Introduction. Sepsis is a group of symptoms of organ dysfunction that can be life-threatening because of dysregulation of body response toward ongoing infection. Organ dysfunction in sepsis can be measured by Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and T3 hormone. The study was aimed to identify the correlation of T3 in predicting mortality of 28 days patients in Intensive Care Unit RSMH Palembang. Method. This study design is cohort prospective. The inclusion criteria consist of a patient diagnosed with sepsis and septic shock in the Intensive Care Unit, 18-64 years old. Patients with a history of thyroid disease, pregnant or post-pregnancy, the patient admitted in referral from other hospitals, and patients with a history of psychiatry medication and thyroid medication were excluded. Data collected is the patient whose stay in Intensive Care Unit RSMH followed in 28 days from January 2021 until the sample was fulfilled (39 samples). Analyzing data was SPSS version 23 with chi-square analysis and Fisher's Exact to identify the relationship. Pearson correlation to identify correlation coefficient, and Medical application to measure AUC, cutoff value, sensitivity, and specificity. Result. The result showed that age (p=0,445). gender (p=1,00), need of ICU (p=0,228), isolation-nonisolation ward (p=0,437) didn't have any significant relationship toward mortality. SOFA score correlate statistically with positive correlation and medium strength (0,633) toward mortality of sepsis patient  (p=0,000). T3 hormon correlate positively with medium strength (0,514) toward mortality of sepsis patient (p=0,001). T3 hormone toward SOFA correlate negatively (-0,365) with significant correlation (p=0,22). T3 hormone has AUC 0,291 with sensitivity 3,3% and specificity 67,7%. Conclusion.  T3 hormone has a significant negative correlation to mortality in sepsis patients but cannot be used to predict mortality with a low AUC value (0,291).

Abstract Background Sepsis, a syndrome of physiologic, pathologic, and biochemical abnormalities induced by infection, is a major public health concern. Sepsis should be defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dys-regulated host response to infection. For clinical operationalization, organ dysfunction can be represented by an increase in the Sequential [Sepsis-related] Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 points or more, which is associated with an in-hospital mortality greater than 10%. Objective To compare between ringer lactate and voluven in resuscitation of patient with sever sepsis in intensive care unit. Patients and Methods It is a prospective analytical study to compare ringer lactate versus voluven in resuscitation in sever sepsis. The required sample size has been estimated to be 30 patients for each group. A total number of 60 patients were treated for severe sepsis in our ICU during the study period. 30 patients assigned to ringer lactate and 30 patients assigned to HES 130/0.42, there was 40% of patients known to have HTN and 66.7% know to have DM. Results In comparison between the studied groups regarding the ABG data in first day, we found a PH improvement in Voluven group more than Ringer lactate group by P-value 0.020. Pao2 was worsened in Voluven group than Ringer lactate group by p-value 0.022. The laboratory data showed no specific significance between the two groups and C-Reactive protein results were not in the two study groups. Conclusion There’s no significant difference in Patients with severe sepsis assigned to fluid resuscitation with Voluven compared to those receiving Ringer’s lactate in SOFA score results as well as mortality index.

Background: There is conflicting evidence on the association between afterhours discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality. We examined the effects of afterhours discharge, including the potential effect of residual organ dysfunction, on hospital mortality in a large integrated health region. Methods: We performed a multi-center retrospective cohort study of 10,463 adults discharged from 9 mixed medical/surgical ICUs in Alberta from June 2012 to December 2014. We applied a 2-stage modeling strategy to investigate the association between afterhours discharge (19:00h to 07:59h) and post-ICU hospital mortality. We applied mixed-effect multi-variable linear regression to assess the relationship between discharge organ dysfunction and afterhours discharge. We then applied mixed-effect multi-variable logistic regression to evaluate the direct, indirect and integrated associations of afterhours discharge on hospital mortality and hospitalization duration. Results: Of 10,463 patients, 23.7% (n = 2,480) were discharged afterhours, of which 27.4% occurred on a holiday or weekend. This varied significantly by ICU size, type, and site. Patients discharged afterhours were more likely medical admissions, had greater multi-morbidity and illness acuity. A greater average SOFA score in the 72 hours prior to ICU discharge was not associated with afterhours discharge. However, a greater average SOFA score was associated with hospital mortality (adjusted-odds ratio [OR], 1.23; 95% CI, 1.18-1.28). Afterhours discharge was associated with higher hospital mortality (adjusted-OR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.01-1.39), increased hospital stay (adjusted-risk ratio [RR], 1.10; 95% CI, 1.09-1.11) and increased post-ICU stay (adjusted-RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.14-1.17) when compared with workhours discharge. Conclusions: Afterhours discharge is common, occurring in 1 in 4 discharges, and is widely variable across ICUs. Patients discharged afterhours have greater risk of hospital mortality and prolonged hospitalization.

Introduction. Sepsis is a syndrome that describes physiological dysfunction, pathological, and biochemistry caused by infection. Fluid balance is an indicator that can monitor input and output. This study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between positive cumulative fluid balance and the mortality rate of sepsis patients treated in the intensive care unit. Method: This study design is a retrospective study. The inclusion criteria consist of patients diagnosed with sepsis written in the medical record, 18-65 years old, and patients admitted in intensive care unit dr Moh. Hoesin General Hospital. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 with the normality of data distribution, independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney analysis, chi-square, Fisher’s Exact to measure the relationship, and using Medcalc version 14 application to measure cut-off value, ROC curve AUC, cross-sectional point, sensitivity, and specificity. Result. The result showed that characteristic between age (p=0,491), gender (p=0,703) did not differ significantly between survived and non-survived patient. Length of stay (p=0,002), balance (p=0,000), and ward unit (p=0,014) has a significant different between survived and non survived patient. In chi square analysis, p value=0,000with odds ratio 7,083. Cut-off value of ROC curve is -97 mL with AUC 0,844, sensitivity 76,1% and specificity 79,3%. Conclusion. Cumulative positive balance patient in the sepsis patient correlates with increased mortality in a sepsis patient in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang.

Objective This study aimed to identify the prognostic factors of patients with first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to establish a nomogram for prognostic modeling. Methods We studied 985 patients with first-time AMI using data from the Multi-parameter Intelligent Monitoring for Intensive Care database and extracted their demographic data. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to examine outcome-related variables. We also tested a new predictive model that includes the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and compared it with the SOFA-only model. Results An older age, higher SOFA score, and higher Acute Physiology III score were risk factors for the prognosis of AMI. The risk of further cardiovascular events was 1.54-fold higher in women than in men. Patients in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit had a better prognosis than those in the coronary heart disease intensive care unit. Pressurized drug use was a protective factor and the risk of further cardiovascular events was 1.36-fold higher in nonusers. Conclusion The prognosis of AMI is affected by age, the SOFA score, the Acute Physiology III score, sex, admission location, type of care unit, and vasopressin use. Our new predictive model for AMI has better performance than the SOFA model alone.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of immunoglobulin (Ig)M-enriched Ig therapy on mortality rate and renal function in sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), using the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score. METHODS: Retrospective study of patients with sepsis-induced MODS treated with standard antibiotic plus supportive therapy (control group) or IgM-enriched Ig therapy adjuvant to control group therapy (IVIg group). Total length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), overall mortality rate and 28-day case fatality rate (CFR), as well as APACHE II scores and renal function parameters at day 1 and day 4 of therapy, were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 118 patients were included (control group, n = 62; IVIg group, n = 56). In both groups, day 4 APACHE II scores decreased significantly compared with day 1 scores; the effect of treatment on renal function was minimal. Length of ICU stay, overall mortality rate and 28-day CFR were significantly lower in the IVIg group compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Adding IgM-enriched Ig therapy to standard therapy for MODS improved general clinical conditions and significantly reduced APACHE II scores, overall mortality rate and 28-day CFR, although effects on renal function were minimal.

The concept of and approach to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), also known as progressive systems failure, multiple organ failure, and multiple system organ failure, have evolved over the last decade. Characterized by progressive but potentially reversible tissue damage and dysfunction of two or more organ systems that arise after a significant physiologic insult and its subsequent management, MODS evolves in the wake of a profound disruption of systemic homeostasis. Pre-existing illness, nutritional status, hospital course, and genetic variation all lead to the development of organ dysfunction in patients exposed to these risk factors. The ultimate outcome from MODS is influenced not only by a patient’s genetic and biological predisposition but also by specific management principles practiced by intensivists. This review details the clinical definitions, quantification, prevention, evaluation, support, and outcomes of organ dysfunction. A figure shows the increasing severity of organ dysfunction correlated with increasing intensive care unit mortality, and an algorithm details the approach to MODS. Tables list risk factors and prognosis for MODS, the multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) score, the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, intensive care unit interventions that reduce mortality or attenuate organ dysfunction along with unproven or disproven ICU interventions, and the temporal evolution of MODS. This review contains 1 figure, 7 tables, and 159 references.
