    Abstract Purpose: Delirium during intensive care unit (ICU) stay may be related to premorbid mental illness. In addition, delirium during ICU stay may also negatively affect long-term health-related quality of life. The aim of our study was to investigate if delirium in the ICU is related to premorbid mental quality of life and affects long-term mental quality of life after ICU stay.
    Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study in 1021 patients admitted for longer than 48 h in a medical-surgical ICU. We evaluated mental and physical quality of life using the Short-form-12 before ICU admission, at hospital discharge, and 3, 6 and 12 months after hospital discharge. Mixed model and logistic regression models were used to analyze the data.
    Results: Patients who experienced a delirium during ICU stay reported a worse pre-admission mental quality of life than those without delirium (p < 0.001). Furthermore, patients who suffered from delirium during their ICU stay exhibited a significant decrease in mental quality of life over time relative to patients without delirium (p = 0.035).
    Conclusion: In this large follow-up study, we demonstrated that ICU survivors who experienced a delirium during ICU stay reported a significantly worse pre-admission mental health-related quality of life and a significant decrease in mental health-related quality of life in the year after hospital discharge compared with patients without delirium.

    Abstract Objective: To determine work participation, social roles, and empowerment of QFS patients ≥10-year after infection.
    Methods: QFS patients ≥10-year after acute infection, who were of working age, participated in a cross-sectional survey study. Work participation, fulfilment of social roles, and empowerment outcomes were studied for the total population, as well as for subgroups based on employment type and current work status. Associations between empowerment, work and social roles were examined.
    Results: 291 participants were included. Of the 250 participants who had paid work before Q-fever, 80.4% stopped working or worked less hours due to QFS. For each social role, more than half of the participants (56.6-87.8%) spent less time on the role compared to before Q-fever. The median empowerment score was 41.0 (IQR: 37.0-44.0) out of 60. A higher empowerment score was significantly associated with lower odds of performing all social roles less due to QFS (OR = 0.871-0.933; p<0.001-0.026), except for parenting and informal care provision (p = 0.070-0.460). No associations were found between empowerment and current work status.
    Conclusion: Work participation and fulfilment of social roles is generally low in QFS patients. Many of the participants stopped working or are working less hours due to QFS, and most spent less time on social roles compared to before Q-fever. Minor variation was seen in total empowerment scores of participants; however, these slight differences were associated with the fulfilment of social roles, but not work participation. This new insight should be further explored in future studies.

    Abstract Abstract: The risk of a venous thrombotic event (VTE) is increased in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV); however, a detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms of hypercoagulability is limited. We assessed prospectively different coagulation parameters in 71 patients with active AAV at baseline and after 6 months of follow-up. D-dimers and fibrinogen were increased in most patients at presentation and remained elevated in half of the patients. Particularly, thrombin-antithrombin (T:AT) complex and activated coagulation factors in complex with their natural inhibitors of the intrinsic coagulation pathway (ie, activated FXII:C1 esterase inhibitor [FXIIa:C1Inh], FXIa:AT, and FXIa:alpha1-antitrypsin [FXIa:α1AT]) were profoundly elevated in patients at baseline. Thrombin formation was dominantly correlated with coagulation factors of the intrinsic pathway (ie, FXIIa:AT, FXIa:AT, FXIa:α1AT, and FXIa:C1Inh) compared to the extrinsic pathway (ie, FVIIa:AT). Hypercoagulability correlated with higher disease activity, ANCA levels, C-reactive protein, serum creatinine, and proteinuria. VTEs were observed in 5 out of 71 (7%) patients within 1 month (interquartile range, 1-5) after inclusion. Baseline T:AT levels were significantly higher in patients with VTE than in those without VTE (P = .044), but other clinical or laboratory markers were comparable between both groups. Hypercoagulability is dominantly characterized by activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway and elevated D-dimers in active AAV. The driving factors of hypercoagulability are yet to be studied but are most likely related to an interplay of increased disease activity, vascular inflammation, and endothelial damage. Future targets for intervention could include inhibitors of the intrinsic coagulation pathway and compounds specifically reducing the hyperinflammatory state.

    Abstract Patients with acute kidney injury who need continuous renal replacement therapy with locoregional citrate anticoagulation are at risk of citrate accumulation with disruption of the calcium balance. We aimed to evaluate the safety of detecting citrate accumulation and adjusting electrolyte disbalances during continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD) in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury using a blood sample frequency every 6 h. A prospective single center study in critically ill intensive care unit patients who suffered from acute kidney injury with the need of renal replacement therapy. We evaluated the deviations in pH, bicarbonate and calcium during CVVHD treatment with local regional citrate anticoagulation. Values indicate median and interquartile range. Severe hypocalcemia (below 1.04 mmol/L) or hypercalcemia (above 1.31 mmol/L) occurred in 10.5% and 4.8% respectively. During treatment changes of systemic ionized calcium, post-filter ionized calcium, pH and bicarbonate were corrected with protocolized adjustments. No arrhythmias or citrate accumulation were seen. The values stabilized after 42 h and after that no statistically significant changes were observed. After 42 h of citrate CVVHD, systemic ionized calcium, pH and bicarbonate levels stabilized. A blood sample frequency every 6 h is probably safe to detect citrate accumulation and to adjust the settings of electrolytes to avoid serious electrolyte disturbances in ICU patients without severe metabolic acidosis or severe liver failure.

    Abstract Many Intensive Care (ICU) survivors experience long lasting impairments in physical and psychological health as well as social functioning. The objective of our study was to evaluate these effects up to 10 years after ICU discharge. We performed a long-term prospective cohort study in patients admitted for longer than 48 h in a medical-surgical ICU. We evaluated health-related quality of life (HRQOL) before ICU admission using the Short-form-36 (SF-36), at ICU discharge, at hospital discharge and at 1, 2, 5 and 10 years follow up (all by patients). Changes in HRQOL were assessed based on linear mixed modeling. We included a total of 749 patients (from 2000 to 2008). During 10 years 475 (63.4%) patients had died, 125 (16.7%) patients were lost to follow up and 149 (19.9%) patients could be evaluated. The mean scores of four HRQOL dimensions (i.e., physical functioning (p < 0.001; mean 54, SD 32, effect size 0.77, 95% CI [0.54-1.0]), role-physical (p < 0.001; mean 44, SD 47, effect size 0.65, 95% CI [0.41-0.68] general health (p < 0.001; mean 52, SD 27, effect size 0.48; 95% CI 0.25-0.71) and social functioning (p < 0.001; mean 72, SD 32, effect size 0.41, 95% CI [0.19-0.64]) were still lower 10 years after ICU discharge compared with pre-admission levels (n = 149) and with an age reference population. Almost all SF-36 dimensions changed significantly over time from ICU discharge up to 10 years after ICU discharge. Over the 10 year follow up physical functioning of medical-surgical ICU survivors remains impaired compared with their pre-admission values and an age reference population. However, effect sizes showed no significant differences suggesting that surviving patients largely regained their age-specific HRQOL at 10 years.
