Evaluation of the Sensitivity and Specificity of Diagnostic Criteria for Sepsis in Dogs Objective— To evaluate the ability of various individual criteria and grouped criteria to diagnose sepsis in dogs. Study Design— Prospective acquisition... JG Hauptman,R Walshaw,NB Olivier - 《Veterinary Surgery...
We did not address how to diagnose infection among those in whom life-threatening organ dysfunction was the initial presentation. Therefore, these data alone do not mandate that hospitalized patients with SOFA or qSOFA points be evaluated for the presence of infection. Second, we chose to develop...
SEPSISPERCEPTUAL control theoryEarly diagnosis and treatment significantly reduce sepsis mortality. Currently, no gold standard has been yet established to diagnose sepsis outside the ICU. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sepsis defined by SIRS Criteria of 1991, Second...
A doctor can diagnose hemodynamic instability by looking for the following symptoms: hypotension, an abnormal heart rate, decreased urine output, and a change in mental status. To assess the severity, a doctor should primarily pay attention to the patient's cardiac output. In addition, they shoul...
Patients with anorectal abscess may present with pain that is typically throbbing, visible redness and swelling of the anus, and/or sepsis. On physical examination, there is often tenderness to palpation and an area of fluctuance. In some cases, the abscess may be occult on physical ...
Conclusion: In the presence of a fever during labor at term, signs used to diagnose clinical chorioamnionitis do not accurately identify the patient with proven intra-amniotic infection (i.e., those with microorganisms detected by culture or molecular microbiologic techniques and an associated intra...
Recent findings: Overall, the accuracy of clinical chorioamnionitis to detect intra-amniotic infection (IAI) is not high, around 50%. The accuracy of each diagnostic criteria to diagnose IAI is, for example, 51.1% with maternal tachycardia, 57.8% with fetal tachycardia, and 55.6% with maternal...

A new scoring system termed sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) has been proposed to diagnose early sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). This study performed DIC-related analyses in patients with confirmed SIC. Data from the intensive care unit (ICU) departments of the three ...
