Frailty is a better predictor than age for shockable rhythm and survival in Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest in over 16-year-olds.

Objective: To determine if the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) predicts out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes better than age?Design: The analysed data was collected as part of a larger study run by NCEPOD on hospital admissions for OHCA in 2018. Study selection was OHCA in over 16-year-olds with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) for >20 mins and who were admitted to hospital, or who died in the emergency department. Patients from hospitals in England, Wales and Northern Ireland were identified using standard coding for cardiac arrest.

Trends in Long-Term Ventilation Care in U.K. Children and Young People-Further Consideration Required for Pediatric Critical Care Services.

Objectives: The objective was to compare specific data from the 2020 National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) report "Balancing the Pressures" with two previous U.K. studies and to examine changes in the pediatric population requiring long-term ventilation (LTV) as well as the types delivered.

Physics-informed compressed sensing for PC-MRI: an inverse Navier-Stokes problem.

We formulate a physics-informed compressed sensing (PICS) method for the reconstruction of velocity fields from noisy and sparse phase-contrast magnetic resonance signals. The method solves an inverse Navier-Stokes boundary value problem, which permits us to jointly reconstruct and segment the velocity field, and at the same time infer hidden quantities such as the hydrodynamic pressure and the wall shear stress. Using a Bayesian framework, we regularize the problem by introducing a priori information about the unknown parameters in the form of Gaussian random fields.

NEWS2, patient safety and hypercapnic respiratory failure.

The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) has been widely adopted for use in clinical practice in the UK since its introduction in 2012. It is designed to improve patient safety. The original score was adapted in 2017 to improve patient safety further by introducing a separate score for oxygen saturation to be used in selected patients with respiratory diseases.

Prognostic value of National Early Warning Scores (NEWS2) and component physiology in hospitalised patients with COVID-19: a multicentre study.

Background: National Early Warning Scores (NEWS2) are used to detect all-cause deterioration. While studies have looked at NEWS2, the use of virtual consultation and remote monitoring of patients with COVID-19 mean there is a need to know which physiological observations are important.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between outcome and NEWS2, change in NEWS2 and component physiology in COVID-19 inpatients.
