Safety of Colonoscopies in Patients on Advanced Heart Failure Therapies Who Received a Heart Transplant by Zaid Ansari, Akram Ahmad, Osama Sharjeel Khan, Vuha Reddi, Fernando Castro

“…Advanced heart failure therapies were defined as requiring inotropes (milrinone or dobutamine), vasopressors (norepinephrine or vasopressin), or MCS such as an impella, left ventricular assist device (LVAD), intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP), or extra‐corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). …”

Individualized drug therapy and survival prediction in ICU patients with acute kidney injury: construction and validation of a nomogram by Rui Yang, Xiaozhe Su, Ziqi Liu, Shuai Shao, Yinhuai Wang, Hao Su, Haiqing He

“…Results This study enrolled 1,208 patients and developed a nomogram incorporating oxygen flow rate, respiratory frequency, continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration status, age, and medication use (including ibuprofen, epinephrine, cefazolin, warfarin, and vasopressin). The predictive model demonstrated diagnostic accuracy, with AUC values for 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival among AKI patients of 0.827, 0.799, and 0.777 in the training dataset, and 0.760, 0.743, and 0.740 in the internal validation dataset, respectively. …”
