Transitions in care are vulnerable periods in health care that can expose patients to preventable errors due to incomplete or delayed communication between health care providers. Transitioning critically ill patients from intensive care units (ICUs) to other patient care units (PCUs) is particularly risky, due to the high acuity of the patients and...

Walking algorithms using push-off improve moving efficiency and disturbance rejection performance. However, the algorithm based on classical contact force control requires an exact model or a Force/Torque sensor. This paper proposes a novel contact force control algorithm based on neural networks. The proposed model is adapted to a linear quadratic...

Critical care medicine continues to evolve. However, critical care cases require increasing amount of medical resources. Intensive care unit (ICU) mortality significantly impacts the overall efficiency of healthcare resources within a system of limited medical resources. This study investigated the factors related to ICU mortality using long-term n...

The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple and efficient tool to assess the nutritional status of patients with malignancies or after surgery. Because trauma patients constitute a specific population that generally acquires accidental and acute injury, this study aimed to identify the association between the GNRI at admission and morta...

We aimed to describe the association between prehospital frailty (PHF), acute organ dysfunction (AOD), and posthospital disability (PHD) outcome in older adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In a prospective observational cohort study, we assessed PHF using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and assessed the level of AOD using Sequential...

Both low and high body mass index (BMI) are associated with mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although many studies have been done to determine the relationship between BMI and risk of mortality in the ICU, their results were inconsistent. This study aimed to conduct a dose-response meta-analysis of published observational studies to asse...
