Article Synopsis
- - Central nervous system (CNS) infections can sometimes occur as a complication of invasive liver abscess syndrome, but they are infrequently linked to CNS infections without liver abscesses.
- - The text focuses on three fatal cases of CNS infections caused by a certain pathogen that didn't involve liver abscesses.
- - These cases highlight the rarity and potential severity of CNS infections connected to the pathogen when there are no detectable liver abscesses.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze characteristics of trauma patients who self-referred to the emergency department and later died, focusing on identifying factors that predict mortality.
- Researchers examined data from a nationwide registry in Japan between 2004 and 2019, comparing the traits of patients who died to those who survived, using logistic regression to assess the impact of various factors on in-hospital death.
- Key findings indicated that older age, male sex, higher comorbidity scores, specific injury circumstances, lower neurological scores, and severe injuries significantly increased the likelihood of mortality in these patients, suggesting early identification and targeted treatment could improve outcomes.
Objective: The hospital volume-outcome relationship in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains unclear. This study investigated the association between the volume of patients with severe TBI and in-hospital mortality.
Methods: This observational study identified patients with severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale score <9 and Abbreviated Injury Scale head score ≥3) from the Japan Trauma Databank (2010-2018).
