated in the ENVIN-ICU registry during the study period.
Background: There is a vast amount of information published regarding the impact of 2009 pandemic Influenza A (pH1N1) virus infection. However, a comparison of risk factors and outcome during the 2010-2011 post-pandemic period has not been described.
Methods: A prospective, observational, multi-center study was carried out to evaluate the clinical characteristics and demographics of patients with positive RT-PCR for H1N1 admitted to 148 Spanish intensive care units (ICUs).
