Patients and Methods: Patient data were obtained from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III database. The relationship between … Continue reading The Relationship Between Prognostic #Nutritional Index and All-Cause #Mortality in Critically Ill Patients: A Retrospective Study
Long-term cognitive impairment frequently occurs after critical illness; no treatments are known to improve long-term cognition. Research Question Does a single high-dose (540,000 IU) enteral treatment of vitamin D3 given shortly after hospital admission in vitamin D deficient, critically-ill patients improve long-term global cognition or executive function?

Motivated by a new randomized trial (the PEPTIC trial) that raised the issue of an increase in mortality with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) relative to histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), we updated our prior systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) addressing the impact of pharmacological gastrointestinal bleeding prophylaxis in critically ill patients. Seventy-four trials enrolling 39 … Continue reading Efficacy and safety of gastrointestinal #bleeding prophylaxis in critically #ill patients: an updated systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized trials
