Extremely high NT-proBNP levels in hospitalized patients often indicate infection rather than heart failure, with a high mortality risk; interpretation requires comprehensive clinical context.
This study explores how delays in transferring patients from the emergency department to the ICU influence hospital mortality, revealing diagnosis- and hospital-type-specific associations, particularly in cardiac arrest and trauma cases.
In a 497,185‑patient registry study, frailty (CFS ≥5) was common and associated with substantially higher in‑hospital mortality across all severities of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). The relationship between PaO2/FiO2 and deat
The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) predicts length of stay, mortality, and costs across all adult age groups in England, with stronger effects in older adults, supporting broader clinical use beyond the elderly.
