Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a life-threatening condition with high rates of illness and mortality, requiring early detection and evaluation of its severity for effective treatment.
- A study conducted on 201 ICU patients in Pakistan aimed to assess the relationship between serum albumin levels and sepsis severity using the SOFA scoring system.
- Results showed that many patients had low albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia), indicating potential that serum albumin could be a useful predictor for assessing the severity of sepsis.
Article Synopsis
- This study explores the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction, aiming to simplify the severity evaluation process compared to the complex Gensini scoring system.
- Conducted on 208 patients at Benazir Bhutto Hospital over a year, the study utilized both descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze the collected data, including Gensini and vessel scores to categorize CAD severity.
- Findings indicated that 61.53% of participants had non-severe CAD while 38.47% had severe CAD, revealing significant correlations between higher NLR values and increased CAD severity, along with various risk factors like
