Critical care nutrition: a Bayesian re-analysis of trial data.
Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Nutritional support and glucose control are crucial in critical illness care, but current evidence is inconsistent, making it hard to apply findings clinically.
- The review highlights how Bayesian methods can help clarify the mixed outcomes from recent critical care trials (NUTRIREA-3, EFFORT Protein, TGC-Fast) by providing more interpretable results.
- By re-analyzing mortality data through a Bayesian lens, the study shows these methods can identify benefits and risks more effectively than traditional frequentist approaches, potentially improving clinical decision-making.
Objectives: We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of any antiseizure medication on the incidence of early post-traumatic seizures among adult patients with traumatic brain injury.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and LILACS were searched from inception to October 2023.
Study Selection: We included randomized trials of adult patients with traumatic brain injury evaluating any antiseizure medication compared with either placebo or another agent.
Background: Sodium increases during acute kidney injury (AKI) recovery. Both hypernatremia and positive fluid balances are associated with increased mortality. We aimed to evaluate the association between daily fluid balance and daily plasma sodium during the recovery from AKI among critical patients.

Methods: This is an almost experimental study conducted with 100 nursing professionals. Data collection was performed using a sociodemographic characterization instrument and the Standard Precautions Knowledge Questionnaire.
Background: Understanding the correlation between the methods of monitoring surface cleaning and disinfection (SCD) is fundamental for better infection control.
Purpose: This study aims to correlate the SCD monitoring methods in a Brazilian pediatric unit. This is an exploratory, longitudinal, and correlational study.
Objective: Extubation failure in brain-injured patients is associated with increased morbidity. Our objective was to systematically review prognostic factors associated with extubation failure in acutely brain-injured adult patients receiving invasive ventilation in an ICU.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central were searched from inception to January 31, 2022.
