The presence of clinical signs is a common theme within the definitions of sepsis discussed, though not universal. Most publications including clinical signs in their diagnostic criteria provide no guidance on what specific signs should be considered pathological and do not use continuous vital sign mo...

In practice, anemia is defined by hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit, or red blood cell count levels lower than the normal age- and sex-adjusted ranges. Use of appropriate ranges when defining anemia is important.2,3 Throughout the first year of life, erythrocytes lose their fetal and neonatal ...
Data-driven pediatric sepsis prediction tools should also work effectively with children of all ages. Current model development shows wide variations in the age ranges of patients in the studies reviewed. Additionally, some articles specifically included or excluded certain pediatric age ranges55,56,68,...

Results: On physical examination the girl had reticular peliosis, arthritis of metatarsophalangeal joints and a papular rash of hands, elbows and feet with no clinical sign of chronic liver disease (jaundice,firm liver,hepato/spleno megaly,palmar erythema).Based on normal liver histology we consi...
Normal and abnormal age ranges for respiration rate and heart rate originate from the clinical trial protocol and are displayed in Appendix. significant differences (p<0.05) between clinical severity groups and between clinical change groups were obtained in the expected direction. As the ClinRO was...

(1) Here, protein levels and white blood cell counts were only slightly elevated in comparison to normal ranges, with a median of 0.48 g/l (range 0.08–19.0 g/l) and a median of 5 cells/µl (range 1–2000/µl), respectively. (2) CSF antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 could be ...
