Background: It was recently proposed to distinguish early from late sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). We aimed to determine the relative frequency of these entities in critically ill patients and to describe their characteristics and outcomes.
Methods: We included in this retrospective cohort study all adult patients admitted for sepsis in a tertiary ICU between 2010 and 2020.
Background: Dysfunctional breathing is increasingly recognised after SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the associated symptoms, functional impact and quality of life have not been systematically studied.
Methods: This study describes a prospective case series of 48 patients with dysfunctional breathing based on compatible symptoms and an abnormal breathing pattern during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Patients with underlying disease that could explain these symptoms were excluded.
Background: The relevance of current consensus threshold to define oliguria has been challenged by small observational studies. We aimed to determine the optimal threshold to define oliguria in critically-ill patients.
Methods: Cohort study including adult patients admitted within a multi-disciplinary intensive care unit between January 1st 2010 and June 15th 2020.
