We developed a modified cardiovascular (CV) Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score using an emergency department-based cohort data, incorporating norepinephrine equivalent dose and lactate to represent current clinical practice patterns for vasopressor utilization and the diagnostic significance of lactate, respectively. In this study, we sought to validate this modified CV-SOFA score in intensive care unit patients with suspected infection using the Marketplace for Medical Information in Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database. This was a retrospective study that utilized data from the MIMIC-IV database.

Article Synopsis
- Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the top cause of death in kids and teens, and this study examines the differences in severity based on the type of road users—passengers, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists.
- A large analysis of 78,021 RTI cases from emergency departments in South Korea revealed that motorcyclists had the worst outcomes in terms of serious injuries and fatalities.
- The study emphasizes the importance of using safety devices for preventing severe RTIs, particularly in passengers and motorcyclists, suggesting that tailored interventions are necessary to address the unique needs of each road user group.

Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
Introduction: E-cigarettes have been shown to be effective for tobacco smoking cessation. Predicting those who are most likely to achieve smoking abstinence after receiving an e-cigarette based smoking cessation intervention could help to target interventions more efficiently.
Methods: A secondary analysis of baseline characteristics of 505 people who received an emergency department based smoking cessation intervention incorporating brief advice, provision of an e-cigarette starter kit and referral to stop smoking services.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of emergency department-based hepatitis C screening and linkage-to-care program.
BMC Health Serv Res
October 2024
Department of Pharmacy Systems, Outcomes and Policy, College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: In the United States (US), hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening is not covered by payers in settings outside of primary care. A non-traditional, emergency department (ED)-based HCV screening program can be cost-effective and identify infection in vulnerable populations with a high HCV risk. This study examined the long-term cost-effectiveness of routine HCV screening and linkage-to-care for high-risk patients in the ED from the payer's perspective.
