Association of nucleated red blood cells in blood and arterial oxygen partial tension.

Background: Several studies suggest that the detection of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in hospitalized patients indicates an increased risk of mortality. This study evaluates the impact of low arterial oxygen partial tension (pO₂) on NRBC appearance and prognosis in NRBC positive patients.

Methods: NRBCs in blood, arterial blood gases, and other laboratory parameters were monitored daily in 234 surgical intensive care patients.

Re-evaluation of established risk scores by measurement of nucleated red blood cells in blood of surgical intensive care patients.

Background: In adults, the appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) in the peripheral blood is associated with several severe diseases. When NRBC are detected in the blood, the prognosis is poor. The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of NRBC on the clinical outcomes of surgical intensive care patients under consideration of established risk models.

Poor prognosis indicated by nucleated red blood cells in peripheral blood is not associated with organ failure of the liver or kidney.

Background: The appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in peripheral blood is associated with a variety of severe diseases. When NRBCs are detected in blood, this is generally associated with increased mortality.

Methods: In a prospective study, NRBCs and other laboratory parameters were measured daily in the peripheral blood of surgical intensive care patients.

Daily monitoring of nucleated red blood cells in the blood of surgical intensive care patients.

Background: In intensive care patients the appearance of nucleated red blood cells (NRBC) in blood is associated with a variety of severe diseases. Generally, when NRBCs are detected in the patients' blood the prognosis is poor.

Material And Methods: In the present study the detection of NRBCs was used for a day-to-day monitoring of 284 surgical intensive care patients.
