Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if severe traumatic rhabdomyolysis (with CK levels > 5000 U/L) affects the likelihood of death within 30 days for trauma patients, utilizing a causal inference approach in a multicenter cohort in France.
- - An analysis of 8592 patients revealed that 18% had severe RM, primarily affecting young males with blunt trauma, yet it did not significantly impact overall 30-day mortality rates despite associated complications.
- - While patients with severe RM had higher rates of multiorgan failure and septic shock during ICU stays, this risk was not a significant predictor of death when adjusted for confounding factors.
Background: Patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 may require tracheostomy and transfer to a weaning center. To date, data on the outcome of these patients are scarce. The objectives of this study were to determine the factors associated with time to decannulation and limb-muscle strength recovery.

- - The study examined ICU admissions for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) over two decades, analyzing reasons for admission and patient outcomes.
- - The main reason for ICU admission was acute respiratory failure, with high rates of aspiration pneumonia, especially in patients with brainstem tumors; hospital and 6-month mortality rates were found to be 47% and 53%, respectively.
- - Key factors leading to increased 6-month mortality included admission for coma, cancer progression, and the need for mechanical support, while better pre-admission performance status correlated with lower mortality risk.
Article Synopsis
- * It analyzed the status of 91 patients from 2009 to 2018, revealing that while 86% were discharged alive, the 1-year mortality rate was a striking 73%.
- * Key findings suggest that maintaining anticancer treatment and better functional status at ICU admission are linked to lower mortality rates post-discharge, emphasizing the potential benefits of ICU admission for these patients.
