Early onset delirium incidence and risk factors in hematology oncology patients admitted to the intensive care unit: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Delirium occurs frequently in intensive care unit (ICU) patients; however, there are limited data evaluating its impact on critically ill hematology-oncology patients. We aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors for early-onset delirium development in hematology-oncology patients admitted to the ICU.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective cohort study evaluated the primary outcome of incident delirium within 7 days of ICU admission in adults admitted to the hematology-oncology medical or surgical ICU.

Comparison of intravenous and oral definitive antibiotic regimens in hospitalised patients with Gram-negative bacteraemia from a urinary tract infection.

Objectives: Transitioning patients from intravenous (IV) to oral antibiotic therapy has been shown to be a successful approach for several infections. However, minimal data exist evaluating outcomes following transition from to oral antibiotics for patients with bacteraemia secondary to a urinary tract infection (UTI). This study compared treatment failures between patients treated exclusively with IV antibiotics and those transitioned from IV to oral antibiotics for bacteraemia secondary to UTI.
