Journal ArticleDOI
A Clinical Algorithm to Diagnose Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis in Critically Ill Patients
Stijn Blot,Fabio Silvio Taccone,Anne-Marie Van den Abeele,Pierre Bulpa,Wouter Meersseman,Nele Brusselaers,George Dimopoulos,José A. Paiva,Benoit Misset,Jordi Rello,Koenraad Vandewoude,Dirk Vogelaers,AspICU Study Investigators +12 more
TL;DR: The algorithm demonstrated favorable operating characteristics to discriminate Aspergillus respiratory tract colonization from invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in critically ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis currently carries a very poor prognosis and could perhaps be improved by more rapid diagnosis and prompt therapy with voriconazole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of invasive aspergillosis in critically ill patients: clinical presentation, underlying conditions, and outcomes
Fabio Silvio Taccone,Anne-Marie Van den Abeele,Pierre Bulpa,Benoit Misset,Wouter Meersseman,Teresa Cardoso,José Artur Paiva,Miguel Blasco-Navalpotro,Emmanuel De Laere,George Dimopoulos,Jordi Rello,Dirk Vogelaers,Stijn Blot,Stijn Blot +13 more
TL;DR: Patients diagnosed with proven or putative IA had greater severity of illness and more frequently needed organ support than those with Aspergillus spp colonization, and IA among critically ill patients is associated with high mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seeking worldwide professional consensus on the principles of end-of-life care for the critically ill. The Consensus for Worldwide End-of-Life Practice for Patients in Intensive Care Units (WELPICUS) study.
Charles L. Sprung,Robert D. Truog,J. Randall Curtis,Gavin M. Joynt,Mario Baras,Andrej Michalsen,Josef Briegel,Jozef Kesecioglu,Linda S. Efferen,Edoardo De Robertis,Pierre Bulpa,Philipp G. H.

Hartog,Alexander Avidan +23 more
TL;DR: The extent of worldwide consensus for end-of-life practices is determined, where there is and is not consensus is delineated, and reasons for lack of consensus are analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognosis of hematologic malignancies does not predict intensive care unit mortality.
Paul Massion,Alain-Michel Dive,Chantal Doyen,Pierre Bulpa,Jacques Jamart,André Bosly,Etienne Installé +6 more
TL;DR: Prognosis of hematologic malignancies does not predict intensive care unit or hospital mortality and almost reaches significance for 6-mo mortality, but it determines long-term survival, which does not seem justified.
