Assessment of the worldwide burden of critical illness: The Intensive Care Over Nations (ICON) audit

TL;DR: In this article, the authors did an international audit of ICU patients worldwide and assessed variations between hospitals and countries in terms of the ICU mortality, showing that sepsis remains a major health problem worldwide, associated with high mortality rates in all countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decontamination of the Digestive Tract and Oropharynx in ICU Patients

TL;DR: In an ICU population in which the mortality rate associated with standard care was 27.5% at day 28, the rate was reduced by an estimated 3.5 percentage points with SDD and by 2.9 percentage pointsWith SOD, according to a random-effects logistic-regression model.
Journal ArticleDOI

A subset of neutrophils in human systemic inflammation inhibits T cell responses through Mac-1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that suppression of T cell function can be accomplished by a subset of human neutrophils that can be systemically induced in response to acute inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Unified Theory of Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury: Inflammation, microcirculatory dysfunction, bioenergetics and the tubular cell adaptation to injury

TL;DR: It is proposed that the interplay between inflammation and oxidative stress, microvascular dysfunction, and the adaptive response of the tubular epithelial cell to the septic insult is mostly adaptive in origin, that it is driven by mitochondria, and that it ultimately results in and explains the clinical phenotype of sepsis-induced AKI.
Journal ArticleDOI

COVID-19-associated acute kidney injury: consensus report of the 25th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) Workgroup.

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement from the Acute Disease Quality Initiative provides recommendations for the diagnosis, prevention and management of COVID-19 AKI and for areas of future research, with the aim of improving understanding of the underlying processes and outcomes for patients with CO VID- 19 AKI.
