Objective: To conduct a nationwide retrospective cohort study to assess trends and hospitalization-associated outcomes in patients with Wernicke encephalopathy.
Patients And Methods: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we used in-hospital claims data of patients hospitalized with Wernicke encephalopathy in Switzerland from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2020. We estimated incidence rates per 100,000 person-years among the overall Swiss population stratified by alcohol and non-alcohol-induced Wernicke encephalopathy.
Aim: Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) increases in response to brain injury and is recommended for outcome prediction in cardiac arrest patients. Our aim was to investigate whether NSE measured at different days after a cardiac arrest and its kinetics would improve the prognostic ability of two cardiac arrest specific risk scores.
Methods: Within this prospective observational study, we included consecutive adult patients after cardiac arrest.
Purpose: Relatives of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may suffer from adverse psychological outcomes. We assessed prevalence and risk factors for depression and anxiety in such relatives 90 days after ICU admission.
Materials And Methods: This study included consecutive relatives of OHCA patients admitted to the ICU of University Hospital in Basel, Switzerland.
Aim: Several scores are available to predict mortality and neurological outcome in cardiac arrest patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of the study was to externally validate the prognostic value of four previously published risk scores.
Methods: For this observational, single-center study, we prospectively included 349 consecutive adult cardiac arrest patients upon ICU admission.
