This study investigated the prognostic factors and outcomes of unplanned extubation (UE) in patients in a medical center's 6 intensive care units (ICUs) and calculated their mortality risk. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all adult patients in Chi Mei Medical Center who underwent UE between 2009 and 2015. During the study period, there were 305 episodes of UE in 295 ICU patients (men: 199 [67.5%]; mean age: 65.7 years; age range: 18-94 years). The mean Acute Physiology and Chr ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundUnplanned extubation is the removal of an endotracheal tube accidently during procedural activities or by the action of the patient. It is one of the commonly reported complications among mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. This study aimed to assess the magnitude and associated factors of unplanned extubation in intensive care units at referral hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.MethodsInstitutional based prospective observational study was conducted on 317 intubated patients in the intensive care unit at referral hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from January 8, 2021-May 9, 2021. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statics were expressed in percentages and presented with tables and figures. Both Bivariable and multivariable logistic analysis was done to identify factors associated with unplanned extubation in intensive care unit. P < 0.05 with 95% CI was set as Statistical significance.ResultThe prevalence of unplanned extubation in this study was 19.74%. Being male (AOR = 3.132, 95%CI: 1.276-7.69), duration of intubation <5days (AOR = 2.475, 95% CI: 1.039-5.894), managed by junior resident (AOR = 5.25, 95% CI: 2.125-12.969), being physically restrained (AOR = 4.356, 95%CI: 1.786-10.624), night shift (AOR = 3.282, 95%CI:1.451-7.424)and agitation (AOR = 4.934,95%CI:1.934-12.586) were significantly contribute to the occurrence of unplanned extubation.Conclusionand recommendation: This study showed that the prevalence of unplanned extubation was high in the intensive care unit. We suggest to intensive care unit staff to give special attention to early intubated patients, especially male individuals and the stakeholders of hospitals should rearrange the time of shift and physician schedules in the intensive care unit.

Project description:ImportanceUnplanned extubations (UEs) in children contribute to significant morbidity and mortality, with an arbitrary benchmark target of less than 1 UE per 100 ventilator days. However, there have been no multicenter initiatives to reduce these events.ObjectiveTo determine if a multicenter quality improvement initiative targeting all intubated neonatal and pediatric patients is associated with a reduction in UEs and morbidity associated with UE events.Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter quality improvement initiative enrolled patients from pediatric, neonatal, and cardiac intensive care units (ICUs) in 43 participating children's hospitals from March 2016 to December 2018. All patients with an endotracheal tube requiring mechanical ventilation were included in the study.InterventionsParticipating hospitals implemented a quality improvement bundle to reduce UEs, which included standardized anatomic reference points and securement methods, protocol for high-risk situations, and multidisciplinary apparent cause analyses.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcome measures for this study included bundle compliance with each factor tested and UE rates on the center level and on the cohort level.ResultsAmong the 43 children's hospitals, the quality improvement initiative was associated with an aggregate 24.1% reduction in UE events, from a baseline rate of 1.135 UEs per 100 ventilator days to 0.862 UEs per 100 ventilator days. Across ICU settings studied, the pediatric ICU and neonatal ICU demonstrated centerline shifts, with an absolute reduction in events of 20.6% (from a baseline rate of 0.729 UEs per 100 ventilator days to 0.579 UEs per 100 ventilator days) and 17.6% (from a baseline rate of 1.555 UEs per 100 ventilator days to 1.282 UEs per 100 ventilator days), respectively. Most UEs required reintubation within 1 hour (mean of 120 of 206 events per month [58.3%]), followed by UEs that did not require reintubation (mean of 78 of 206 events per month [37.9%]) and UEs that resulted in cardiovascular collapse (mean of 8 of 206 events per month [3.9%]). Cardiovascular collapse events represented the most significant consequence of UE studied, and the collaborative reduced these UE events by 36.6%, from a study baseline rate of 0.041 UEs per 100 ventilator days to 0.026 UEs per 100 ventilator days.Conclusions and relevanceThis multicenter quality improvement initiative was associated with a reduction in UEs across different pediatric populations in diverse settings. A significant reduction in event rate and rate of harm (cardiovascular collapse) was observed, which was sustained over the time course of the intervention. This quality improvement process and UE bundle may be considered standard of care for pediatric hospitals in the future.

Project description:Most reports regarding unplanned extubation (UE) are case-control studies with matching age and disease severity. To avoid diminishing differences in matched factors, this study with only matching duration of mechanical ventilation aimed to re-examine the risk factors and the factors governing outcomes of UE in intensive care units (ICUs). This case-control study was conducted on 1,775 subjects intubated for mechanical ventilation. Thirty-seven (2.1%) subjects with UE were identified, and 156 non-UE subjects were randomly selected as the control group. Demographic data, acute Physiological and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scores, and outcomes of UE were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors of UE. Milder disease, younger age, and higher Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores with more frequently being physically restrained (all p<0.05) were related to UE. Logistic regression revealed that APACHE II score (odds ratio (OR) 0.91, p<0.01), respiratory infection (OR 0.24, p<0.01), physical restraint (OR 5.36, p<0.001), and certain specific diseases (OR 3.79-5.62, p<0.05) were related to UE. The UE patients had a lower ICU mortality rate (p<0.01) and a trend of lower in-hospital mortality rate (p = 0.08). Cox regression analysis revealed that in-hospital mortality was associated with APACHE II score, age, shock, and oxygen used, all of which were co-linear, but not UE. The results showed that milder disease with higher GCS scores thereby requiring a higher use of physical restraints were related to UE. Disease severity but not UE was associated with in-hospital mortality.

Project description:To determine the rate of unplanned PICU readmissions, examine the characteristics of index admissions associated with readmission, and compare outcomes of readmissions versus index admissions.Retrospective cohort analysis.Ninety North American PICUs that participated in the Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Systems.One hundred five thousand four hundred thirty-seven admissions between July 2009 and March 2011.None.Unplanned PICU readmission within 48 hours of index discharge was the primary outcome. Summary statistics, bivariate analyses, and mixed-effects logistic regression model with random effects for each hospital were performed.There were 1,161 readmissions (1.2%). The readmission rate varied among PICUs (0-3.3%), and acute respiratory (56%), infectious (35%), neurological (28%), and cardiovascular (20%) diagnoses were often present on readmission. Readmission risk increased in patients with two or more complex chronic conditions (adjusted odds ratio, 1.72; p < 0.001), unscheduled index admission (adjusted odds ratio, 1.37; p < 0.001), and transfer to an intermediate unit (adjusted odds ratio, 1.29; p = 0.004, compared with ward). Trauma patients had a decreased risk of readmission (adjusted odds ratio, 0.67; p = 0.003). Gender, race, insurance, age more than 6 months, perioperative status, and nighttime transfer were not associated with readmission. Compared with index admissions, readmissions had longer median PICU length of stay (3.1 vs 1.7 d, p < 0.001) and higher mortality (4% vs 2.5%, p = 0.002).Unplanned PICU readmissions were relatively uncommon, but were associated with worse outcomes. Several patient and admission characteristics were associated with readmission. These data help identify high-risk patient groups and inform risk-adjustment for standardized readmission rates.

Project description:The unplanned extubation (UE), a common adverse event in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), may result in airway trauma, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and, in extreme cases, death. As part of the Nationwide Children's Hospital NICU's effort to optimize NICU graduates' neurodevelopmental outcomes, skin-to-skin care of intubated infants is encouraged, while sedation and restraints to prevent UE are strongly discouraged. This project aimed to decrease the UE rate from 1.85 to 1.5 per 100 endotracheal tube (ETT) days.MethodsThe project occurred in a 114-bed, level-IV NICU with approximately 850 admissions per year and 100% outborn infants. A multidisciplinary team began biweekly meetings to review all UE events, later separating these into preventable and nonpreventable. Important ongoing tests of change included assigning a single process owner for UE reporting, ensuring proper ETT securement, and using 2 clinical staff during patient and/or ETT manipulation.ResultsEarly in the project, enhanced detection led to an increased rate from 1.85 to 3.26 per 100 ETT days. However, identifying preventable events empowered staff to decrease the frequency to 2.03 per 100 ETT days. In August 2017, an ETT taping method change produced an increase in special causes due to decreased compliance. However, when securement methods were enhanced, noncompliance reversed and is now trending favorably.ConclusionsDecreasing UE in a neurodevelopmentally friendly unit, which avoids sedation and restraints, is challenging. Using a multidisciplinary quality improvement approach and after appropriately capturing events, we reduced UE, with the highest impact of intervention being ETT securement standardization.

Project description:PurposeAdrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive tumor characterized by a high recurrence rate and poor response to treatment. This study analyzes a consecutive series of ACC patients to evaluate the prognostic value of various clinical and pathological characteristics.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 32 ACC patients followed at our Medical Center from 1997 to 2015 and evaluated the prognostic value of age at diagnosis, gender, tumor functional status, stage, and type of treatment with respect to overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), as determined by Kaplan-Meier curves.ResultsACC was associated with hormonal overproduction in 50% of cases, and patients with isolated hyperandrogenism had a better prognosis. Recurrence was observed in 12/26 (46.2%) patients with no evidence of disease after surgery. Tumor size [hazard ratio (HR) 1.32, 95% confidential intervals (CI) 1.12-1.64; p = 0.007], ki-67 (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.11; p = 0.009) and advanced stage at diagnosis (III-IV) (HR 6.51, 95% CI 1.65-24.68; p = 0.006) were associated with recurrence in the 26 R0 patients in the univariate analysis. Advanced stage was an independent risk factor for recurrence in the multivariate analysis (HR 8.10, 95% CI 1.55-41.35; p = 0.01). Five-year survival was 40.0%. Positive resection margins (HR 10.61, 95% CI 3.02-38.31; p = < 0.001), ki-67 (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07; p = 0.01) and advanced stage (HR 11.31, 95% CI 1.45-87.76; p = 0.02) were associated with poor survival in all 32 patients, but only positive resection margins were an independent predictor of mortality in the multivariate analysis (HR 6.22, 95% CI 1.44-26.05; p = 0.01).ConclusionACC has a poor prognosis with a high recurrence rate. Tumor stage at diagnosis and the completeness of surgical excision are the most relevant prognostic factors.

Project description:Objective Myasthenic crisis (MC) is considered the most severe adverse event in patients with myasthenia gravis. The present retrospective study was performed to evaluate the predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with MC. Methods The medical charts of 33 patients (19 women, 14 men) with 76 MC attacks from 2002 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Early extubation (?7 days) and prolonged ventilation (>15 days) during the MC were used to assess patient outcomes. Results Among the 33 patients, 24 (72.7%) had positive acetylcholine receptor antibody test results and 20 (60.6%) experienced recurrent MC attacks (?2 episodes) during follow-up (median 83.6 months, range 1.5-177 months). Plasma exchange during an MC was significantly associated with early extubation. Male sex, older age (>50 years), atelectasis, and ventilator-associated pneumonia significantly contributed to prolonged ventilation. In 22 patients who underwent thymectomy, both the duration between MC attacks and the mean number of MC attacks were significantly reduced after surgery. Conclusions Plasma exchange during MC attacks was found to be important for early extubation; older patients and those with atelectasis or ventilator-associated pneumonia were more vulnerable to prolonged ventilation. Thymectomy may be useful to prevent recurrence of MC.

Project description:Simple Summary Glioblastoma is the most common tumour that originates in the brain in adults. Most of the published data on glioblastoma are from patients in clinical trials who tend to be younger and fitter than the average patient. We therefore looked at patient demographic, tumour characteristics, and treatments received in a group of 490 real-world patients with glioblastoma to evaluate their survival, and to investigate whether we could find any factors that were associated with longer survival. Overall, the average survival of patients was 9 months. Patients tended to live longer if they were younger, had surgery, if they had further treatment after surgery (chemo- or radio-therapy), or if they had a tumour marker called MGMT promotor methylation. Abstract Background: IDH-wildtype glioblastoma is the most common malignant primary brain tumour in adults. As there is limited information on prognostic factors outside of clinical trials; thus, we conducted a retrospective study to characterise the glioblastoma population at our centre. Methods: Demographic, tumour molecular profiles, treatment, and survival data were collated for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma at our centre between July 2011 and December 2015. We used multivariate proportional hazard model associations with survival. Results: 490 patients were included; 60% had debulking surgery and 40% biopsy only. Subsequently, 56% had standard chemoradiotherapy, 25% had non-standard chemo/radio-therapy, and 19% had no further treatment. Overall survival was 9.2 months. In the multivariate analysis, longer survival was associated with debulking surgery vs. biopsy alone (14.9 vs. 8 months) (HR 0.54 [95% CI 0.41–0.70]), subsequent treatment after diagnosis (HR 0.12 [0.08–0.16]) (standard chemoradiotherapy [16.9 months] vs. non-standard regimens [9.2 months] vs. none [2.0 months]), tumour MGMT promotor methylation (HR 0.71 [0.58–0.87]), and younger age (hazard ratio vs. age < 50: 1.70 [1.26–2.30] for ages 50–59; 3.53 [2.65–4.70] for ages 60–69; 4.82 [3.54–6.56] for ages 70+). Conclusions: The median survival for patients with glioblastoma is less than a year. Younger age, debulking surgery, treatment with chemoradiotherapy, and MGMT promotor methylation are independently associated with longer survival.

Project description:BackgroundPatient safety in the intensive care unit (ICU) is one of the most critical issues, and unplanned extubation (UE) is considered the most adverse event for patient safety. Prevention and early detection of such an event is an essential but difficult component of quality care.ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate prediction models for UE in ICU patients using machine learning.MethodsThis study was conducted in an academic tertiary hospital in Seoul, Republic of Korea. The hospital had approximately 2000 inpatient beds and 120 ICU beds. As of January 2019, the hospital had approximately 9000 outpatients on a daily basis. The number of annual ICU admissions was approximately 10,000. We conducted a retrospective study between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018. A total of 6914 extubation cases were included. We developed a UE prediction model using machine learning algorithms, which included random forest (RF), logistic regression (LR), artificial neural network (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM). For evaluating the model's performance, we used the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and F1 score were also determined for each model. For performance evaluation, we also used a calibration curve, the Brier score, and the integrated calibration index (ICI) to compare different models. The potential clinical usefulness of the best model at the best threshold was assessed through a net benefit approach using a decision curve.ResultsAmong the 6914 extubation cases, 248 underwent UE. In the UE group, there were more males than females, higher use of physical restraints, and fewer surgeries. The incidence of UE was higher during the night shift as compared to the planned extubation group. The rate of reintubation within 24 hours and hospital mortality were higher in the UE group. The UE prediction algorithm was developed, and the AUROC for RF was 0.787, for LR was 0.762, for ANN was 0.763, and for SVM was 0.740.ConclusionsWe successfully developed and validated machine learning-based prediction models to predict UE in ICU patients using electronic health record data. The best AUROC was 0.787 and the sensitivity was 0.949, which was obtained using the RF algorithm. The RF model was well-calibrated, and the Brier score and ICI were 0.129 and 0.048, respectively. The proposed prediction model uses widely available variables to limit the additional workload on the clinician. Further, this evaluation suggests that the model holds potential for clinical usefulness.

Project description:We conduct a retrospective study of patients with unplanned extubation (UE) in adult intensive care units (ICU) at a medical center. In 2001, a multidisciplinary team of intensivists, senior residents, nurses, and respiratory therapists was established at Chi Mei Medical Center. The improvement interventions, implemented between 2001 and 2015, were organized around 8 key areas: standardizing procedures, improving communication skills, revising sedation and weaning protocols, changing strategies for restraints, establishing a task force for identifying and managing high-risk patients, using new quality-improvement models as breakthrough series and team resource management, using the strategy of accountability without assigning blame, and changing a new method to secure endotracheal tube. We measured the outcome as the annual event and the rate of UE. During this 15-year period, there were 1404 episodes of UE, with 44,015 episodes of mechanical ventilation (MV) (319,158 ventilator-days). The overall rate of UE was 3.19/100 ventilated patients (4.40/1000 ventilator-days). In 2001, there were 188 episodes of UE and the rate of UE was 6.82/100 ventilated patients or 9.0/1000 ventilator-days. After this continue quality improvement project had been implemented, the annual number of episodes of UE declined to 27, and the rate fell to 0.95/100 ventilated patients or 1.36/1000 ventilator-days in 2015. Overall, the trend analysis showed the change was significant with P?<?.0001. In conclusion, UE in adult ICU can be continuously and effectively reduced using multidisciplinary and sequential quality improvement interventions.
