Addition of 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels to the Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index improves 90-day mortality prediction in critically ill patients
Mahato, Bisundev; Otero, Tiffany M. N.; Holland, Carrie A.; Giguere, Patrick T.; Bajwa, Ednan K.; Camargo, Carlos A.; Quraishi, Sadeq A. (BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index (DCCI) has low predictive value in the intensive care unit (ICU). Our goal was to determine whether addition of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels to the DCCI improved 90-day ... -
The Genetics of Acute Lung Injury: Looking Back and Pointing the Way Forward
Bajwa, Ednan Khalid (BioMed Central, 2009)Individual genetic factors have long been suspected of playing a major role in susceptibility to acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Flores and colleagues evaluate the quality of published studies ... -
Plasma Gelsolin Depletion and Circulating Actin in Sepsis—A Pilot Study
Lee, Po-Shun; Patel, Sanjay R; Christiani, David C.; Bajwa, Ednan Khalid; Stossel, Thomas Peter; Waxman, Aaron Bradley (Public Library of Science, 2008)Background: Depletion of the circulating actin-binding protein, plasma gelsolin (pGSN) has been described in septic patients and animals. We hypothesized that the extent of pGSN reduction correlates with outcomes of septic ... -
Prognostic Significance of Elevated Cardiac Troponin-T Levels in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients
Rivara, Matthew B.; Bajwa, Ednan Khalid; Januzzi, James Louis; Gong, Michelle Ng; Thompson, B. Taylor; Christiani, David C. (Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: Elevated levels of biochemical markers of myocardial necrosis have been associated with worsened outcomes in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), but there are few prospective data on this relationship. ... -
Relationship Between Upper Respiratory Tract Influenza Test Result and Clinical Outcomes Among Critically Ill Influenza Patients
Reddy, Krishna P.; Bajwa, Ednan K.; Parker, Robert A.; Onderdonk, Andrew B.; Walensky, Rochelle P. (Oxford University Press, 2016)Among critically ill patients with lower respiratory tract (LRT)-confirmed influenza, we retrospectively observed worse 28-day clinical outcomes in upper respiratory tract (URT)-negative versus URT-positive subjects. This ...
