A cost-consequence analysis of the children’s administration oxygenation strategies trial (Coast) in severe pneumonia
Oxygen supplementation is a recommended treatment for children with severe pneumonia or hypoxaemia. The open, fractional-factorial Children’s Oxygen Administration Strategies Trial (COAST) recruited Kenyan and Ugandan children with severe pneumonia and hypoxaemia. Participants in the severe hypoxaemia stratum (SpO 2 2 80–91%) to HFNT, LFO or permissive hypoxaemia (ratio 1:1:2). The trial stopped early and there is ongoing uncertainty about the cl…
Ethnic differences in Sars-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19-related hospitalisation, intensive care unit admission, and death in 17 million adults in England: An observational cohort study using the OpenS…
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has disproportionately affected minority ethnic populations in the UK. Our aim was to quantify ethnic differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 outcomes during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in England. METHODS: We conducted an observational cohort study of adults (aged ≥18 years) registered with primary care practices in England for whom electronic health records were available through the OpenSAF…
Global, regional, and national sepsis incidence and mortality, 1990–2017: Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection. It is considered a major cause of health loss, but data for the global burden of sepsis are limited. As a syndrome caused by underlying infection, sepsis is not part of standard Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) estimates. Accurate estimates are important to inform and monitor health policy interventions, allo…
OP24 Assessing the Cost-Effectiveness of Alternative Care Pathways: A Case Study Evaluating Early Transfer to Neuroscience Centres for Critically ill Patients with Acute Traumatic Brain Injury
Background Acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death, disability and cost. For critically-ill adult TBI patients who present outside a neuroscience centre, and do not require neurosurgery, there is little evidence on whether early transfer to a neuroscience centre is worthwhile. NICE guidelines list the issue as a key research topic. We aimed to assess the relative cost-effectiveness of ‘early transfer’ (within 18 hours of hosp…
OP72 Prospective External Validation of Risk Prediction Models for Acute Traumatic Brain Injury in UK Critical Care Units: The Rain Study
Background Acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in adults aged under 40 years. Statistical models have been developed to predict the risk of mortality or unfavourable outcome (death or severe disability) at six months following acute TBI but to date these risk prediction models have only been validated using existing data sources. The Risk Adjustment In Neurocritical care (RAIN) Study aimed to validate t…
The effect of socioeconomic status on mortality in the critically ill: A national data linkage study
Background Admission to intensive care units (ICUs) is determined by degree of organ failure and the need for close monitoring. It is associated with high intensity, expensive treatments. Socioeconomic status (SES) is an important determinant of health outcomes, but few studies have assessed its effect on outcome from critical illness. Aims We investigated the association of SES with short and long-term mortality for ICU patients in Scotland. Met…
P51 Surviving intensive care: A systematic review of health care resource use after hospital discharge
Background Intensive care units (ICUs) are an expensive resource. However, this expense does not end at hospital discharge. ICU survivors continue to experience significant morbidity. As the demand for ICU is likely to increase substantially, there is a need to establish how much health care resource survivors consume following discharge from hospital. This will enable appropriate service planning and policy development to meet the needs of these…
Association between volume and outcome for adult general critical care units in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
MMR safety, and nearly a quarter (22.7%, n = 60) were rated as ''mixed''. In 2000, despite growing public concerns and widespread media coverage, fewer than 20 comment pieces were published. From 2001-2003 the tone of many articles was negative, mixed or neutral, thus conveying ambiguous or negative messages about MMR safety to health professionals, though from 2004 the tone changed and most comment pieces were broadly positive. Overall less than…
The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire: Psychometric properties, benchmarking data, and emerging research
Socioeconomic Status and Outcome From Intensive Care in England and Wales
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and outcome for admissions to intensive care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: We studied 51,572 admissions to 99 intensive-care units in England and Wales between 1995 and 2000. MEASURES: The SES of admissions was measured using Carstairs deprivation scores. Outcome was hospital mortality after adjustment for case mix u…
