BACKGROUND Hypomagnesaemia is associated with other electrolyte abnormalities like hypokalaemia, hyponatremia, and hypophosphatemia. We wanted to study the serum magnesium levels in critically ill patients, and correlate the serum magnesium levels with patient outcome and other parameters like duration of stay in ICU, ventilator support and APACHE-II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II) score. METHODS The study included all the cases admitted in the ICU of Narayan Medical College & Hospital, with variable medical conditions within 6 months fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Demographic data (age and sex), medical history, surgical history, medications administrated and length of ICU stay were recorded for each patient. The severity scoring system used was Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II (APACHE-II). RESULTS Prevalence of Hypomagnesaemia in the present study was 60.2 %. Mortality and mechanical ventilator support (2.7 % and 28.4 %) in normomagnesemia subjects were significantly lesser than hypomagnesaemia subjects (33.9 % and 54.5 % respectively). CONCLUSIONS Hypomagnesaemia is a common electrolyte imbalance in critically ill patients. It is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in critically ill patients and is also associated with more frequent and more prolonged ventilatory support.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a incidência de eventos adversos e associá-los com a carga de trabalho de enfermagem, o dimensionamento da equipe de enfermagem e o perfil de gravidade do paciente. Métodos Foi realizado um estudo transversal, prospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa, em 304 pacientes consecutivos internados em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva geral de um hospital privado, admitidos entre setembro e dezembro de 2013 (quatro meses). Resultados Ocorreram 39 eventos adversos sendo a lesão por pressão a mais prevalente. Os pacientes que apresentaram algum evento tiveram maior média de idade, maior prevalência de internações clínicas, internações mais prolongadas, maior escala Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, maior pontuação do Nursing Activities Score (NAS), menor escore na escala de Braden e menor escala de Glasgow e não tiveram diferenças significantes em relação ao dimensionamento da equipe de enfermagem. Conclusão Houve maior incidência de eventos adversos em pacientes que exibiram um perfil de maior risco e gravidade identificados por meio de escalas preditoras.

OBJETIVO: Bacteriemia es la forma invasiva más común de neumonía adquirida en la comunidad (NAC) por Streptococcus pneumoniae. Investigamos si la bacteriemia en NAC neumocócica empeora los resultados y si ella guarda relación con la vacunación antineumocócica (VAN). MÉTODOS: Análisis secundario de una cohorte de pacientes con NAC neumocócica confirmada por cultivo de sangre o esputo o antígeno urinario. Se registraron datos demográficos, clínicos, radiográficos y de laboratorio, escores Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) y pneumonia severity index (PSI), comorbilidades y antecedente de VAN. Se compararon pacientes con NAC neumocócica bacteriémica (NNB) vs. no bacteriémica (NNNB). RESULTADOS: Cuarenta y siete pacientes tenían NNB y 71 NNNB (45 por cultivo de esputo y 26 por antígeno urinario); 107 tenían alguna indicación de VAN. Ningún paciente con NNB, pero 9 con NNNB, habían recibido VAN (p = 0,043). Los pacientes con NNB eran mayores (76,4 ± 11,5 vs. 67,5 ± 20,9 años), tenían mayor APACHE II (16,4 ± 4,6 vs. 14,1 ± 6,5) y PSI (129,5 ± 36 vs. 105,2 ± 45), más frecuentemente cardiopatía e insuficiencia renal crónica e internación en UTI (42,5% vs. 22,5%) y menor hematocrito (35,7 ± 5,8 vs. 38,6 ± 6,7%) y sodio plasmático (133,9 ± 6,0 vs. 137,1 ± 5,5 mEq/L). La mortalidad fue similar (29,8% vs. 28,2%). CONCLUSIONES: Los niveles de VAN (8,4%) en esta población con alto riesgo de NAC por S. pneumoniae fueron extremadamente bajos. Los pacientes con NNB estaban más graves, pero la mortalidad fue similar entre los dos grupos. La VAN reduce la incidencia de NNB y es razonable incrementar el nivel de vacunación de la población en riesgo.

OBJETIVO: Descrever as características clínicas, os dados laboratoriais e o desfecho clínico de pacientes sépticos e não sépticos admitidos em UTI de um hospital privado na cidade de Salvador, Bahia, e identificar variáveis clínicas relacionadas ao pior prognóstico dos pacientes sépticos. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo longitudinal que incluiu todos os pacientes admitidos na UTI geral do Hospital Português, Salvador (BA), entre junho de 2008 e março de 2009. Na admissão na UTI, dois grupos de pacientes foram identificados: sépticos e não sépticos. Foram coletados dados epidemiológicos, clínicos e laboratoriais, e o escore Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) foi calculado. RESULTADOS: Dos 144 pacientes do estudo, 29 (20,1%) eram sépticos. Entre os pacientes sépticos, 55,2% eram do sexo masculino, a média de idade foi de 73,1 ± 14,6 anos, e a média do escore do APACHE II foi de 23,8 ± 9,1. No grupo não séptico, 36,3% eram do sexo masculino, a média de idade foi de 68,7 ± 17,7 anos, e a média do escore do APACHE II foi de 18,4 ± 9,5. Houve associações estatisticamente significantes entre o diagnóstico de sepse e as seguintes variáveis: escore do APACHE II, mortalidade na UTI, mortalidade hospitalar, FC, pressão arterial média, valor de hematócrito, contagem de leucócitos e uso de antibioticoterapia. O uso de medidas de suporte e valores reduzidos de hematócrito se relacionaram com um pior prognóstico entre os pacientes sépticos. CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes diagnosticados com sepse apresentaram piores desfechos clínicos, provavelmente por causa de sua maior gravidade. O nível de hematócrito foi a única variável capaz de predizer o risco de morte entre pacientes sépticos.

Abstract Background: Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread across the world. Age and underlying diseases have been reported as predictors of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection. Charlson's weighted index of comorbidities (WIC) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II are two frequently-used measures of comorbidity. In this study, we have assessed the performance of WIC and APACHE II in predicting the mortality of COVID-19 patients.Methods: A total of 76 adult patients with COVID-19 were admitted to a designated hospital in Huangshi province from 1 January 2020 to 29 February 2020. Clinical data including age, gender, underlying diseases, and hospital mortality were collected. The APACHE II and WIC scores were assessed within the first 24 hours of admission. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to compare the performance of WIC, APACHE II, and joint detection. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to predict the hospital mortality. Results: Of the 76 enrolled patients, 57 patients survived, and 19 died. The surviving patients had significantly lower WIC and APACHE II than the non-surviving patients (p-value < 0.05). The AUC for the hospital mortality was 0.814 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.705-0.923) of WIC, 0.854 (95% CI 0.705-0.956) of APACHE II and 0.891(95% CI 0.830-0.966) for the joint detection. The diagnostic value of the joint detection was found to be better than that of WIC (p-value= 0.002) or APACHE II (p-value = 0.042). Conclusions: The WIC and APACHE II scores might serve as independent determinants for the hospital mortality associated with COVID-19 patients. The combined use of WIC and APACHE II is more predictive than individuals．
