Introduction: Complicated intraabdominal infection (cIAI) is a widespread infection of intraabdominal organs and it has a high mortality rate. Patients might present with various factors affecting the prognosis of this condition. This study aims to analyze the various factors of cIAI patients and to find their association with mortality during the treatment in hospitals.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective single-center study was conducted between 2020 and 2021 using 265 patients' medical records at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital in Surabaya, Indonesia. Various data regarding patient factors at the time of admission were recorded and analyzed to find the association with mortality during treatment. Chi-square and logistic regression test were used to verify our hypothesis statistically.

Results: The patient factors in this study were predominantly male patients (65.3%), younger age (86.4%), cIAI caused by appendicitis (35.5%), and normal nutritional status (73.2%). The overall mortality rate during treatment in this study was 34.7%. Five factors were significantly associated with mortality in cIAI patients during treatment (p<0.05), which are: older than 65 years old (OR: 2.85; 95% CI 1.11-7.31), having comorbid disease (OR: 7.92; 95% CI 2.05-30.63), septic shock on admission (OR: 5.56; 95% CI 2.40-12.91), treatment duration more than 3 days (OR: 2.52; 95% CI 1.24-5.15), and SOFA score more than 2 points (OR: 12.14; 95% CI 2.70-54.72).

Conclusion: Patient factors including age, comorbid disease, septic shock on admission, treatment duration, and SOFA score were significantly associated with the incidence of mortality during the treatment in cIAI patients.

Multilevel modelling of the determinants of under-five deaths in South Africa: Evidence from the 2016 Demographic Health Survey.

Afr J Reprod Health

November 2024

SAMRC/Wits Developmental Pathways for Health Research Unit, Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Clinical Medicine, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Although South Africa is among the countries with lower under-five mortality rates in sub-Saharan Africa, the country has failed to meet the national targets set to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The study aimed to examine multilevel determinants of deaths of children under five in South Africa. Secondary data from the 2016 South Africa Demographic Health Survey was used to conduct bivariate and multilevel logistic regression analyses.

Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), also known as hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In severe cases, SOS/VOD progresses to multiple organ failure with a mortality rate higher than 80%. Early diagnosis and treatment based on severity assessment improve the prognosis of severe SOS/VOD, but conventional diagnostic criteria may be insufficient for an early diagnosis.

Proposal: Bold New Indications for Transcatheter Pulmonary Flow Restrictors.

Pediatr Cardiol

January 2025

Pediatric Heart Center, Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University Clinic, Theodor-Storm-Kai 7, 60596, Frankfurt, Germany.

This proposal presents a proof of concept for the use of pulmonary flow restrictors (PFRs) based on MVP™-devices, drawing from clinical experience, and explores their potential role in the management of newborns with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), other complex left heart lesions, and infants with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). At this early stage of age, manually adjusted PFRs can be tailored to patient's size and hemodynamic needs. Although currently used off-label, PFRs have substantial potential to improve outcomes in these vulnerable patient populations.

Donor C1 Group KIR-ligand inferiority is linked to increased mortality in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide.

Cytotherapy

Department of Internal Medicine I: Hematology with Stem Cell Transplantation, Hemostaseology and Medical Oncology, Ordensklinikum Linz-Elisabethinen, Linz, Austria; Medical Faculty, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria.

Background Aims: In HLA-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), HLA-C1 group killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligands have been linked to graft-versus-host disease, whereas C2 homozygosity was associated with increased relapses. The differential impact of the recipients versus the donor's HLA-C KIR ligands cannot be determined in HLA-identical HSCT but may be elucidated in the haploidentical setting, in which HLA-C (including the HLA-C KIR ligand group) mismatching is frequently present.

Methods: We retrospectively investigated the effect of recipient versus donor C1 ligand content on survival and complications in post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy)-based haploidentical HSCT (n = 170).

The pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum causes a fatal infectious illness known as pythiosis, impacting humans and certain animals in numerous countries in the tropics and subtropics. Delayed diagnosis is a primary factor contributing to the heightened morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Several new serodiagnostic methods have been developed to improve the identification of pythiosis.
