Journal ArticleDOI

E. Patchen Dellinger,Jose M. Tellado,Norberto E. Soto,Stanley W. Ashley,Philip S. Barie,Thierry Dugernier,Clement W. Imrie,Colin D. Johnson,Hanns-Peter Knaebel,Pierre-François Laterre,Enrique Maravi-Poma,Jorge J. Olsina Kissler,Miguel Sánchez-García,Stefan Utzolino +13 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups for pancreatic or peripancreatic infection, mortality, or requirement for surgical intervention, and did not support early prophylactic antimicrobial use in patients with severe acute necrotizing pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Sodium Selenite Administration and Procalcitonin-Guided Therapy on Mortality in Patients With Severe Sepsis or Septic Shock: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Frank Bloos,Evelyn Trips,Axel Nierhaus,Josef Briegel,Daren K. Heyland,Ulrich Jaschinski,Onnen Moerer,Andreas Weyland,Gernot Marx,Matthias Gründling,Stefan Kluge,Ines Kaufmann,Klaus Ott,Michael Quintel,Florian Jelschen,Patrick Meybohm,Sibylle Rademacher,Andreas Meier-Hellmann,Stefan Utzolino,Udo Kaisers,Christian Putensen,Gunnar Elke,Maximilian Ragaller,Herwig Gerlach,Katrin Ludewig,Michael Kiehntopf,Holger Bogatsch,Christoph Engel,Frank M. Brunkhorst,Markus Loeffler,Konrad Reinhart +30 more
TL;DR: Neither high-dose intravenous administration of sodium selenite nor anti-infectious therapy guided by a procalcitonin algorithm was associated with an improved outcome in patients with severe sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Randomized, Placebo-controlled Trial of Preemptive Antifungal Therapy for the Prevention of Invasive Candidiasis Following Gastrointestinal Surgery for Intra-abdominal Infections
Wolfgang Knitsch,Jean Louis Vincent,Stefan Utzolino,Bruno François,Tamas Dinya,George Dimopoulos,Ilhan Ozgunes,Juan Carlos Valía,Philippe Eggimann,Cristóbal León,Philippe Montravers,Stephen Phillips,Lorraine Tweddle,Andreas Karas,M Brown,Oliver A. Cornely +15 more
TL;DR: This exploratory clinical trial could not provide evidence that a preemptive antifungal treatment strategy was effective in this patient group of patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery for intra-abdominal infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimally invasive operations for acute necrotizing pancreatitis: comparison of minimally invasive retroperitoneal necrosectomy with endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy.
Dirk Bausch,Ulrich F. Wellner,Sebastian Kahl,Simon Kuesters,Hans-Jürgen Richter-Schrag,Stefan Utzolino,Ulrich T. Hopt,Tobias Keck,Andreas Fischer +8 more
TL;DR: Morbidity and mortality remains high in acute necrotizing pancreatitis and minimally invasive procedures can avoid laparotomy, but also introduce specific complications requiring immediate or secondary open operative treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unplanned discharges from a surgical intensive care unit: readmissions and mortality.
TL;DR: Earlier-than-planned discharge from a SICU leads to a substantially higher readmission rate, and readmission correlates with an elevated risk of death.
