Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine the association between the outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and pre-hospital National Early Warning Score (NEWS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Revised Trauma Score (RTS).
Methods: This retrospective and observational study included adult patients with TBI admitted to the pre-hospital emergency medical services system between January 2019 and December 2020. TBI was considered when the abbreviated injury scale score was 3 or higher. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
Results: Among 248 patients included in the study, in-hospital mortality was 18.5% (n=46). In the multivariate analysis for predict-ing in-hospital mortality, pre-hospital NEWS (Odds ratio [OR], 1.198; 95% Confidence interval [CI], 1.042-1.378) and RTS (OR, 0.568; 95% CI, 0.422-0.766) were independently associated with in-hospital mortality. The area under the curves (AUCs) for ISS, RTS, and pre-hospital NEWS were 0.731 (95% CI, 0.672-0.786), 0.853 (95% CI, 0.802-0.894), and 0.843 (95% CI, 0.791-0.886), respectively. The AUC of pre-hospital NEWS was significantly different from that of ISS but not from that of RTS.
Conclusion: Pre-hospital NEWS could contribute to improving prognosis by aiding in the rapid classification of patients with TBI in the field and their transportation to appropriate hospitals.

Background: Relapsed or refractory cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have poor outcomes despite advancements in chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While a second HSCT is often a salvage option, its outcomes vary widely, and prognostic factors remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate outcomes and identify prognostic factors in pediatric patients with AML who underwent multiple HSCTs.

Background: Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized adults. Numerous prognostic models have been developed to identify those patients with elevated risk of HA-VTE. None, however, has met the necessary criteria to guide clinical decision-making.

Background: In hyponatremic patients, concurrent dialysate flow during hemodialysis may be an ideal option to mitigate complications such as osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS).
Methods: Present randomized controlled trial enrolled dialysis-requiring chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients with serum sodium levels < 125 mEq/L during January 2020 over 16 months. Hemodynamically unstable patients, as well as those with a history of seizures and neurological conditions, were excluded.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of tocilizumab, a interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor blocker, for the treatment of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE).
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines. ANE patients treated with and without tocilizumab were included.

Background: Acinetobacter seifertii, a recently identified member of the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-Acinetobacter baumannii (Acb) complex, has emerged as a cause of severe human infections. It is closely related to Acinetobacter nosocomialis, a major pathogen of the Acb complex. Here, we aimed to explore the clinical and molecular differences between these two species.
