TL;DR: In the critically ill, hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) are associated with significant mortality as mentioned in this paper , where the authors carried out a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥ 18 years of age) with HA-BSIs treated in intensive care units (ICUs) between June 2019 and February 2021.

TL;DR: BDG with a positive test for CAGTA accurately differentiated Candida colonization from IC in patients with SAC, whereas CRP and PCT did not.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the association between intubation timing and hospital mortality in critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated respiratory failure, and analyzed both the impact of such timing throughout the first four pandemic waves and the influence of prior noninvasive respiratory support on outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article , a multicentre, observational cohort study including consecutive COVID-19 patients admitted to 55 Spanish ICUs was conducted and the primary outcome was 90-day mortality.
