    Abstract Background: Patients with hematological malignancies admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) have a poor prognosis. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is used to monitor patients on the ICU. Little is known about the value of this score in hematology patients. Therefore, the prognostic value of the SOFA score and a modified hematological SOFA score (SOFAhem) was studied.
    Methods: Patients with hematological malignancies admitted to the ICU between 1999 and 2009 were analyzed in a retrospective cohort study. The SOFAhem score was defined as the original SOFA score omitting the coagulation and neurological parameters.
    Results: In 149 admissions, ICU mortality was 52%. Mortality was significantly associated with higher SOFA and SOFAhem scores on admission, and trend in SOFAhem scores. An unchanged and increased SOFAhem score compared to decreasing SOFAhem scores was associated with a higher mortality rate (53% resp 67% resp 25%).
    Conclusions: Trends in SOFA or SOFAhem score are both suitable as prognostic parameter. The trend in SOFAhem score seems to be independently related to mortality in hematological patients admitted to the ICU, and because of the higher odds ratios and lower P-values compared to the SOFA score, it is probably stronger related to mortality than the classical score, but its prognostic value should be tested in a larger cohort.

    Abstract Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is defined as a dynamic change in cardiac troponin (cTn) with at least one cTn value exceeding the 99 th percentile of a reference population in combination with typical clinical symptoms. In hemodialysis (HD) patients, a broad range of cTn concentrations is found, partially due to patient-specific comorbidities. Therefore, the 99 th percentile cannot be used in HD patients and decision algorithms to diagnose AMI should be based on temporal variations of troponin. In this study, relative and absolute variations of cTn in a large population of asymptomatic hemodialysis patients were established during a period of 15 months. Patients were stratified according to their history of coronary artery disease (CAD). An intra-individual long term variation of 23% for cTroponin I (cTnI) and 12% for cTroponin T (cTnT) was found for patients without a history of CAD. The corresponding reference change values (RCVs) were 69% and 39% respectively. For patients with a history of CAD this variation was 29% for cTnI and 10% for cTnT, with RCVs of 86% and 35% respectively. During follow up, 27 HD patients developed an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). During these events, irrespective of CAD history, cTnI increased>172% and cTnT increased>97% above baseline cTn as measured during clinically stable periods three months separate to the event. Therefore, if a HD patient has symptoms of an acute event and a cTn increase that exceeds the RCVs described here, AMI may be suspected. If the troponin increase exceeds 172% for cTnI or 97% for cTnT, AMI is likely.

    Abstract Background: The prognosis of patients with haematological malignancies who are admitted to the ICU is generally poor. In order to optimize care, it is important to be able to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from continuation of treatment after ICU admission.
    Methods: Data of 86 patients with a haematological malignancy consecutively admitted to the ICU of Maastricht University Medical Centre were examined in a retrospective cohort study in order to identify clinically useful prognostic parameters.
    Results: ICU mortality was 56% and in-hospital mortality was 65%. Non-survivors had higher APACHE-II and SOFA scores compared with survivors (32±8.0 versus 25±6.5 and 11.5±3.1 versus 8.5±3.0, respectively). The mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with an increasing SOFA score (≥2 points) compared with patients with an unchanged or decreasing SOFA score (72% versus 58% and 21%, respectively). Mortality was also higher in patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation or inotropic/vasopressor therapy.
    Conclusion: The mortality rate among patients with haematological malignancies who are admitted to the ICU is high and mainly associated with the severity of illness, as reflected by more severe and worsening organ failure and a need for mechanical ventilation or inotropic/vasopressor therapy. Several factors appear to be associated with a poor outcome, but no absolute predictors of mortality could be identified, although the results suggest that changes in the SOFA score during the stay in the ICU can be helpful in the decision making about the continuation or discontinuation of treatment.

    Abstract Background: Several biomarkers are associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. In particular, elevated cardiac troponin T and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are strong predictors of mortality; however, less is known about cardiac troponin I (cTnI). Elevated troponin I is detected in many hemodialysis patients, but the association of moderate elevations with mortality is unclear.
    Methods: The relation between mortality and cTnI, using a high-sensitivity cTnI assay, as well as BNP and C-reactive protein (CRP) was evaluated in 206 chronic hemodialysis patients.
    Results: Median follow-up was 28 months with a total mortality of 35%. Mortality was significantly associated with elevated cTnI, BNP and CRP. Even patients with only moderate elevation of cTnI (0.01-0.10 μg/L) showed 2.5-fold increased mortality. Interestingly, hazard ratios for mortality for single (random) measurements were comparable to those for mean/median measurements. Subsequently, subgroup analysis based on combined markers was performed. Patients with both cTnI <0.01 μg/L and BNP in the first quartile had 100% survival. Patients with either cTnI <0.01 μg/L or BNP in the lowest quartile had significantly lower mortality (12% and 13%, respectively) than patients with BNP levels in the second quartile or higher and cTnI of 0.01-0.05 μg/L and patients with cTnI ≥0.05 μg/L (mortality 46 and 58%, respectively).
    Conclusions: A combination of moderate elevation of cTnI and BNP provided additional prognostic value. A single measurement of these biomarkers performed comparably to the mean/median of multiple measurements.

    Abstract Background: Few studies have examined the treatment and outcome of adult-onset minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS). We retrospectively studied 125 patients who had MCNS with onset in either adulthood or late adolescence. Presenting characteristics, duration of initial treatment and response to treatment, relapse patterns, complications, and long-term outcome were studied.
    Study design: Case series.
    Setting & participants: Patients with new-onset nephrotic syndrome 16 years or older and a histologic diagnosis of MCNS in 1985 to 2011 were identified from pathology records of 10 participating centers.
    Outcomes: Partial and complete remission, treatment resistance, relapse, complications, renal survival.
    Results: Corticosteroids were given as initial treatment in 105 (84%) patients. After 16 weeks of corticosteroid treatment, 92 (88%) of these patients had reached remission. Median time to remission was 4 (IQR, 2-7) weeks. 7 (6%) patients initially received cyclophosphamide with or without corticosteroids, and all attained remission after a median of 4 (IQR, 3-11) weeks. 13 (10%) patients reached remission without immunosuppressive treatment. One or more relapses were observed in 57 (54%) patients who received initial corticosteroid treatment. Second-line cyclophosphamide resulted in stable remission in 57% of patients with relapsing MCNS. Acute kidney injury was observed in 50 (40%) patients. Recovery of kidney function occurred almost without exception. Arterial or venous thrombosis occurred in 11 (9%) patients. At the last follow-up, 113 (90%) patients were in remission and had preserved kidney function. 3 patients with steroid-resistant MCNS progressed to end-stage renal disease, which was associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis lesions on repeat biopsy.
    Limitations: Retrospective design, variable treatment protocols.
    Conclusions: The large majority of patients who had MCNS with onset in adulthood or late adolescence were treated with corticosteroids and reached remission, but many had relapses. Cyclophosphamide resulted in stable remission in many patients with relapses. Significant morbidity was observed due to acute kidney injury and other complications. Progression to end-stage renal disease occurred in a few patients and was explained by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
