Newest firstIntensive care units (ICUs) manage critically ill patients whose clinical outcomes rely on timely and accurate decision-making. Predictive modeling using electronic health records (EHRs) has shown promise in forecasting adverse events such as in-hospital mortality. However, constructing robust and generalizable models typically requires large-scale, multi-institutional datasets. Privacy regulations such as HIPAA a…
Open article record in new tab ↗Vulnerable patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting are at high risk of infection from bacteria including gut-colonising Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species. Complex ICU procedures often depend on successful antimicrobial treatment, underscoring the importance of understanding the extent of patient colonisation by multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) in large UK ICUs. Previous work on ICUs globally un…

ObjectivesExternal validation of the score in the setting of a large Saudi Arabian ICU. MethodRetrospective chart review of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU of King Saud Medica…
Open article record in new tab ↗IntroductionPoint-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has the potential to transform healthcare delivery in the era of COVID-19 with its diagnostic and therapeutic expediency. It can be performed by clinicians already at the bedside, which permits an immediate and augmented assessment of a patient. Although lung ultrasound can be used to accurately diagnose a variety of disease states such as pneumothorax, pleural effusion…
Open article record in new tab ↗European healthcare systems face extreme pressure from COVID-19. We estimate such pressure by relating both country-specific accumulated COVID-19 deaths (intensity-approach) and active COVID-19 cases (magnitude-approach) to measures of healthcare system capacity: hospital beds, healthcare workers and healthcare expenditure. On March 25, 2020 - relative to Italy on March 11- we found Spain, The Netherlands and Fran…
