Πολυνευρομυοπάθεια του βαρέως πάσχοντος στην μονάδα εντατικής θεραπείας
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relatiοnship between the emergengence of Gram negative bacteremia and other predisposing factors for subsequent critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPM) development in a general multidisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU). Patients and methods: Prospective observational study in a 28-bed university multidisciplinary ICU. 474 (323M/151F, age 55±19) consecutive patients were prospectively evaluated. All patients were assigned admission APACHE II (15±7) and SOFA (6±3) scores and were subsequently evaluated for newly developed neuromuscular weakness. Other potential causes of new-onset weakness after ICU admission were excluded before CIPM was diagnosed. Results: Forty-four (23.8%) of 185 evaluated patients developed generalized weakness that met the criteria for CIPM. Patients with CIPM had higher admission APACHE II (18.9 ± 6.6 vs 15.6 ± 6.4, p=0.004) and SOFA scores (8.4 ± 2.9 vs 7.1 ± 2.9, p=0.013). According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, ...
