Objective: To define the informative value of qSOFA score in the prediction of outcomes in surgical patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units.
Study Design: Post hoc analysis of multicenter prospective observational study RISES. The following patient information was analyzed: gender, age, diagnosis, presence of infection, SIRS criteria, qSOFA and SOFA scores, outcomes.
Results: The study included data of 331 patients with surgical diseases. Infection was not observed in 174 (52.6%) cases, 157 (47.4%) patients had infection. In the group of patients without infection, area under ROC-curve for SIRS criteria was 0.519 (95% CI 0.429-0.610) and similar to that qSOFA (p=0.535). Area under ROC-curve for SOFA scale was 0.619 (95% CI 0.511-0.726) and did not significantly differ from this value for QSOFA (p=0.241). In the group of surgical patients with infection, area under ROC-curve for SIRS was 0.490 (95% CI 0.419-0.561), that was significantly lower than area under ROC-curve for qSOFA (p=0.016). Area under ROC-curve for SOFA scale was 0.803 (95% CI 0.681-0.924), that significantly exceeded area under ROC-curve for qSOFA (p=0.017).
Conclusion: qSOFA scale is important in surgical patients with infection admitted to ICUs. Increased qSOFA score is associated with augmentation of mortality rate. qSOFA scale significantly exceeds the SIRS criteria, but is inferior to the SOFA in the prognosis of mortality in these patients.

Serum NLR combined with CA125 and HE4 improves the diagnostic and prognostic efficiency in patients with ovarian cancer.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers for early detection. An elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as an indicator of host inflammatory response and has been linked to poorer overall survival (OS) across various cancer types; however, its examination in OC remains limited.

Objectives: To evaluate the ability of the plaque characteristics of extracranial carotid and intracranial arteries to predict large atherosclerotic ischemic stroke recurrence via head and neck combined high-resolution vessel wall imaging (HR-VWI).
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 169 patients with large atherosclerotic ischemic stroke who underwent head and neck combined HR-VWI from April 2022 to May 2023. The baseline clinical data and atherosclerotic plaque characteristics of the intracranial and extracranial carotid arteries were collected, and the patients were followed up for 1 year, with the endpoint event defined as recurrent ischemic stroke.
Post-craniotomy intracranial pressure monitoring: a novel approach combining optic nerve sheath diameter ultrasonography and cervical-cerebral arterial ultrasound.
Front Neurol
January 2025
Department of Ultrasound, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, Tai'an, China.
Objective: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), a common complication in traumatic brain injuries (TBI), can lead to optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) enlargement and flow spectrum changes from the internal carotid artery (ICA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA). This study will investigate the use of Cervical-Cerebral Arterial Ultrasound (CCAU) for non-invasive ICP assessment and evaluating the related indices' clinical utility in TBI patients with decompressive craniotomy (DC).
Methods: ONSD and flow spectrum changes were measured within 24 h after DC in 106 patients via ultrasonic ONSD measurement and CCAU, simultaneously.

Objective: To develop and validate an explainable machine learning (ML) model predicting the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) thrombolysis within 4.5 h after symptom onset to form the original modeling cohort.

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk factors in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.
Methods: A total of 615 older adults with osteoporosis hospitalized at a tertiary (grade 3A) hospital in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China, between September 2022 and August 2023 were selected for the study using convenience sampling. Fall risk factors were identified using univariate and logistic regression analyses, and a predictive risk model was constructed and visualized through a nomogram.
