Guidelines for evaluation of new fever in critically ill adult patients: 2008 update from the American College of Critical Care Medicine and the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

TL;DR: A task force of 11 experts in the disciplines related to critical care medicine and infectious diseases concluded that, because fever can have many infectious and noninfectious etiologies, a new fever in a patient in the intensive care unit should trigger a careful clinical assessment rather than automatic orders for laboratory and radiologic tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-reported symptom experience of critically ill cancer patients receiving intensive care.

Journal ArticleDOI

Multicenter outcome study of cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit: a probability of mortality model.

TL;DR: A disease-specific multivariable logistic regression model to estimate the probability of hospital mortality in a cohort of critically ill cancer patients admitted to the ICU should move the discussion regarding appropriate use of ICU resources forward.
