Influence of systolic blood pressure trajectory on in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis.

Background: Numerous studies have investigated the mean arterial pressure in patients with sepsis, and many meaningful results have been obtained. However, few studies have measured the systolic blood pressure (SBP) multiple times and established trajectory models for patients with sepsis with different SBP trajectories.

Methods: Data from patients with sepsis were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III database for inclusion in a retrospective cohort study.

Association between glucocorticoid use and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with heart failure: A cohort study based on the MIMIC-III database.

Heart failure (HF) is the terminal stage of various heart diseases. Conventional treatments have poor efficacy, and diuretic resistance can present. Previous studies have found that the use of glucocorticoids can enhance the diuretic effect of patients with heart failure and reduce heart failure symptoms.

Development and validation of a simple nomogram for predicting the short-term prognosis of patients with pulmonary embolism.

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a disease caused by blood clots, tumor embolism, and other emboli within the pulmonary arteries. Various scoring scales are used for PE. One such same is the PESI, but it has 12 variables, making it inconvenient for clinical application.
