Aim. To investigate the characteristic of hypertriglyceridemic- (HTG-) induced pancreatitis (HTG pancreatitis).Methods. We reviewed 126 cases of HTG pancreatitis and 168 cases of biliary pancreatitis as control.Results. The HTG group mean age was younger than biliary group. The number of females was a little higher than males in both groups. There were 18 cases that were recurrent in HTG group and 11 in billiary group. The mean hospitalization times were 13.7 ± 2.6 and 11.2 ± 2.3 days in two groups. Six patients received apheresis in HTG group. The proportion of severe AP was 31.0% and 26.2%, mortality 1.6% and 1.2%, comorbidity of diabetes mellitus (DM) 20.6% and 6.5% in two groups. The number of complications of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, sepsis, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in HTG group and biliary group was 1, 1, and 2 versus 4, 12, and 4.Conclusions. The proportion of recurrent and severe AP and comorbidity of DM of HTG group was higher than billiary group. The proportion of the complications of GI bleeding, sepsis, and MODS of HTG group was less than biliary group. Apheresis could effectively reduce serum TG levels soon. There was no significant difference of the mortality between two groups.

BACKGROUND Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) has recently been considered as a defining syndrome of sepsis and is responsible for a high mortality rate among the patients in the intensive care units (ICUs). Prognostication of the ICU patients is an integral part of the management of the critically ill patients and many scoring systems, for that matter, have been devised and compared for their efficiency at predicting mortality. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the validity of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE II) and APACHE IV as mortality predictors in intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from MODS in sepsis. METHODS Hundred patients diagnosed with MODS in sepsis were carefully examined, followed by relevant laboratory investigations. The SOFA score was calculated daily, and the APACHE II and IV scores were calculated on the day of admission. The scores were further compared among the survivors and the non-survivors, followed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of the SOFA D1, D2, and D3 and the APACHE II and IV scores to estimate their capability of mortality prediction. RESULTS The means of the APACHE II, IV and SOFA D1 were 16.57 ± 6.49, 71.91 ± 16.19 and 8.75 ± 2.20, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean APACHE II scores (14.23 ± 5.20 vs. 21.12 ± 6.38) and the mean APACHE IV scores (67.27 ± 13.21 vs. 80.91 ± 17.77) in the survivors and the nonsurvivors. A statistically significant difference was also evident in the mean ages of the survivors and the non-survivors (52.82 ± 14.67 years vs. 63.25 ± 16.98 years). The SOFA score was high among the non-survivors than the survivors right from day-1 (10.24 ± 2.08 vs. 7.98 ± 1.86) to day-20 (15.00 ± 0.00 vs. 3.14 ± 0.38). Furthermore, ROC analysis showed that the best discrimination was provided by SOFA D3 followed by the APACHE II and SOFA D1 scores, with APACHE IV score showing the least. CONCLUSIONS SOFA score on day 3 provides the best mortality prediction in patients with MODS in sepsis, as compared to APACHE II and IV scores.

Abstract: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the leading cause of mortality in patients that still survive in several hours post trauma. Shock index (SI) has been proved to be useful in the early diagnosis of acute hypovolemia in normal blood pressure and pulse condition. It is used to determine the severity of injury and poor outcome in traumatic patient. This study was aimed to obtain the cut-off point ratio of SI which can be used to predict the occurence of MODS and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of SI as a predictor of MODS in multitrauma patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This was a diagnostic test study with a cross sectional design conducted from Febuary 2016 to May 2017. Population and samples were all multitrauma patients during that period of time that met the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed by using cut-off point analysis to obtain the area under curve (AUC), as well as the sensitivity and specificity of SI to MODS. There were 150 multitrauma patients in this study, most were males, with the mean age of 33.99 years. The mean ISS was 28.4, SIRS as many as 68.66%, and the mean shock class was 1.4. There were 63 patients with MODS, 37 patients needed PRC transfusion, and 16 patients died. The AUC 80.5% (95% CI 73.0-88.0%; P = 0.000); SI 0.950588 with the sensitivity 74.6% and specificity 78.2% to MODS. The AUC 74.1% (95% CI 61.1-87.2%; P = 0.002); SI 0.97559 with 75.0% sensitivity and 64.2% spesificity to death. Conclusion: Shock index can be used as a predictor of the occurence of MODS and death in multi-trauma patients.Keywords: SI, MODS, multitraumaAbstrak: Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) merupakan penyebab utama mortalitas pada pasien yang selamat dalam beberapa jam setelah trauma. Shock index (SI) bermanfaat untuk mendiagnosis awal hipovolemia akut pada keadaan tekanan darah dan nadi yang normal dan digunakan sebagai penanda keparahan suatu cedera dan keluaran yang buruk untuk pasien trauma. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan cut off point ratio SI yang dapat digunakan sebagai pedoman untuk memrediksi terjadinya MODS dan menentukan sensitivitas dan spesifitas SI sebagai prediktor MODS pada pasien multitrauma di IRDB RSUP Prof. Dr. R.

Background The Neonatal Multiple Organ Dysfunction (NEO-MOD) scoring system is used to predict mortality in infants with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The NEOMOD scoring system was extended to include involvement of the microvascular system. This modified scoring system was developed to enable more accurate and earlier diagnosis of MODS in premature infants. Objective To evaluate the modified NEOMOD scoring system in preterm infants with MODS and compare its effectiveness with the NEOMOD scoring system. Methods This prospective study was performed in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit. A total of 198 premature infants were enrolled. Infants were evaluated for development of MODS by using the modified NEOMOD scoring system until discharge or death according to clinical and laboratory findings. Infants who had organ dysfunction in 2 or more organ systems had MODS diagnosed. Results In the 160 infants (80.8%) with MODS, the gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, and hematologic system were involved most often. The gastrointestinal system, respiratory system, and acid-base metabolism were involved initially in 99.4%, 86.3%, and 26.3% of infants, respectively. The mean modified NEOMOD score for the infants who died in the first 28 days after birth was significantly higher than the mean score for infants who survived. The number of systems involved was also higher in infants who died. Conclusions The modified NEOMOD scoring system is a safe and accurate tool for determining both mortality rate and dysfunction of multiple organ systems affecting mortality in pre-term infants.

OBJECTIVETraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) occurs frequently after TBI and independently worsens outcome. The present study aimed to identify potential admission characteristics associated with post-TBI MODS.METHODSThe authors performed a secondary analysis of a recent randomized clinical trial studying the effects of erythropoietin and blood transfusion threshold on neurological recovery after TBI. Admission clinical, demographic, laboratory, and imaging parameters were used in a multivariable Cox regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for MODS following TBI, defined as maximum total Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score > 7 within 10 days of TBI.RESULTSTwo hundred patients were initially recruited and 166 were included in the final analysis. Respiratory dysfunction was the most common nonneurological organ system dysfunction, occurring in 62% of the patients. International Mission for Prognosis and Analysis of Clinical Trials (IMPACT) probability of poor outcome at admission was significantly associated with MODS following TBI (odds ratio [OR] 8.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.94–42.68, p < 0.05). However, more commonly used measures of TBI severity, such as the Glasgow Coma Scale, Injury Severity Scale, and Marshall classification, were not associated with post-TBI MODS. In addition, initial plasma concentrations of interleukin (IL)–6, IL-8, and IL-10 were significantly associated with the development of MODS (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.20–1.80, p < 0.001 for IL-6; OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.01–1.58, p = 0.042 for IL-8; OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.24–2.53, p = 0.002 for IL-10) as well as individual organ dysfunction (SOFA component score ≥ 1). Finally, MODS following TBI was significantly associated with mortality (OR 5.95, 95% CI 2.18–19.14, p = 0.001), and SOFA score was significantly associated with poor outcome at 6 months (Glasgow Outcome Scale score < 4) when analyzed as a continuous variable (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06–1.40, p = 0.006).CONCLUSIONSAdmission IMPACT probability of poor outcome and initial plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 were associated with MODS following TBI.
