Incidence and Mortality of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Patients With Burns: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively estimate the incidence and mortality of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in overall and subgroups of patients with burns. Pubmed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL databases, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure database were searched until September 1, 2021. Articles that report study data on incidence or mortality of ARDS in patients with burns were selected.

Aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase (De Ritis ratio) predicts survival in major burn patients.

Background: Although treatment of burn patients has significantly improved in recent decades, major burns remain fatal. Therefore, the evaluation of the death risk of the patients with extensive burns is very important. The ratio between the serum levels of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase (De Ritis ratio) was an independent predictor of poor outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke, cardiac surgery, non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.

Comorbidities of scars in China: a national study based on hospitalized cases.

Background: Scar comorbidities seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients, but few studies have reported the exact epidemiological characteristics of scar comorbidities in China. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of scar comorbidities in China.

Methods: The data of 177,586 scar cases between 2013 and 2018 were obtained from the Hospital Quality Monitoring System based on the 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases coding system.

Association of Preadmission Statin Use and Mortality in Critically Ill Patients: A Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies.

A large number of studies have been conducted to determine whether there is an association between preadmission statin use and improvement in outcomes following critical illness, but the conclusions are quite inconsistent. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to include the present relevant PSM researches to examine the association of preadmission use of statins with the mortality of critically ill patients. The PubMed, Web of Science, Embase electronic databases, and printed resources were searched for English articles published before March 6, 2020 on the association between preadmission statin use and mortality in critically ill patients.

[Epidemiological characteristics and outcome analysis of inhalation injury patients combined with burn area less than 30% total body surface area in a single center from 2008 to 2016].

To explore the epidemiological characteristics and treatment outcomes of inhalation injury patients combined with burn area less than 30% total body surface area (TBSA) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University. Retrospective observational study with performed on medical records of 266 inhalation injury patients combined with burn area less than 30% TBSA who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from January 2008 to September 2016 and met the inclusion criteria. The gender, age, injured site, injurious factors of inhalation injury, degree of inhalation injury, combined total burn area, way of tracheotomy, time of tracheotomy, whether conducted mechanical ventilation or not, whether in intensive care unit (ICU) or not, microbial culture results of bronchoalveolar lavage, total hospitalization days, ICU days, mechanical ventilation days, and whether respiratory infections occurred or not.

Risk Factors for Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury.

Background: Until now, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) has been considered the leading cause of blood transfusion-related diseases and death. In addition, there is no clinically effective treatment plan for TRALI. The aim of this study was to systematically summarize the literature on risk factors for TRALI in critical patients.

Admission Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) Predicts Survival in Patients with Extensive Burns.

Background: Extensive burns is one of the most common severe injuries, with a high annual death rate. Previous studies showed that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a prognostic factor for some inflammatory diseases. However, until now, no study has evaluated the clinical prognostic value of NLR in extensively burned patients.

Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: a Multicenter Propensity Matching Analysis with HBV-HCC.

Background: The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. Higher perioperative risks may be anticipated due to underlying steatohepatitis, while long-term outcomes after liver resection are unknown. We sought to investigate outcomes after liver resection for NAFLD-HCC versus hepatitis B virus (HBV)-HCC using propensity score matching (PSM).
