Association of the atherogenic index of plasma with in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis-induced coagulopathy
Others Infectious Diseases 6 min.
Sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) represents a prevalent and life-threatening complication of sepsis, substantially contributing to mortality among critically ill patients [1, 2]. Defined by dysregulated coagulation and progressive organ dysfunction, SIC has emerged as a central mediator of adverse outcomes...
Climate-driven infectious disease risks: a global scoping review of epidemiological patterns, methodological gaps, and policy imperatives
Others Infectious Diseases 4 min.
Climate change increasingly dominates the global health agenda by altering the spatiotemporal patterns of infectious diseases. A growing body of global evidence shows that rising temperatures, precipitation variability, and ecosystem disruption are reshaping disease dynamics worldwide [1, 2–3]....
The role of immunomodulatory nano systems in the treatment of sepsis: past, present, and future
Others Infectious Diseases 1 min.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and remains a leading cause of death in intensive care units. Although antimicrobials and supportive care are vital, patient outcomes are hindered by two conflicting immune states: excessive inflammation and immune...
Age-related epidemiology and outcomes of sepsis in Japanese critical care units: a nationwide administrative claims database study
Others Infectious Diseases 5 min.
The global population is aging at an unprecedented rate, leading to a growing number of elderly individuals requiring critical care. This demographic shift has resulted in a substantial rise in the proportion of the “oldest old” (≥ 85 years) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs),...
Sepsis and septic shock case identification from electronic health records: an open-source workflow and comparison of cohorts by criteria
Others Infectious Diseases 5 min.
The 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines strongly recommend healthcare systems use a performance improvement program for sepsis, including sepsis screening [1]. Identification of patients (cases) with sepsis underpins these programs. Yet, multiple clinical criteria exist to operationalize the definitions...
