Journal ArticleDOI
Health status, quality of life, and the individual.
Gordon H. Guyatt,Deborah J. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this issue of JAMA, Gill and Feinstein take the philosophical position that only the individual can rate quality of life, and if the individual says that it is excellent, that is what it is.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinician predictions of intensive care unit mortality.
Graeme Rocker,Deborah J. Cook,Peter Sjokvist,Bruce Weaver,Simon Finfer,Ellen McDonald,John C. Marshall,Anne Kirby,Mitchell M. Levy,Peter Dodek,Daren K. Heyland,Gordon H. Guyatt +11 more
TL;DR: Physician estimates of intensive care unit survival <10% are associated with subsequent life support limitation and more powerfully predictintensive care unit mortality than illness severity, evolving or resolving organ dysfunction, and use of inotropes or vasopressors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality predictions in the intensive care unit: comparing physicians with scoring systems.
Tasnim Sinuff,Neill K. J. Adhikari,Deborah J. Cook,Holger J. Schünemann,Lauren Griffith,Graeme Rocker,Stephen D. Walter +6 more
TL;DR: Observational studies suggest that ICU physicians discriminate between survivors and nonsurvivors more accurately than do scoring systems in the first 24 hrs of ICU admission, implying limited usefulness of outcome prediction in thefirst 24 hrs for clinical decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does noninvasive positive pressure ventilation improve outcome in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure? A systematic review.
TL;DR: Randomized trials suggest that patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure are less likely to require endotracheal intubation when NPPV is added to standard therapy, however, the effect on mortality is less clear.
Journal ArticleDOI
An observational study of orthopaedic abstracts and subsequent full-text publications.
Mohit Bhandari,Philip J. Devereaux,Gordon H. Guyatt,Deborah J. Cook,Marc F. Swiontkowski,Sheila Sprague,Emil H. Schemitsch +6 more
TL;DR: The overall quality of reporting in abstracts proved inadequate, and inconsistencies between the final published paper and the original abstract occurred frequently, meaning the routine use of abstracts as a guide to orthopaedic practice needs to be reconsidered.
