A cytokine panel and procalcitonin in COVID-19, a comparison between intensive care and non-intensive care patients

Tina Mazaheri, Ruvini Ranasinghe, Wiaam Al-Hasani, James Luxton, Jessica Kearney, Allison Manning, Georgios K. Dimitriadis, Tracey Mare, Royce P. Vincent

Summary: COVID-19 patients with bacterial superinfections have higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and PCT, despite no difference in CRP. Higher levels of TNF alpha are associated with longer ICU stay.

Telemedicine in Intensive Care Units: Scoping Review

Camille Guinemer, Martin Boeker, Daniel Fuerstenau, Akira-Sebastian Poncette, Bjoern Weiss, Rudolf Moergeli, Felix Balzer

Summary: Tele-ICU interventions have diverse use cases that include extending coverage, improving compliance, and facilitating transfer. Current research focuses on the benefits of tele-ICU interventions in centralized systems for expanding critical care capabilities in community settings and improving care compliance in tertiary hospitals. No strong evidence has been found regarding the reduction of patient transfers following tele-ICU interventions.

Management of Very Old Patients in Intensive Care Units

Xin Ding, Hui Lian, Xiaoting Wang

Summary: Global aging population is leading to increased demand for critical care wards, as elderly individuals experience decline in organ function. A new focus in geriatric care is on optimizing critical care resources for very old patients to provide the best treatment plan. A recent study shares a treatment strategy for very old patients in intensive care units, aimed at helping intensivists provide more comprehensive therapy.

Smart Health-Enhanced Early Mobilisation in Intensive Care Units

Maria Ferre, Edgar Batista, Agusti Solanas, Antoni Martinez-Balleste

Summary: Prolonged stays in the Intensive Care Units can lead to Post-Intensive Care Syndrome, for which Early Mobilisation has been proposed as a beneficial technique. However, the appropriate application of Early Mobilisation programs requires overcoming resource scarcity, and Information and Communication Technologies play a key role in this aspect.

The distinct microbial community patterns and pathogen transmission routes in intensive care units

Junwei Chen, Lei Ji, Guangzhou Xiong, Kang Ning

Summary: This study examines the different bacterial communities in ICU and Non-ICU hospital wards and clarifies their transmission patterns. It finds that ICU settings have more routes for pathogen transmission from the environment to patients, and identifies several pathogenic genera that are likely to cause nosocomial infections.

Combatting resistance: Understanding multi-drug resistant pathogens in intensive care units

Jianying Teng, Saber Imani, Aiping Zhou, Yuheng Zhao, Lailing Du, Shuli Deng, Jun Li, Qingjing Wang

Summary: The misuse and excessive utilization of antibiotics have led to the widespread dissemination of drug-resistant bacteria, posing a significant global healthcare crisis. This review emphasizes the increasing prevalence of multi-drug resistant opportunistic pathogens, particularly the ESKAPE pathogens, in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), and explores their resistance mechanisms and innovative strategies for prevention and control. It serves as an invaluable reference for future investigations in the field of antibiotic resistance.

Summary: The study aimed to identify causes of neurological consultations in level 3 adult intensive care units (ICU) over a 4-year period. Most common reasons for consultations were altered consciousness, seizure, and management and treatment. The most frequent neurological diagnoses after consultation included epileptic seizures, status epilepticus, and ischemic stroke, with a diagnostic benefit of 83.1%. Treatment changes occurred in 56.6% of patients following neurological consultation.

Neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants after randomisation to initial resuscitation with lower (FiO2 ≤0.3) or higher (FiO2 ≥0.6) initial oxygen levels. An individual patient meta-analysis

Ju Lee Oei, Vishal Kapadia, Yacov Rabi, Ola Didrik Saugstad, Denise Rook, Marijn J. Vermeulen, Nuria Boronat, Valerie Thamrin, William Tarnow-Mordi, John Smyth, Ian M. Wright, Kei Lui, Johannes B. van Goudoever, Val Gebski, Maximo Vento

Summary: In this study, resuscitation with lower or higher initial FiO2 was not associated with the risk of death or disability at 2 years in infants under 32 weeks gestation. However, the wide confidence intervals indicate that conclusive evidence is lacking, and larger randomized studies are urgently needed to further investigate the potential benefits or harms of different initial FiO2 levels on infant outcomes.

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) results from the AGITG DOCTOR trial: a randomised phase 2 trial of tailored neoadjuvant therapy for resectable oesophageal adenocarcinoma

R. Mercieca-Bebber, E. H. Barnes, K. Wilson, Z. Samoon, E. Walpole, T. Mai, S. Ackland, M. Burge, G. Dickie, D. Watson, J. Leung, T. Wang, R. Bohmer, D. Cameron, J. Simes, V Gebski, M. Smithers, J. Thomas, J. Zalcberg, A. P. Barbour

Summary: This study evaluates the patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of different treatment groups in patients with resectable oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The results show that similar proportions of patients in different treatment groups had PRO scores within 10 points of their baseline scores, indicating similar symptom experiences. However, non-responders who received docetaxel with or without radiotherapy experienced additional burden compared to responders, reflecting the longer duration of neoadjuvant treatment and additional toxicity.

Toward Incorporating Health-Related Quality of Life as Coprimary End Points in Clinical Trials: Time to Achieve Clinical Important Differences and QoL Profiles

Val Gebski, Andreas Obermair, Monika Janda

Summary: In addition to morbidity and mortality, quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome of cancer treatments. This study proposes a method to incorporate QoL as coprimary endpoints in clinical trial designs and provides metrics to evaluate QoL outcomes. The analysis of a clinical trial comparing laparoscopic and abdominal surgery for endometrial cancer showed that laparoscopic surgery had a shorter time to achieving a clinically important difference in physical and functional well-being QoL domains compared to abdominal surgery. The methods introduced in this study can help healthcare professionals counsel patients about both QoL and clinical outcomes simultaneously.

Groin Surveillance by Serial Ultrasonography Rather Than Sentinel Node Biopsy or Inguinofemoral Lymphadenectomy for Patients with Vulvar Cancer: A Pilot Study

Neville F. Hacker, Ellen L. Barlow, Glenn McNally, Stephen Morrell, Val Gebski, Andreas Obermair

Summary: Vulvar cancer is a rare disease that often leads to body image issues due to its treatment. Chronic lower limb lymphedema is a common problem after the removal of groin lymph nodes. The status of these nodes is crucial for prognosis, and most patients require groin dissection. A pilot study on 32 patients showed promising results for serial ultrasonography as a potential alternative to groin dissection in selected patients. The study achieved a high sensitivity and specificity in detecting positive nodes, supporting the need for further research on this approach.
