Objective: To compare bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived parameters in healthy volunteers and critically ill patients and to assess its prognostic value in an ICU patient cohort.

Design: Retrospective, observational data analysis.

Setting: Single centre, tertiary-level ICU (Ziekenhuis Netwerk Antwerpen, ZNA Stuivenberg Hospital).

Oligodendrocytes are responsible for myelinating central nervous system (CNS) axons and rapid electrical transmission through saltatory conduction of action potentials. Myelination and myelin repair rely partially on oligodendrogenesis, which comprises oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) migration, maturation, and differentiation into oligodendrocytes (OL). In multiple sclerosis (MS), demyelination occurs due to an inflammatory cascade with auto-reactive T-cells.

Background: Delirium is an underdiagnosed and possibly preventable complication in acute stroke and is linked to poor outcome. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammation, is also associated with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke.

Aim: To determine whether NLR is a predictor of post-stroke delirium (PSD).

Introduction: The non-invasive analysis of body fluid composition with bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides additional information allowing for more persona-lised therapy to improve outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the prognostic value of fluid overload (FO) in the first week of intensive care unit (ICU) stay.

Material And Methods: A retrospective, observational analysis of 101 ICU patients.
