Jun 21, 2022

For a study, researchers sought to identify and analyze determinants of oxygenation over time in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using Berlin definition categories. A...

Implications For Time-Limited Trials: Time-Dependent Uncertainty in Critical Care Transitions in Elderly Patients

Jun 21, 2022

The prognosis for patients with critical conditions remains difficult, especially for the elderly. Time-limited trials (TLT) were used to reduce predictive uncertainty in individual patients by monito...

Body Composition Changes in the Year Following a Critical illness

Jun 21, 2022
