Introduction To systematically review studies evaluating the performance of Sequential
Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA)-based models for predicting mortality in patients in the …

Hyperosmotic stress is an often overlooked process that potentially contributes to a number
of human diseases. Whereas renal hyperosmolarity is a well-studied phenomenon, recent …

Introduction Non-excitable muscle membrane indicates critical illness myopathy (CIM)
during early critical illness. We investigated predisposing risk factors for non-excitable …

Serum osmolality is the sum of the osmolalities of every single dissolved particle in the blood
such as sodium and associated anions, potassium, glucose, and urea. Under normal …

Extracellular hyperosmolarity, or osmotic stress, generally caused by differences in salt and
macromolecule concentrations across the plasma membrane, occurs in lymphoid organs …

Objectives This research aims to explore the association between serum osmolarity and
mortality in patients who are critically ill with specific categories of disease. Design A …

PURPOSE: This study aims to validate the performance of the Sequential Organ Failure
Assessment (SOFA) score to predict death of critically ill patients with cancer. MATERIAL …

Introduction: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is one of the most common causes of
mortality world-wide. The mortality rate of patients with CAP is influenced by the severity of …

Background: Plasma osmometry and the osmol gap have long been used to provide
clinicians with important diagnostic and prognostic patient information. Objective: We …

Background Older adults are susceptible to dehydration due to age-related changes. This
study aimed to investigate the prevalence of clinically diagnosed dehydration in older adult …
