Abstract:
This study aimed to clarify whether the influence of undernutrition status and the degree of glycemic disorders affected the prognosis of patients with sepsis. A total of 307 adult patients with sepsis were retrospectively enrolled and analyzed. Characteristics, including nutrition status, calculated according to the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score of survivors and non-survivors, were examined. The independent prognostic factors of these patients with sepsis were extracted using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The CONUT scores in three glycemic categories were compared. Most patients with sepsis (94.8%) in the study had an undernutrition status according to their CONUT scores. High CONUT scores (odds ratio, 1.214; p = 0.002), indicating a poor nutritional status, were associated with high mortality. The CONUT scores in the hypoglycemic group were significantly higher than those in other groups with an undernutrition status (vs. hyperglycemic, p < 0.001; vs. intermediate glycemic, p = 0.006). The undernutrition statuses of patients with sepsis in the study scored using the CONUT were independent predictors of prognostic factors.

Abstract:
Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential value of intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC) in therapeutic efficacy and functional outcomes in patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing intravenous thrombolysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 207 patients with anterior circulation AIS who underwent intravenous thrombolysis were enrolled in this retrospective study. We divided them into three groups according to thin-slice head noncontrast computed tomography as follows: no ICAC, medial ICAC, and intimal ICAC. The differences in risk factors of different ICAC subtypes were compared, and the effect of ICAC subtype on hemorrhage transformation (HT) after intravenous thrombolysis was also evaluated. Functional outcomes were assessed at 90 days using the modified Rankin Scale. Results: Compared to the no and intimal ICAC, patients with the medial ICAC were older and more likely to have diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, previous stroke, and atrial fibrillation. Moreover, the medial ICAC group had a high baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and a high incidence of HT. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline NIHSS score (odds ratio [OR]: 1.121, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.027–1.224) was independently associated with HT. Medial ICAC (OR: 7.418, 95% CI: 1.190–46.231) and baseline NIHSS score (OR: 1.141, 95% CI: 1.042–1.250) were independent risk factors of poor functional outcome at 90 days. Conclusions: Medial ICAC could be a new imaging biomarker for predicting functional outcomes in patients with anterior circulation AIS undergoing intravenous thrombolysis. Medial ICAC and baseline NIHSS score were independently associated with poor prognosis at 90 days.

Abstract:
Background and objectives: Vascular calcification is an integral part of atherosclerosis and has been reported to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diSsease. Intra Cranial Arterial Calcifications (ICAC) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is highly prevalent. Materials and Methods: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the predictors and outcomes of ICAC in MHD patients compared to a control group without kidney disease. A blinded neuroradiologist graded ICAC in brain imaging (computerized tomography) of MHD patients. Age- and sex-matched patients with normal kidney function served as the control group. Results: A total of 280 patients were included in the cohort; 140 of them were MHD patients with a mean ICAC score of 2.3 ± 0.2 versus a mean ICAC score of 1.4 ± 0.2 in the control group (p < 0.01). More than 90% of hemodialysis patients in our study had some degree of ICAC. Lower albumin and higher phosphorus and CRP levels were associated with increased ICACs. The multivariate analysis model for predictors of 1-year mortality demonstrated an increased odds ratio for mortality as the ICAC score increased. Conclusions: ICAC is very prevalent among MHD patients and results not simply from passive deposition of calcium and phosphate but rather from complex and active processes involving inflammation and structural changes in blood vessels. ICAC independently predicted all-cause mortality and may help with risk stratification of this high-risk population.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the adaptation and validation of the Nursing Activities Score (NAS) for use in Latvian intensive care units (ICUs) to measure nursing workload. The NAS, widely used internationally, was selected for its comprehensive ability to reflect 81% of ICU nursing activities, making it a suitable tool for assessing nursing workload in the Latvian healthcare context. The study followed a two-phase methodology: (1) expert validation using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and (2) a pilot study to assess the psychometric properties of the adapted tool. In the first phase, 10 ICU nursing experts assessed the translated NAS items, resulting in revisions to three specific paragraphs (4a, 14, and 20) based on low CVI scores. After refinement, CVIs improved from 0.6 to 0.8 for paragraphs 4a and 14, and from 0.5 to 0.9 for paragraph 20. The final CVI for all items reached 0.909. In the second phase, a pilot study was conducted in a Latvian ICU with 42 patients and 226 NAS assessments. The psychometric evaluation showed strong reliability and validity, confirming the NAS’s suitability for measuring nursing workload in this context. Cronbach’s alpha for the scale was 0.973. The adapted NAS provides a standardised method for workload assessment in Latvian ICUs, offering potential improvements in nurse resource management and patient care.

Abstract:
Abstract Abstract 4669 Background: Thrombocytopenia occurs in 20–45% of critically-ill medical-surgical patients. The ‘4Ts’ HIT score (with 4 domains: Thrombocytopenia, Timing of thrombocytopenia, Thrombosis and oTher reason for thrombocytopenia) might reliably identify patients at low risk of HIT. Agreement on 4Ts scoring is uncertain in this setting. Objective: To compare 4Ts HIT scores among research coordinators (who scored real-time), and 2 adjudicators (who scored retrospectively, independently) during an international heparin thromboprophylaxis trial. Methods: 763 of 3746 medical-surgical ICU patients in PROTECT met enrolment criteria in this HIT substudy, if any of the following occurred: platelets <50×109/L, platelets decreased to 50% of ICU admission value, venous thrombosis, or if HIT was otherwise clinically suspected. Persons independently completed 4Ts scores blinded to all laboratory HIT results and each others' scores. 475 of these patients had a central or local laboratory HIT test performed and had 4Ts scoring by adjudicators; 432 were scored by research coordinators. Results: Most patients (410, 86.3%) had a 4Ts score ≤3 conferring a low pretest probability (PTP) of HIT whereas 57 (12.0%) had a moderate PTP, and 8 (1.7%) had a high PTP, as determined by adjudicator consensus. Raw agreement on the 4Ts score was good for central adjudicators overall; however, agreement between adjudicated consensus scores and real time research coordinator scores was not as high. 4Ts agreement (raw and chance-corrected) is presented below. Conclusions: Real time 4Ts scoring by research coordinators was reasonably close to that obtained by calibrated central adjudicators, suggesting the 4Ts score is somewhat reliable at the bedside when performed by trained personnel. The fourth domain of 4Ts (oTher causes of thrombocytopenia) generated the most disagreement. Further studies of 4Ts scoring by bedside clinicians is needed.

Abstract:
Background: The Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), which is obtained from a combination of C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum albumin level, predicts poor prognoses in many cancer types. Systemic inflammation also plays an important role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of inflammation-based GPS on in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients hospitalized in intensive cardiovascular care unit (ICCU). Methods: A total of 1004 consecutive patients admitted to ICCU were included in the study, and patients were divided into three groups based on albumin and CRP values as GPS 0, 1, and 2. Patients’ demographic, clinic, and laboratory findings were recorded. In-hospital and one-year mortality rates were compared between groups. Results: Mortality occurred in 109 (10.8%) patients in in-hospital period, 82 (8.1%) patients during follow-up period, and thus, cumulative mortality occurred in 191 (19.0%) patients. Patients with a high GPS score had a higher rate of comorbidities and represented increased inflammatory evidence. In the multivariate regression model there was independent association with in-hospital mortality in GPS 1 patients compared to GPS 0 patients (Odds ratio, (OR); 5.52, 95% CI: 1.2–16.91, p = 0.025) and in GPS 2 patients compared to GPS 0 patients (OR; 7.01, 95% CI: 1.39–35.15, p = 0.018). A higher GPS score was also associated with a prolonged ICCU and hospital stay, and increased re-hospitalization in the follow-up period. Conclusion: Inflammation based GPS is a practical tool in the prediction of worse prognosis both in in-hospital and one-year follow-up periods in ICCU patients.

Abstract:
This note proposes the continuous treatment approach as a valuable alternative to propensity score matching for evaluating economic effects of merger and acquisitions (M&As). This framework allows considering the variation in treatment intensities explicitly, and it does not call for an arbitrary definition of cutoff values in traded ownership shares to construct a binary treatment indicator. We demonstrate the usefulness of this approach using data from European M&As and by relying on the example of post-M&A employment effects. The empirical exercise reveals some heterogeneities over the whole distribution of acquired ownership shares and across different types of M&As and country groups.

Abstract:
Les infections nosocomiales demeurent un véritable défi de santé publique en dépit des progrès techniques considérables enregistrés. Inhérentes à la prise en charge de soins, se sont les services de réanimation qui comptabilisent les plus fort taux de prévalence. En effet, quelle que soit leur orientation (chirurgicale, médicale ou mixte), ces services, ont pour mission la prise en charge des patients dont le processus vital est menacé par la survenue brutale d’une ou de plusieurs défaillances organiques nécessitant un arsenal diagnostic et/ou thérapeutique souvent invasif.Parmi les conséquences induites par ces infections ; i) l’allongement de la durée de séjour, ii) le surcoût, iii) une augmentation de la mortalité, et iv) la résistance bactérienne.Pouvoir anticiper en amont et en aval cette problématique aux motifs complexes et aux conséquences parfois fatales serait un atout majeur au profit des patients et un outil stratégique pour les équipes soignantes.Organisée autour de trois étapes charnières, la présente étude s’est d’abord attelée à la phasede l’identification des facteurs de risque de l’évènement nosocomial et de mortalité au service de réanimation ou s’est passé l’étude –prise en compte du case-mix du service de réanimation CHU la TIMONE-. Réalisée grâce à deux méthodes statistiques différentes à savoir la régression logistique et la méthode des risques compétitifs. L’étape suivante a consisté dans un premier temps à comparer les capacités prédictives des scores APACHE II, LOD, SOFA et SAPS II chez ces patients -hospitalisés en réanimation-ayant développé un épisode nosocomial. Dans un second temps de déterminer si la variation des scores LOD, SOFA, APACHEII et SAPS II est un facteur pronostique du risque nosocomial. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que la meilleure performance prédictive est objectivée au profit du SOFA et que seule la variation de ce même score entre le premier jour d’hospitalisation et celui du diagnostic de l’infection nosocomiale mesurée grâce à l’AUC est prédictive du risque nosocomial.À l’issue de ces étapes et au moyen des résultats obtenus une construction d’un score prédictif est réalisée grâce à la méthode de régression logistique. L’objectif de ce score est d’éclairer voire d’influencer le prescripteur lors de ses prises de décisions ou d’éventuelle démarche d’ajustement de ses conduites thérapeutiques<br>Limiting nosocomial infections is still a health challenge although the technical development has improved. They are inherent in medical care and the health care services have the highest prevalence. Indeed, whatever the service (surgical, medical or both), the patients life-giving process is under attack because of the emergence of one or several organ faillures;This generates a diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal which is often invasive.Among the consequences resulting from these infections we will take into account :i) a longer stay in hospitalii) an extra costiii) a higher mortality rateiv) bacterial resistance .If we could anticipate upstream and downstream this issue with complex origins and sometimes fatal consequences, it would be a major asset for patients and a strategic tool for medical teams.The present study is organized in three parts, and first focusses onto the identification of the nosocomial event and death risk factors in intensive care where the study took place. We took into account the the case-mix of the intensive care unit in the TIMONE University Hospital. The study was made with two different statistic methods that is logistic regression and the competitive risks method.The next step first consisted in comparing the predictive capacities of the APACHE II, LOD, SOFA and SAPS II scores in nosocomial patients hospitalized in intensive care . Then it tried to determine if the variation of the LOD, SOFA, APACHEII and SAPS II scores was a prognostic risk factor.Results showed that the best predictive performance was objectively measured by the SOFA and that only the variation of this score between the first day in hospital and the day of the diagnosis of a nosocomial infection, calculated thanks to the AUC, could be predictive of a nosocomal risk. After these steps, and with the results calculated , the construction of a predictive score could be established thanks to the logistic regression method. The objective of this score is to help, or even influence the prescribing doctors when they take decisions or when they try to adjust their therapeutic practices

Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence has prompted a shearexplosion of new research initiatives and applications, improving notonly existing technologies, but also opening up opportunities for newand exiting applications. This thesis explores the MIMIC-III intensive care unit database and conducts experiment on an interpretable feature space based on sever-ty scores, defining a patient health state, commonly used to predict mortality in an ICU setting. Patient health state trajectories are clustered and correlated with administered medication and performed procedures to get a better understanding of the potential usefulness in evaluating treatments on their effect on said health state, where commonalities and deviations in treatment can be understood. Furthermore, medication and procedure classification is carried out to explore their predictability using the severity subscore feature space.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária<br>Os cuidados de saúde prestados tanto em Medicina Humana como em Veterinária estão em constante evolução e modernização e, como tal, um bom clínico deve estar em aprendizagem contínua de modo a poder praticar a sua profissão da melhor maneira possível elevando ao máximo a qualidade de serviço prestado ao seu cliente e respectivo proprietário. A Medicina Intensiva, representa uma área dedicada à monitorização constante de pacientes em condições não fisiológicas reversíveis que ameaçam uma ou mais funções vitais e que, por tal, necessitam de acompanhamento médico intensivo. A prestação de cuidados intensivos é geralmente realizada numa área específica dos establecimentos hospitalares denominada Unidade de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Estas, deverão estar equipadas com uma vasta gama de equipamentos e materiais que tornem as tarefas de monotorização e intervenções terapêuticas o mais rápidas e eficazes possíveis com o mínimo de manipulação animal. O staff da UCI, tanto médicos veterinários como enfermeiros e auxiliares, deve estar devidamente treinado e qualificado, inclusivé acreditado, para trabalhar nesta secção do hospital. São inúmeras as doenças que beneficiam com uma estadia numa UCI nomeadamente aquelas que afectam os sistemas cardiovascular, respiratório, neurológico, gástrico, renal e hematológico. Um sistema de triagem funcional é essencial no diagnóstico precoce e respectivo internamento nas UCIs. Sistemas de scores humanos adaptados à Medicina Veterinária poderão ser implementados de modo a estimar a evolução terapêutica, tempo de recuperação e prognóstico dos pacientes críticos internados. De referir que as UCIs deverão ser destinadas a pacientes com condições reversíveis e nunca como unidades de tratamento paliativo ou geriátrico. Em Portugal, esta área da Medicina Veterinária surgiu muito recentemente e, apesar de já existirem algumas unidades espalhadas pelo país, muitas delas encontram-se incompletas em termos de equipamentos e materiais e carecem de qualificação do staff que nela trabalha. Os custos fixos e variáveis inerentes à sua implementação inicial e funcionamento regular são elevados mas devem ser encarados como necessários em ambiente hospitalar.<br>ABSTRACT - The importance of implementing an Intensive Care Unit in a hospital ambit - In Veterinary Medicine, just like in Human Medicine, the level of health care is in constant evolution and development which makes it important for the veterinary practitioner to accompany this modernization process in order to maximize the quality of his or her craft regarding the patient and its owner. Intensive Care Medicine is one of the many branches of Veterinary Medicine dedicated to the continuous monitoring and treatment of patients with reversible non physiological conditions that threaten one or more vital parameters and that require round the clock care. The practicing of Intensive Care Medicine is done in a specific area of a hospital called the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). These units should be equipped with a great variety of equipment and materials that allow fast and effective monitoring and therapeutic interventions with minimal animal handling in order to minimize patient stress and prognosis aggravation. The staff working in these ICUs should ideally be board certified physicians or at least have some proper training and experience in the field. A great number of medical conditions benefit greatly from a short term admission and stay in the ICU, especially those involving the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, neurological and hematological systems. An effective triage system is a key factor in the early diagnoses and treatment process of critically ill patients. Human scoring systems, adapted to Veterinary Medicine, can be implemented in order to predict therapeutic evolution, recovery time and prognosis of critical patients. ICUs should not be used for terminal, palliative or geriatric care. In Portugal, this branch of Veterinary Medicine is only now, very recently, been tapped in to. A few hospital units have begun to offer this type of service, however, their facilities lack in equipment and staff qualification and knowledge. The costs involving the initial equipping of the ICUs are high as well as the monthly expenses concerning the staffing of the unit itself and materials consumed but should be looked upon as an important mean to optimize patient care.

Includes bibliographical references.<br>The United Nations was established to promote international peace and security and has become the world's most important peacekeeper and safeguard of human rights.1 Due to the increasing number of attacks against those who keep the peace in practice, the international community felt the urgent need for a better protection for its peacekeeping personnel.2 Therefore, attacks against peacekeepers have been incorporated in Article 8(2)(b)(iii) and (e)(iii) of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC-Statute) as well as later in Article 4(b) of the Statute of the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL-Statute). The incorporation of attacks against peacekeepers in the ICC-Statute was not the only novelty. It is the first international criminal code that provides a general part which explicitly includes the principle of legality (Articles 22- 24 ICC-Statute) and its component of specificity (nullum crime sine lege scripta) (Article 22(2) ICC-Statute). It is the aim of this paper to examine whether the war crimes of intentionally directed attacks against peacekeepers, in its current version, meets the requirement of specificity. This paper will argue that the notion of the principle of legality (nullum crime sine lege) in the ICC-Statute witnesses a development from a loose to a strict application of this principle, and its components. Due to the limitation of this paper, the discussion will focus on the most controversial elements of crime, namely "attack", "peacekeeping mission in accordance with the U.N. Charter" and "as long as they are entitled to the protection afforded to civilians under IHL." I will argue that the elements "attack" and "as long as they are entitled to the protection afforded to civilians under IHL" cannot be clearly defined and that their scope is controversy, which makes it impossible for the subject of law to determine whether certain behaviour has a criminal conduct. This paper will conclude that the current versions of Article 8(2)(b)(iii), (e)(iii) and Article 4(b) SCSL-Statute are consequently violating the principle of specificity, which makes them void. The conclusion will offer a possible lawful version.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>高階經營管理碩士在職專班<br>102<br>ABSTRACT APACHE Ⅱ score has been used as a tool for evaluation of severity of illness for ICU patients for three decades. It is also used for predicting the mortality rate for ICU patients. Different scoring system were developed over the years, however APACHE Ⅱwas the most popular one been used among all. APACHE Ⅱ was developed by Knaus et al in 1985. The scoring system is primarily based on acute physiology score, age and chronic health evaluation, which can be added up and using the total score to predict mortality rate. However, whether the scoring system can be used in all levels of medical facilities in Taiwan still need to be evaluated. There may be a possibility that predicting mortality can be achieved by fewer items. We have collected 323 patients who were admitted to medical ICU from Jan, 1st.2013 to Dec, 31st. 2013 at a regional teaching hospital in northern Taiwan to evaluate their Apache score in 24 hours and their end results of this admission. The end results of this study revealed: 1.The higher Apache score is, the lower the survival rate. One point higher in Apache score decreases the survival by 0.013 with the accuracy rate of 0.839. 2. The survival rate decreases as every one point the APS increases by 0.013 with the accuracy rate of 0.842. 3. There are four single items , mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, GCS coma scale, and arterial oxygenation are significant correlated with survival rate, the higher the score the lower the survival rate, with different marginal effects.

Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺北護理健康大學<br>護理研究所<br>104<br>The job stress of nurses not only causes the exhaustion of physical and mental health, but also directly influences the quality of patient care. However, due to the severity of patient illness, working at the intensive care unit is definitely stressful than those who work at the general wards. This study was designed to investigate the correlation between the severity of ICU patients and job stress of nurse and identify the factors of job stress. This study adopted cross - sectional study design and utilized structured questionnaire as a research tool. Purposive sampling was applied to select ICU nurses of teaching hospitals in east area. The data of 81 samples were collected by the investigator personally. The data collection tools were mainly structured questionnaire, including personal information of ICU nurses, APACHE II scale, and nurse stress scale. Knaus et al.'s APACHE II scale, published in 1982, was used as assessment tool of the severity of ICU patients. Nurses stress scale, published in 1996, was used to assess job stress of ICU nurses. The correlation analysis of disease severity and job stress was not significant (p > .05). This result might reflect the gap between urban and rural areas, the severity of patients were different. However, the analysis of a regression model found that patient severity played a moderation effect between characteristics of nurses and the four factors of job stress (personal response, work concerns, competence, and pressure of being not able to complete personal affairs).

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>中山醫學大學<br>醫學研究所<br>96<br>Background: Some scoring system have been used to predict the treatment outcome or mortality rate for the critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), such as acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score；sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) score；multiple organ dysfunction system (MODS) score、logistic organ dysfunction system (LODS) score. Other methods which are used to evaluate the severity of acute illness are also useful to predict the treatment outcome or disease-associated mortality, such as pneumonia severity index (PSI) for the community-acquired pneumonia；clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) for the nosocomial pneumonia/ ventilator- associated pneumonia, Ranson criteria for the acute pancreatitis。 However, these methods are usually complicated and need to monitor many factors. Nowadays, there was no study to evaluate clinically practical value when use a single factor to predict the treatment outcome or mortality for ICU patients. Study objectives: In this study we wish to examine the practical value when serum level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used as a single factor to predict the treatment outcome or mortality for critically ill patients who were admitted to medical ICU. Design and setting: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 273 patients who were admitted to medical ICU in Chung-Shan University Hospital from the beginning to the end of 2007. The serum levels of LDH and C-reacting protein (CRP) as well as APACHE II score were reviewed and were used to examine the treatment outcome and mortality for these critically ill patients. Results: By the difference of patient source, those patients who were transferred from ordinary ward had significantly higher serum levels of LDH and CRP than those from emergency room, p=0.006, p=0.03 respectively, but there was no statistic difference in APACHE II score, p=0.057. By the results of mortality, serum LDH level and APACHE II score were significantly higher in the mortality group than in the survival group (p&amp;lt;0.001, p&amp;lt;0.001), but there was no difference between these two groups in CRP (p=0.499). To the survivals, only APACHE II score were significantly higher in patients who were transferred to respiratory care center (RCC) than in patients who were referred to ordinary ward (p=0.008). There was no statistic difference in serum level of LDH and CRP (p=0.737, p=0.815). By the results of the Pearson correlation analysis for mortality, APACHE II score has the most strong correlation (r=0.359), and followed by LDH (r=0.218), but no correlation with CRP (r=0.026). The same results were also acquired from the Logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Both serum levels of LDH and APACHE II score were significantly higher in patients of ICU mortality than in survivals. Although APACHE II score had higher correlation with mortality than LDH, when used LDH as a singer predictor for mortality, the results were acceptable. These findings suggest that it is a simple and useful way in monitoring the outcome of ICU patients by regular follow-up of serum level of LDH.

Abstract:
The general outcome prediction models were not, by design, developed to track individual patients. They provided an indication of death risks for groups of ICU patients. Hence, investigators created organ failure scores. Instruments, such as Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score, or Logistic Organ Dysfunction Score are designed to evaluate separately the six most important organ systems in critically-ill patients sequentially, taken on a daily basis. Easy to perform, designed to be done at bedside, they do not forecast ICU or hospital mortality (apart from the SOFA score), but are very useful in describing the patient and his response to therapy.

Full text
Abstract:
Scoring systems for critically-ill patients provide a measure of the severity of illness of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). They are primarily based on patient characteristics, physiological derangement, and/or clinical assessments. Severity scores themselves allow for risk-adjusting outcomes, but they can also be used to provide a prediction of the overall risk of death, length of stay, or other outcome for critically ill patients. This allows for comparison of outcomes between different cohorts of patients or between observed and predicted ICU performance. There are a number of general ICU scoring systems that are in use. All scoring systems have limitations. Future scoring systems may include prediction of longer-term outcomes, and assimilation of granular data temporally and at the molecular level that could result in more personalized severity scores to help guide individual care decisions.

Full text
Abstract:
To say that a patient has a ‘right’ is to say both that the patient has a ‘claim’ against the clinician for X and that the clinician owes a correlative ‘duty’ to X to the patient. Patient rights are only prima facie valid claims that must sometimes yield to other sufficiently compelling claims. Overriding a right can be either justified (an ‘infringement’) or unjustified (a ‘violation’). This chapter explains the nature and source of patient rights; analyses the scope of patient rights; describes five specific patient rights that are particularly relevant to critical care; discusses three key ways in which patient rights might be illegitimately violated; discusses how patient rights might be justifiably infringed by distributive justice concerns; discusses how patient rights might be justifiably infringed by clinicians’ assertion of their own rights, either on the basis of professional integrity or on the basis of personal conscience-based objections; and concludes by describing four leading mechanisms by which patient rights are balanced against clinician rights. Patient–clinician conflicts usually can be prevented or mediated. When conflict is intractable, it should be resolved through appeal to socially-accepted rules or managed through a fair process of dispute resolution.

Full text
Abstract:
Patients with haematological malignancies require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to the underlying disease, as a consequence of treatment with chemotherapy or after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. With an increasing numbers of patients being diagnosed with these diseases and longer survival as treatments improve, the burden on ICU is anticipated to increase. There is compelling evidence that patients should not be denied admission to ICU based on the presence of a haematological malignancy. In this chapter the disease- and treatment-related reasons for ICU admission, outcome, and risk prediction scores for patients with haematological malignancies are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Clinical outcome comparisons for research and quality assurance require risk adjustment measures validated in the population of interest. There are many scoring systems using intensive care unit (ICU)-specific or administrative data sets, or both. Risk-adjusted ICU and hospital mortality outcome measures may be not granular enough or may be censored before the absolute risk of the studied outcome reaches that of the population at large. Data linkage methods may be used to examine longer-term outcomes. Organ failure scores provide a method for assessing the intra-episode time course of illness and scores using treatment variables may be useful for assessing care requirements. Each adjustment system has specific merits and limitations, which must be understood for appropriate use. Graphical representations of the comparisons facilitate understanding and time-appropriate response to variations in outcome. There are, as yet, no universally-accepted measures for severity of illness and risk adjustment in deteriorating patients outside the ICU.

Full text
Abstract:
Article 21 of the Rome Statute sets out a complex system of sources of applicable law. In addition to the Statute itself, which contains a relatively detailed list of crimes, Articles 21 includes the Elements of Crimes, a very detailed document which unnecessarily limits the scope of the crimes listed in the Statute and reveals mistrust with regard to the Court, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and the case law of the Court, despite the absence of stare decisis. In order to avoid risks of non liquet, Article 21 also refers to other norms and rules of international law. Article 21 establishes a hierarchy between the sources of law it refers to. It combines a formal hierarchy, on top of which lays the Statute, with a substantial hierarchy dominated by ‘internationally recognized human rights’ (Article 21(3)).

Full text
Abstract:
Self-referrals have been one of the trademarks of early complementarity practice of the ICC. What they all have in common is that governments contend that they are unable to conduct fair and effective criminal proceedings against non-state actors over whom they do not wield control, and therefore seek the assistance of the ICC. This chapter investigates how the ICC has reacted to these claims of inability, and demonstrates that the ICC has largely side-stepped the issue by holding that a state’s inactivity renders a situation admissible and precludes any assessment of its unwillingness or inability. The ICC provided more clarity on inability and its parameters in a decision on Libya’s challenge to the Court’s jurisdiction, but the tools of the ICC to move against non-state actors remain defective-at least outside the scope of armed conflicts. This invites a reconsideration of substantive parts of the Rome Statute (e.g. in relation to terrorism).

Full text
Abstract:
The issue of the exercise of the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) jurisdiction over sitting heads of state is one of the major bones of contention in the tense relationship between the ICC and Africa. Legally, the disagreement revolves around the interpretation of the two rules of the Rome Statute, that is, article 27(2) and article 98(1), concerning the personal immunities. The Al Bashir and Kenyatta cases constitute the litmus test with which the analysis of these rules of the Rome Statute can be carried out to clarify the scope and purport of these two provisions. The Al Bashir case raises two different issues: (i) whether the same immunities preclude the ICC from exercising its adjudicatory jurisdiction over a sitting head of state of a non-member state; (ii) if this is not the case, whether the ICC member states are obliged under the Rome Statute to execute the request by the ICC to arrest and surrender him.

Full text
Abstract:
The jurisdictional regime of the ICC frames the entire process within which the proceedings are conducted. It determines the statutory scope of the Court’s competence, and also identifies the nexus between specific alleged acts and a situation that has been referred by a State Party or the Security Council or which has been authorized by the Pre-Trial Chamber, thus shaping the competence of the ICC to exercise its jurisdiction in a particular case. This chapter examines jurisdictional issues arising from each of the four facets of the Court’s jurisdiction, namely, subject matter, and personal, territorial, and temporal jurisdiction. It argues that jurisdiction may raise its head in many and multiple guises, in ways not dissimilar to those treated variously in other areas of public international law and domestic criminal law.

Abstract:
Abstract Since the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 1998, international criminal law has rapidly grown in importance. This fully updated new edition of the third volume of a Treatise on International Criminal Law offers a comprehensive analysis of the procedures and implementation of international law by international criminal tribunals and the ICC. Through analysis of the framework of international criminal procedure, this volume considers each stage in the process of proceedings before the ICC, including the role of legal participants, the scope of jurisdiction, and the enforcement of sentences. This new edition has been expanded to include updated case law and relevant scholarly literature. Among others, it contains new (sub)sections on non-judicial investigative mechanisms, special forms of digital evidence, the ‘submission approach’ to material and information, trial management, and political elements within the ‘interests of justice’. The full three-volume Treatise addresses the entirety of international criminal law, re-stating and re-examining the fundamental principles upon which it rests, the manner in which it is enacted, and the key issues that are shaping its future. It is essential reading for practitioners, scholars, and students of international criminal law alike.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical condition that affects many patients in ICUs due to its high incidence and severity, usually caused by traffic accidents, falls and assaults. The literature review highlights that the majority of patients are young men, with severe injuries often measured by the Glasgow Coma Score. The adoption of standardized protocols and multidisciplinary approaches in the ICU has been shown to improve clinical outcomes, reducing mortality and complications associated with TBI.

Abstract:
This work aims to predict in-hospital mortality in the open-source Physionet ICU database from features extracted from the time series of physiological variables using neural network models and other machine learning techniques. We developed an effective and efficient greedy algorithm for feature selection, reducing the number of potential features from 205 to a best subset of only 47. The average of five trials of 10-fold cross validation shows an accuracy of (86.23±0.14)%, a sensitivity of (50.29±0.22)%, a specificity of (92.01 ± 0.21)%, a positive prediction value of (50.29±0.50)%, a negative prediction value of (92.01±0.00)%, and a Lemeshow score of 119.55±9.87. By calibrating the predicted mortality probability using an optimization approach, we can improve the Lemeshow score to 27.51±4.38. The developed model has the potential for application in ICU machines to improve the quality of care and to evaluate the effect of treatment or drugs.

Review question / Objective: The scope of this review was defined using PICOTS framework where 1) population: adult critically ill patients with sepsis or septic shock; 2) index prognostic factor: cell surface protein expression of mHLA-DR in blood; 3) comparative factor: none; 4) outcomes to be predicted: mortality, secondary infections, length of stay, and organ dysfunction score (sequential organ failure assessment [SOFA], multiple organ dysfunction score [MODS], logistic organ dysfunction score [LODS]), composite outcomes where component endpoints consist of at least one of the outcomes stated above (e.g., “adverse outcome” defined as death or secondary infection), 5) timing (of the prediction horizon and the moment of prognosis): any; and 6) setting: ICU. Condition being studied: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to severe infections. It can further progress to septic shock, which includes hemodynamic failure and increased mortality rates. A recent worldwide epidemiological study estimated 48.9 million sepsis cases and 11 million of sepsis-related deaths (~20% of global deaths in 2017). Although its management has advanced considerably, sepsis remains deadly and challenging to treat. The 28/30-day mortality averages around 25% for sepsis and 38% for septic shock in high-income countries. Current models describe the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of sepsis as an interplay between concurrent dysfunctional pro- and anti-inflammatory immune response.

Abstract:
Background Burnout is endemic to nursing and carries high personal, institutional, and social costs. Methods Previous studies have demonstrated that yoga may alleviate burnout in healthcare workers. A yoga-based intervention was created specifically for ICU nurses. The program was offered to all nurses working in critical care environments through recruitment emails and fliers. 28 nurses participated, but a high attrition rate led to only 9 people completing both the pre-and-posttest survey. Power analysis of 30 participants was not met and statistical significance could not be established, however, differences illustrated by non-parametric testing indicate potential clinical relevance. Results Pre-and-posttest Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scores were compared via Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Depersonalization and Personal Achievement domains of the MBI showed no difference, but there was a difference in SUM and MEAN/AVE Emotional Exhaustion scores (Z = -2.129, p = 0.33) and (Z = -2.113, p= 0.035), respectively. NDNQI data were collected before and after the intervention to determine if there was a change in nurse-sensitive patient outcomes and assessed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, showing no appreciable difference. Conclusions This pilot program reinforced that yoga may be a useful intervention in addressing burnout, however, the high attrition rate suggests that it is likely not a feasible option for most nurses. IRB Approval IRB approval through expedited review. Co-Authors: Dr. Nancy Birtley, Dr. Miriam Butler, and Alexandria Phillips Objective The purpose of this QI project was to explore the efficacy and feasibility of yoga as an intervention for ICU nurse burnout.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Lorazepam and other benzodiazepines (BZDs) are considered the first choice for treatment of Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). But they have significant addiction potential and can cause fatal respiratory depression if used in large doses. The aim of our study is to conduct a network meta-analysis to provide some data support for the clinical treatment of AWS. The patients were persons with alcohol withdrawal. The intervention being studied must be a comparison of the efficacy of the two pharmacologic treatments. The study should not be included if two pharmacologic treatments belonging to the same category were compared. All studies must include one of the following outcomes: Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment, revised (CIWA-Ar) score, length of hospital stay, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and the incidence of delirium or seizures. Condition being studied: Side effects and safety of eleven types of agents currently used to treat alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Review question / Objective: What is the effectiveness of Early Tracheostomy compared with Late Tracheostomy Or Prolonged Orotracheal Intubation in Traumatic Brain Injury? Eligibility criteria: The inclusion criteria are (P) studies with patients above 18 years old, male or female, who had a severe traumatic brain injury and who need advanced airway support; (I) patient undergoing early tracheostomy (less than 10 days of orotraqueal intubation); (C) patient undergoing late tracheostomy (after 10 days of orotraqueal intubation) or undergoing prolonged intubation; (O) With data about mortality, time on ICU stay, on Hospital stay and time free of mechanical ventilation, complications related a health care services (pneumonia, septicemia, candidemia, Pressure ulcers, thromboembolic events and time using antibiotics), Quality of life (scores about neurological functions); e (S) Systematic reviews. No language restrictions. The exclusion criteria are data about mortality without data about time and follow up (In Hospital or after discharge?). We will contact the authors of studies without data enough to make a decision or without full text available, If we do not have answers we will exclude the study.
