The duration of intra-abdominal hypertension strongly predicts outcomes for the @entity3124 surgical XXXX : a prospective observational study.

@entity1 @entity8 @entity295 @entity3124 @entity8479
INTRODUCTION: @entity8479 ( @entity8479 ) is associated with morbidity and mortality in @entity3124 @entity1 . The present study analyzed the clinical significance of @entity8479 in surgical @entity1 with severe @entity295 . METHODS: This was a prospective study carried out in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). Intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was measured three times a day via a urinary catheter filled with 25  mL of saline. @entity8479 was defined as an IAP   >=    12  mmHg, and the peak IAP was recorded as the IAP for the day. Data were analyzed in terms of @entity8479 development and the @entity8479 duration. RESULTS: Of the 46 @entity1 enrolled in the study, 42 developed @entity8479 while in the SICU. The development of @entity8479 aggravated the clinical outcomes; such as longer SICU stay, requirement of ventilator support, and delayed initiation of enteral feeding (EF). The @entity8479 duration showed a significant correlation with @entity8 , and enteral feeding. The @entity8479 duration was an independent predictor of 60-day mortality (odds ratio: 1.196; p   =   0.014). CONCLUSIONS: The duration of @entity8479 is a more important prognostic factor than the development of @entity8479 ; thus every effort should be made to reduce the @entity8479 duration in @entity3124 @entity1 . TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01784458.
