Aim: Septic older adults represent a vulnerable population with high mortality rates. Base excess (BE), an indicator of acid-base status, may serve as a prognostic marker in sepsis. This study aimed to investigate the association between BE and mortality in septic older adults.

In this work, we demonstrate a continuous-wave (CW) single-frequency DFG in a ZnGeP (ZGP) crystal driven by all-fiber near-infrared (NIR) fiber lasers, for the first time to our knowledge. The all-fiber NIR laser sources consist of a 1.

Methods: In this study, multivariate Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier analysis were employed to evaluate the correlation between ACAG and 30-day mortality in septic older adults.
Results: After adjustment for potential confounders, each 1 mmol/L increase in ACAG was associated with a 6% increase in 30-day mortality (HR, 1.
Background: Sepsis is a critical condition with a significant risk of mortality. Advanced age is one factor in increasing mortality in intensive care.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between mean heart rate (MHR) and 30-day mortality among older patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Background: There is limited evidence on the association between body mass index (BMI) and outcomes in older adults with sepsis.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between BMI and the clinical outcome in the older adults with sepsis.
Methods: All older adults (age 65 or older) with sepsis were analyzed retrospectively in the Intensive Care Medical Information Mart (MIMIC)- IV database.
