AI Article Synopsis
- In a previous study, only 4% of sepsis survivors had their condition documented when transitioning from hospital to home health care, potentially compromising patient care.
- The lack of clear documentation can lead to unpreparedness and poor health outcomes for patients.
- Researchers collaborated with hospitals and home care agencies to create two IT solutions, finding that the automated approach was more effective in enhancing information transfer.
Article Abstract
In a previous study, sepsis was noted as a diagnosis on the home health record only 4% of the time for 165,000 sepsis survivors transitioning from hospital to home health care in America. If sepsis and other conditions are not clearly documented in the transitional care record this can lead to unpreparedness, missed, care, and poor patient outcomes. Our implementation science study discovered a source of this problem regarding the sepsis documentation in 16 hospitals referring to five home care agencies. Together, researchers, hospital, and home care personnel developed and implemented two information technology solutions to address this deficit in seven hospitals. The automated method was more readily adopted and effective in improving information transfer between hospital and home health care.

Comparing the Prognostic Value of Lactate to the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio Among Sepsis Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Open Access Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Background: Lactate has long been recognized as a key prognostic biomarker in sepsis. Similarly, the prognostic role of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been investigated in various conditions, including sepsis. Previous studies have explored the optimal NLR cutoff to differentiate sepsis survivors from nonsurvivors, predict bacteremia, diagnose sepsis, and assess mortality.

Introduction: Sepsis is a serious condition that may lead to death or profoundly affect the well-being of those who survive. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and summarize evidence on the impact of all-cause sepsis on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes among sepsis survivors in the USA.
Methods: Studies assessing HRQoL, physical, cognitive, and psychological outcomes in patients who survived an episode of sepsis and published from January 1, 2010, to September 30, 2023, were systematically identified through EMBASE, MEDLINE, and MEDLINE In-Process databases, as well as through gray literature.
The pattern of cytokine profile in children received extracorporeal blood purification.

Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Hong Kong Children's Hospital, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
We reported the cytokine profile in children <18 years old who received extracorporeal blood purification (EBP) for sepsis, rhabdomyolysis, hyperbilirubinaemia, acute respiratory distress syndrome or cytokine storm, and determined the factors affecting the cytokine removal kinetics. Plasma levels of 38 types of cytokine/chemokine were measured at pre-EBP, 12 and 24 h after initiating EBP. Altogether there were 11 eligible episodes admitted between April 2021 and December 2023.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between serum heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) levels and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 76 septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Fifty non-septic ICU patients and 50 healthy individuals served as control groups.
Identification of prognostic biomarkers of sepsis and construction of ceRNA regulatory networks.

Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Sepsis is a life-threatening severe organ dysfunction, and the pathogenesis remains uncertain. Increasing evidence suggests that circRNAs, mRNAs, and microRNAs can interact to jointly regulate the development of sepsis. Identifying the interaction between ceRNA regulatory networks and sepsis may contribute to our deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis, bring new insights into early recognition and treatment of sepsis.
