Background: Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) occurs with high prevalence among critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and is associated with worse outcomes. The PSH-Assessment Measure (PSH-AM) consists of a Clinical Features Scale and a diagnosis likelihood tool (DLT) intended to quantify the severity of sympathetically mediated symptoms and the likelihood that they are due to PSH, respectively, on a daily basis. Here, we aim to identify and explore the value of dynamic trends in the evolution of sympathetic hyperactivity following acute TBI using elements of the PSH-AM.

The solutions achieved by these projects have effects beyond the laboratory, and ultimately help to improve diagnostic stewardship by supporting the clinician's ability to obtain necessary biochemical information at the right time. A project highlighting a successful venture is described here in which our investment in new total laboratory automation was not meeting our goals for autoverification rates, resulting in less than expected improvements to turnaround times (TAT).
