Background: Age and comorbidity significantly impact the prognosis of septic patients and inform treatment decisions. To provide clinicians with effective tools for identifying high-risk patients, this study assesses the predictive value of the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) and its simplified version, the quick ACCI (qACCI), for mortality in septic patients. Methods: This retrospective study included septic patients from four Chinese medical centers.

Background: The correlation between RAR is linked to negative outcomes in sepsis, but it remains uncertain if RAR is connected to prognosis in patients with sepsis-related NTIS. So we investigated it in this study.

Methods: Patients with sepsis-associated NTIS admitted to Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, between March 2013 and April 2017 were included in the study.

Introduction: In critically ill patients, the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) was significantly associated with mortality. However, the relationship between SHR and mortality in septic patients is still unclear.In this study, patients with sepsis from two Chinese academic centers were identified and divided into quartiles based on SHR levels.

Purpose: New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) are severe complications in septic patients. However, the relationship between NOAF and SIC score has not been clearly defined. This study aims to investigate the association between SIC score and NOAF, as well as their effect on mortality in sepsis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in septic patients, focusing on their effects on mortality.
  • A total of 1219 septic patients were analyzed, revealing that 31.8% were diagnosed with DIC within 72 hours, and NTIS significantly increased the risk of developing DIC.
  • The findings indicate that DIC patients with NTIS had a higher mortality rate in 28 days compared to those without NTIS, suggesting that NTIS complicates sepsis outcomes.

Background: Nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is a common endocrine dysfunction predicting unfavorable outcomes in critical illness. The objective of the study is to evaluate the association between different NTIS subtypes with outcomes in septic patients.

Methods: Septic patients in two Chinese academic centers from October 2012 and October 2022 are enrolled in analysis.
