The good, the bad and the ugly: pandemic priority decisions and triage

Hans Flaatten et al.

Summary: This analysis discusses the change in criteria for triage of patients during different phases of a pandemic like COVID-19 from a critical care perspective. It highlights the importance of societal guidance in transitioning to different triage criteria when medical priorities alone are no longer sufficient.

Marion Ludwig et al.

Summary: The study compared the clinical and demographic characteristics of German patients hospitalized for infection with either SARS-CoV-2 or Influenza. Results showed that COVID-19 patients had higher in-hospital mortality and worse clinical outcomes, which were not attributable to demographic characteristics, preexisting comorbidities, or patient triage.

Hans Flaatten et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated high reliability of using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) in assessing frailty in elderly ICU patients. Information from family or hospital records was more reliable than direct patient information, and assessors from the same profession performed better than those from different professions.

Charles L. Sprung et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of provider religion and geographical/institutional factors on consensus about end-of-life care, finding significant differences in responses across regions. South African and North American providers were more likely to support advance directives, while Eastern European and Asian providers were less likely to agree with withdrawing life-sustaining treatments without patient or surrogate consent.

Martin Dres et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a heavy burden on healthcare resources, particularly for older patients over 70 years old admitted to the ICU. The mortality rate at Day-90 was 46%, with worse outcomes for patients over 80 years old or those intubated upon ICU admission.

Fernando G. Zampieri et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether outcomes for non-COVID-19 ICU patients worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Results showed that non-COVID-19 patients admitted in 2020 had slightly higher mortality rates compared to previous years, indicating a deterioration in hospital outcomes. Standardized mortality ratio increased for individual ICUs in 2020, suggesting a decline in performance.

Summary: This study revealed global disparities in end-of-life practices among ICU patients. Limitation of life-sustaining treatment is common worldwide with regional variability, and recognizing these differences may help improve end-of-life care globally.

Relationship between the Clinical Frailty Scale and short-term mortality in patients ≥ 80 years old acutely admitted to the ICU: a prospective cohort study

Jakub Fronczek et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of modelling approach on the association between the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score and short-term mortality in critically ill adults. The results showed that treating the CFS score as either a categorical variable or a nonlinear continuous variable provided the highest fraction of new prognostic information in the context of 30-day mortality. The relationship between the CFS score and mortality was found to be nonlinear, highlighting the importance of maintaining the complexity of the original CFS score for accurate prognostication.

The impact of frailty on survival in elderly intensive care patients with COVID-19: the COVIP study

Christian Jung et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the interaction of frailty and age in elderly COVID-19 ICU patients, finding that frailty was independently associated with lower survival rates. Frail patients were more likely to have treatment limitations and less likely to receive mechanical ventilation.
