TL;DR: A clinical prediction tool for hospital mortality to improve future end-of-life decision making for very elderly patients who are admitted to Canadian ICUs is developed and a Risk Scale is developed that may be used to inform discussions regarding goals of care in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteremia Antibiotic Length Actually Needed for Clinical Effectiveness (BALANCE): study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial
Nick Daneman,Asgar H. Rishu,Wei Xiong,Sean M. Bagshaw,Deborah J. Cook,Peter Dodek,Richard Hall,Anand Kumar,Francois Lamontagne,François Lauzier,John C. Marshall,Claudio Martin,Lauralyn McIntyre,John Muscedere,Steven Reynolds,Henry T. Stelfox,Robert A. Fowler +16 more
TL;DR: The BALANCE pilot trial will inform the design and execution of the subsequent BALANCE main trial, which will evaluate shorter versus longer duration treatment for bacteremia in critically ill patients, and thereby provide an evidence basis for treatment duration decisions for these infections.
