    Abstract Given the psychic strain patients experience in the intensive care unit (ICU), a potential risk of mental disorders has been suggested. However, the effects of intensive care treatment per se are unknown. We investigated whether the level of intensive care treatments is an independent risk factor for developing long-term mental disorders after intensive care. In a national cohort of adult ICU patients we combined data on diagnoses, treatment, and causes of death. We defined extensive ICU treatment as being treated with invasive ventilation for > 24 h, continuous renal replacement therapy, or both. The primary outcome was incident mental disorder 1 year after ICU admission. Extensive ICU treatment was found to be associated with a decreased risk of developing a mental disorder ≥ 1 year after ICU admission (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.82-0.99, p = 0.04), and increasing severity of acute illness (HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.06-1.32, p < 0.001) were associated with an increased risk of mental disorders. Because death acted as a competing risk for mental illness, mortality might help explain the apparent protective effect of extensive ICU care.Trial registration Clinical Trials Registry (Identification number NCT05137977). Registered 16 November 2021. As a registry trial the patients were already included at the trial registration i.e. it was retrospectively registered.

    Abstract Background: Cancer and sepsis share risk factors, and sepsis patients may have impaired immune response and increased morbidity long after intensive care. This study aimed to assess whether sepsis survivors are at increased risk for cancer. Our objective was to assess the incidence of new cancer in 1-year sepsis survivors and test the hypothesis that it is higher than that of the general population.
    Methods: We obtained data on ICU admissions of adult patients from Swedish Intensive care registry (SICR) from 2005 to 2017. We included patients with an explicit ICD-10 code for sepsis for the primary ICU admission. We obtained data on cancer diagnoses (2001-2018), death (2005-2018) and emigration (2005-2018) from Cancer and Cause of death and National Patient Registry databases of the National Board of Health and Welfare; age and sex-specific cancer incidence rates in Sweden from NORDCAN registry from 2006 to 2018. One-year survivors formed the final cohort, that was followed for new cancer diagnoses until death, emigration, or end of 2018, whichever came first. The main outcome measure was standardized incidence rate ratio (SIR) to compare the incidence of cancer in 1-year sepsis survivors to that in the general population (NORDCAN). We also performed several sensitivity analyses.
    Results: In a cohort of 18,550 1-year survivors, 75,427 person years accumulated during a median follow-up (FU) of 3.36 years (IQR 1.72-5.86), 6366 (34.3%) patients died, and 1625 (8.8%) patients were diagnosed with a new cancer after a median FU of 2.51 (IQR 1.09-4.48) years. The incidence ratio of any new cancer over the whole FU was 1.31 (95% CI 1.23-1.40) for men and 1.74 (95% CI 1.61-1.88) for women. The difference in incidence rates persisted in several sensitivity analyses. The SIRs were highest in cancers of gastrointestinal tract, genital organs, and skin.
    Conclusion and relevance: Compared to general population, incidence of cancer is increased in 1-year sepsis survivors. Variation in the findings depending on follow-up time suggests that factors other than sepsis alone are involved. Surveillance for malignant disease may be warranted in sepsis survivors.

    Abstract The outcome for patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains poor. Low serum uromodulin (sUMOD) protein levels have been proposed as a causal mediator of this effect. We investigated the effect of different levels of sUMOD on the risk of sepsis and severe pneumonia and outcomes in these conditions. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with increased levels of sUMOD were identified and used as instrumental variables for association with outcomes. Data from different cohorts were combined based on disease severity and meta-analyzed. Five SNPs associated with increased sUMOD levels were identified and tested in six datasets from two biobanks. There was no protective effect of increased levels of sUMOD on the risk of sepsis [two cohorts, odds ratio (OR) 0.99 (95% confidence interval 0.95-1.03),

    Abstract Background: Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a severe and often fatal fungal infection that affects critically ill patients. The development of animal models that mimic human disease is essential for advancing our understanding of IC pathophysiology and testing experimental or novel treatments. We aimed to develop a large animal model of IC that could provide a much-needed addition to the widely used murine models.
    Results: A total of 25 pigs (including one control), aged between 9 and 12 weeks, with a median weight of 25.1 kg (IQR 24.1-26.2), were used to develop the porcine IC model. We present the setup, the results of the experiments, and the justification for the changes made to the model. The experiments were conducted in an intensive care setting, using clinically relevant anaesthesia, monitoring and interventions. The final model used corticosteroids, repeated Candida inoculation, and continuous endotoxin. The model consistently demonstrated quantifiable growth of Candida in blood and organs. The registered physiological data supported the development of the sepsis-induced circulatory distress observed in IC patients in the ICU.
    Conclusions: Our proposed porcine model of IC offers a potential new tool in the research of IC.

    Abstract Background: In intensive care, different central venous catheters (CVC) are often used for infusion of drugs. If a patient is treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) a second catheter, a central venous dialysis catheter (CVDC), is needed. Placing the catheters close together might pose a risk that a drug infused in a CVC could be directly aspirated into a CRRT machine and cleared from the blood without giving the effect intended. The purpose of this study was to elucidate if drug clearance is affected by different catheter placement, during CRRT. In this endotoxaemic animal model, an infusion of antibiotics was administered in a CVC placed in the external jugular vein (EJV). Antibiotic clearance was compared, whether CRRT was through a CVDC placed in the same EJV, or in a femoral vein (FV). To reach a target mean arterial pressure (MAP), noradrenaline was infused through the CVC and the dose was compared between the CDVDs.
    Results: The main finding in this study was that clearance of antibiotics was higher when both catheter tips were in the EJV, close together, compared to in different vessels, during CRRT. The clearance of gentamicin was 21.0 ± 7.3 vs 15.5 ± 4.2 mL/min (p 0.006) and vancomycin 19.3 ± 4.9 vs 15.8 ± 7.1 mL/min (p 0.021). The noradrenaline dose to maintain a target MAP also showed greater variance with both catheters in the EJV, compared to when catheters were placed in different vessels.
    Conclusion: The results in this study indicate that close placement of central venous catheter tips could lead to unreliable drug concentration, due to direct aspiration, during CRRT.

    Abstract Background: Major surgery entails the risk of severe hemorrhage, and an optimized substitution with red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusions necessitate rapid test results for RBCs/hemoglobin (HGB)/hematocrit (HCT), and PLTs. The HemoScreen (PixCell Medical, Yokneam Ilit, Israel) is an automated point-of-care hematology analyzer employing image analysis and single-use cuvettes. This study aimed to investigate the correspondence between the HemoScreen and standard laboratory testing (SLT) using the Sysmex XN-9000 in patients undergoing major surgery and to evaluate the feasibility in the operating theater.
    Methods: A total of 145 blood samples from 91 adult patients were sampled during abdominal and orthopedic surgery and analyzed on both cell counters. Coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated, Passing-Bablok regression analysis was performed, and Bland-Altman plots were constructed. User experience was assessed through a questionnaire.
    Results: The HemoScreen showed imprecision with a CV below 5%. Passing-Bablok regression showed positive proportional and negative constant errors for HGB and HCT, a positive proportional error for PLTs, but no dif-ference for RBCs. Bias in the Bland-Altman plots with limits of agreement: RBCs 0.09 x 1012/L (+/- 0.20 x 1012/L), HGB 1.1 g/L (+/- 8.4 g/L), HCT 0.4 % (+/- 2.6%), and PLTs 28.8 x 109/L (+/- 33 x 109/L). The analyzer was scored easy to use with shorter turnaround times compared to SLT.
    Conclusions: The HemoScreen is feasible and provides rapid test results with acceptable accuracy for the evaluated application but the two methods cannot be regarded as interchangeable based on the results in this study.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis is a condition where the immune response to infection becomes dysregulated and life-threatening. It is not known whether lifestyle factors influence the risk of sepsis. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association between physical activity and the risk of acquiring and dying in infection or sepsis.
    Methods: The population-based Swedish Mammography Cohort and Cohort of Swedish Men sent participants lifestyle questionnaires in 1997 and have subsequently followed participants in national Swedish registers, including the National Patient Register, the Swedish Intensive Care Registry and the Cause of Death Register. The risk of contracting infection and sepsis, the risk of intensive care unit admission and the risk of death were estimated using multivariable Cox regression.
    Results: Among 64,850 cohort participants, 26,124 individuals suffered at least one episode of infection or sepsis and 4708 individuals died of infection or sepsis during the study period. In adjusted analyses, compared to exercising less than one hour per week, stated exercise one hour per week was associated with lower risk of contracting infection or sepsis, hazard ratio (HR) 0.93 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.90-0.97), and lower risk of dying in infection or sepsis, HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.80-0.96). Further exercise was associated with even lower risk, and similar patterns were observed for walking. The population-attributable risks of contracting and dying in infection or sepsis for not exercising were 2.6% and 4.5%, respectively.
    Conclusions: Exercise and walking demonstrate inverse dose-response associations with both the risk of contracting and dying in infection and sepsis, presenting possible preventative interventions for this critical condition.
