Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different patterns of fluid balance (FB) in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) during their first week in ICU affect their clinical outcomes and mortality.
- Three distinct FB patterns were found: low FB (84.8%), decreasing FB (7.2%), and high FB (7.9%); high FB was particularly linked to a greater risk of in-hospital mortality and adverse kidney issues.
- The research suggests that monitoring and managing fluid balance is crucial for improving health outcomes in elderly AIS patients, as those with fluid overload showed significantly worse outcomes.
Objective: To assess the association between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and the prognosis in patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).
Methods: In this observational study, adult patients with SA-AKI were categorized into three groups based on SIRI tertiles. Survival outcomes were compared across the three groups using Kaplan-Meier survival curves.
Background: Skull fracture can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, yet the development of effective predictive tools has remained a challenge. This study aimed to establish and validate a nomogram to evaluate the 28-day mortality risk among patients with skull fracture.
Materials And Methods: Data extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database were utilized as the training set, while data from the eICU Collaborative Research Database were employed as the external validation set.
Background: In recent years, spectral computed tomography (CT) has shown excellent performance in the diagnosis of ground-glass nodules (GGNs) invasiveness; however, no research has combined spectral multimodal data and radiomics analysis for comprehensive analysis and exploration. Therefore, this study goes a step further on the basis of the previous research: to investigate the value of dual-layer spectral CT-based multimodal radiomics in accessing the invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma manifesting as GGNs.
Methods: In this study, 125 GGNs with pathologically confirmed preinvasive adenocarcinoma (PIA) and lung adenocarcinoma were divided into a training set (n=87) and a test set (n=38).
