Article Synopsis
- * Conducted at Shiga University Hospital in Japan from 2015 to 2021, it included 330 sepsis patients, finding schistocytes in 41, linked to significantly higher 90-day and 1-year mortality rates.
- * The presence of schistocytes correlated with worse organ failure scores, suggesting that their detection could help assess disease severity and shape treatment strategies for better outcomes in sepsis management.
Aim: The effect of polymyxin B-immobilized fiber column direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) is controversial. The present study investigates whether outcome in septic shock patients is affected by the time until PMX-DHP initiation and the location of the infection site (intra- or extra-abdominal infection (IAI/EAI)].
Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients receiving PMX-DHP for septic shock but excluded those treated after cardiac surgery or cardiac arrest.
