Trailblazing data from a national multicenter survey shows that up to one-third of children did not fully recover and experienced persistent symptoms from 1 to 2 years after release from the hospital. The research, published in Frontiers in Pediatrics, found that 30% of parents (23 out of 79) reported that their child had not recovered from COVID-19 and/or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), a rare but serious complication that can occur after COVID-19. Children who had not recovered were more likely to have symptoms that were new or persisted after hospital discharge. The majority (87%) of these children h

Mashup Score: 1Outcomes After Respiratory Extracorporeal Life Support in... : Critical Care Medicine - 2 month(s) ago
CLS. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry, an international prospective quality improvement database. PATIENTS: All patients ages 16–30 years cannulated for respiratory indications from 1990 to 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups, teens (16–19 yr old) and young adults (20–30 yr old). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Primary outcome was survival to discharge. Variables were considered for the multivariate logistic regression model if there was both a statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) and a clinically meaningful absolute difference between the groups. A total of 5,751 patients were included, of whom 1,653 (29%) were teens and 4,098 (71%) were young adults. Survival to discharge was higher in young adults than teens, 69% versus 63% (p < 0.001). Severity of illness was higher among teens; however, survival within each stratum defined by Pao2/Fio2 ratio was higher in young adults

Fluid overload occurs in more than two-thirds of critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) receiving kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and is independently associated with morbidity and mortality [1, 2]. International consensus guidelines recommend extracorporeal net fluid removal when a life-threatening fluid overload occurs in a patient with oliguric AKI refractory to diuretics [3, 4, 5]. However, the optimal method of net fluid removal during KRT remains to be determined, and there is
