Background: This study aimed to assess and compare the prognostic value of frailty score (FS), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and additive of FS and SOFA score, at the time of admission to the coronary care unit (CCU), for the prediction of short-term poor prognosis in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients, requiring advanced life-support.

Methods: A cohort of post-MI patients admitted to CCU. The FS and SOFA score were obtained at the time of CCU admission. The prognostic value of FS, SOFA score, and FS+SOFA score was assessed to predict in-hospital and short-term follow-up mortality.

Results: The study sample consisted of 312 patients: females were 27.2% (85), and the mean age was 60.32±11.51 years. A concordance rate of 51.8% was observed between admission FS (≥3) and SOFA score (≥9). A total of 67.3% (210) patients were categorized as moderate to severely frail (≥3), while the SOFA score identified 26.0% (81) high-risk (≥9) patients. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.707 [0.638-0.776], 0.764 [0.704-0.825], and 0.783 [0.724-0.842] for in-hospital mortality and 0.684 [0.621-0.746], 0.718 [0.659-0.778], and 0.744 [0.687-0.801] for 180-day cumulative mortality against FS, SOFA, and FS+SOFA score, respectively. A hazard ratio of 2.75 [1.61-4.71] and 2.51 [1.68-3.75] were observed for mortality during 180-day follow-up among patients with FS ≥3 and SOFA score ≥9, respectively.

Conclusions: CCU admission Frailty Score is a good clinical substitute for SOFA score for an early prognostication of post-MI patients on advanced life-support.

Invasive infections with Aspergillus fumigatus in ICU patients are linked to high morbidity and mortality. Diagnosing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in non-immunosuppressed patients is difficult, as Aspergillus antigen (galactomannan [GM]) may have other causes. This retrospective study analyzed 160 ICU surgical patients with positive GM in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF), classifying them based on AspICU criteria for suspected IPA (pIPA) or aspiration.

Background: Sepsis, a major global health concern, leads to millions of deaths annually, hence the need for early and reliable prognostic tools to assess patient risk and guide clinical decision making becomes crucial. This cross-sectional study evaluated the prognostic accuracy of integrating blood lactate and serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels with the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for predicting mortality in sepsis patients. The objective was to assess whether this lactate and procalcitonin integrated with NEWS score (LP NEWS) could serve as a more effective early prognostic tool compared to established severity scores.

Sepsis is a severe infectious disease with high mortality. However, the indicators used to evaluate its severity and prognosis are relatively complicated. The systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), a new inflammatory indicator, has shown good predictive value in chronic infection, stroke, and cancer.

Objective: To determine whether the ROX index and its variations can predict the risk of intubation in ICU patients receiving NIV ventilation using large public ICU databases.

Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting: Patient data was extracted from both the AmsterdamUMCdb and the MIMIC-IV ICU databases, which contained data related to 20,109 and 50,920 unique patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the value of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in the early recognition of sepsis coagulopathy (SIC) and the prognosis of sepsis patients.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for 139 patients with sepsis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Hefei Third People's Hospital from April 2022 through April 2024. The clinical baseline data, disease scores [sequential organ failure (SOFA) score, acute physiology and chronic health status (APACHE II) score, and SIC score], inflammatory markers [HBP, procalcitonin (PCT), and interleukin 6 (IL-6)], coagulation-related indexes [platelet count (PLT), prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fib), and D dimer (D-D)], and the survival time and 28-day prognosis of all patients were observed.
