CEREBRAL PERFUSION PRESSURE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING HYPOTHERMIA AFTER CARDIAC ARREST
Critical Care Medicine(2014)
摘要
Therefore 270 patients [age 18 97 ± 19.3 years; 173 males] were included in the study. 17 patients were readmitted of which 5 died and 12 survived the second ICU admission. With a hypothetical SWIFT score over 15 being predictive of readmission, our group of patients demonstrated a similar trend (t=1.7933, p=0.0918). Patients readmitted had higher mean SWIFT scores than those not readmitted (respectively, mean=21.82 and mean=10.68, p<0.0001,). Patients who were readmitted and survived had a lower SWIFT score mean compared to those who were readmitted and died (respectively, mean=15.75 adn mean=36.4, p=0.0081). Conclusions: Our ICU presents a low readmission rate (4.4%) compared to other ICUs studied to validate the SWIFT score (9% in the South American study and 8,8% in the North American study). Patients readmitted to the ICU had a significantly higher SWIFT score compared to patients who were not readmitted. In light of the increased cost and mortality associated with readmission to the ICU, our study has shown that the SWIFT score can be useful predictor to reduce readmission in an Asian population.
