Intrarater and interrater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale-Es and FRAIL-Es in critically ill patients.

Objective: To evaluate the intrarater and interrater reliability of the Clinical Frailty Scale-Spain (CFS-España) and FRAIL-España and the internal consistency of the FRAIL-España when implemented in critically ill patients by intensive care nurses and physicians.

Design: Descriptive, observational and metric study.

Setting: intensive care unit (ICU) of Spain.

Cross-cultural adaptation of the FRAIL scale for critically ill patients in Spain.

Aim: To translate and culturally adapt the FRAIL scale into Spanish and perform a preliminary test of diagnostic accuracy in patients admitted to intensive care units.

Design: Cross-sectional diagnostic study.

Methods: Five intensive care units (ICU) in Spain were participated.

[Analysis of the factors involved in the evolution of patients over 80 years of age admitted to the intensive care unit: Should we change our procedure?].

Background And Objectives: The care of older patients in intensive care units (ICU) is becoming more frequent. To describe characteristics of elderly patients admitted to the ICU and to analyze the factors associated with mortality.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study, with patients ≥80 years, admitted to the ICU of the Rey Juan Carlos University Hospital, from March 2012 to December 2018.

[ISAR Score (Identification of Seniors At Risk) predicts mortality in patients older than 75 years admitted in Intensive Care].

Background And Objectives: Currently, the patient's baseline situation is a more important prognostic factor than age. The purpose of this study is to estimate the prognostic value of the ISAR score (Identification of Senior at Risk) in patients ≥75 years admitted to intensive care (ICU).

Patients And Methods: Prospective multicenter study including patients ≥75 years admitted to the ICU > 24hours.

Severe acute respiratory failure secondary to acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation: a case report and literature review.

A 27-year-old woman was admitted to our ICU with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and criteria for ARDS. Despite an F(IO(2)) of 1.0 and a lung protective strategy, the patient died on day 15 without any improvement.

A metabolomic approach for diagnosis of experimental sepsis.

Background: The search for reliable diagnostic biomarkers of sepsis remains necessary. Assessment of global metabolic profiling using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics offers an attractive modern methodology for fast and comprehensive determination of multiple circulating metabolites and for defining the metabolic phenotype of sepsis.

Objective: To develop a novel NMR-based metabolomic approach for diagnostic evaluation of sepsis.

[Analysis of short-term time off of health workers in a health area].

Objective: To describe the characteristics of short-term time off work (STT): duration, causes and distribution by age, and sex.

Design: Descriptive, observational study.

Setting: Area 1, Madrid, Spain.
