Poor timing and failure of source control are risk factors for mortality in critically ill patients with secondary peritonitis.
odds of death were associated with septic shock (OR 3.08 [1.42-7.00]), late-onset hospital-acquired peritonitis (OR 1.71 [1.16-2.52]) and failed source control evidenced by persistent inflammation at day ...
The COVID-19 pandemic minimally interfered with delivery of care and did not result in worse outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers in Belgium
major amputation or death as first event were assessed by Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Although overall offloading rates for plantar DFU did not differ, patients that presented during ...
Severity of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Belgium.
strains (‘unexposed’) in terms of the manifestation of severe COVID-19, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, or in-hospital mortality. The exposed and unexposed group were matched based on the hospital and ...
Predictors of exceeding emergency under-five mortality thresholds using small-scale survey data from humanitarian settings (1999- 2020): considerations for measles vaccination, malnutrition, and displacement status.
under-five death rate, population status (internally displaced, refugee, or crisis-affected resident), measles containing vaccine coverage, and global acute malnutrition were extracted from the Complex ...
Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.
virulence, and host-pathogen mechanisms of interactions in a snail infection model. Most of isolates (66.7%) were characterized as multidrug resistant (MDR) and belonged to clonal complexes (CC s) which are ...
Estimating the direct Disability-Adjusted Life Years associated with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the Republic of Ireland: The first full year
There were 220,273 confirmed cases with a total of 4,500 deaths as a direct result of COVID-19. DALY s were estimated to be 51,622.8 (95% Uncertainty Intervals [UI] 50,721.7, 52,435.8). Overall, YLL ...
