Long-Term Survival Following Sepsis

Long-term survival following traumatic brain injury.

PURPOSE The study used a retrospective cohort design to establish long-term mortality rates and predictors of mortality for persons after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHOD Consecutive records of persons with moderate to severe TBI who were discharged from a large rehabilitation hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the years 1974-1984, 1988 and 1989 were reviewed.

Understanding Long-Term Outcomes Following Sepsis: Implications and Challenges

Sepsis is life-threating organ dysfunction due to infection. Incidence of sepsis is increasing and the short-term mortality is improving, generating more sepsis survivors. These sepsis survivors suffer from additional morbidities such as higher risk of readmissions, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and of death, for years following index sepsis episode. In the first year following i...

Predictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...

Survival of Trypanosoma evansi, Theileria mutans, Babesia bigemina and Anaplasms marginale following long term maintenance at - 70°C

Perioperative mortality and long-term survival following live kidney donation.

CONTEXT More than 6000 healthy US individuals every year undergo nephrectomy for the purposes of live donation; however, safety remains in question because longitudinal outcome studies have occurred at single centers with limited generalizability. OBJECTIVES To study national trends in live kidney donor selection and outcome, to estimate short-term operative risk in various strata of live don...
