However, evidence supporting the appropriate choice of vasoactive agent is limited. This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of different first-line vasoactive strategies on mortality in pediatric FRSS. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov , and the ISRCTN registry were searched up until December 2023. Randomized controlled trials and observational cohort studies reporting vasoactive agent-specific outcomes of children with FRSS were included. Mortality was assessed as primary outcome in studies on patients receiving dopamine, epinephrine, or norepinephrine as first-line. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted. Prevalence ratio (PR) estimates were calculated between two drugs when was available in the same study. Findings: Of the 26,284 identified articles, 13 were included, for a total of 997 children. Twelve studies included 748 patients receiving a single vasoactive agent. Of these, 361 received dopamine, 271 epinephrine, and 116 norepinephrine. Overall pooled mortality for patients receiving a single vasoactive was 12% (95% CI 6%-21%) of which 11% (95% CI 3%-36%) for patients receiving dopamine, 17% (95% CI 6%-37%) for epinephrine, and 7% (95% CI 1%-48%) for norepinephrine. Four first-line dopamine (176 patients) and first-line epinephrine (142 patients): dopamine showed a tendency toward higher mortality (PR 1.38, 95% CI 0.81-2.38) and a significant higher need for mechanical ventilation (PR 1.12, 95% CI 1.02-1.22). Interpretation: Among children with FRSS receiving a single vasoactive agent, norepinephrine was associated with the lowest mortality rate. Comparing dopamine and epinephrine, patients receiving epinephrine needed less mechanical ventilation and showed a trend for lower mortality rate. Further research is needed to better delineate the first-line vasoactive agent in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":"599-611"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142000633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fatty livers are more susceptible to IR stress. Recent studies have demonstrated that S100A9 plays a crucial role in both IR injury and the progression of liver steatosis. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. In our study, transcriptome analysis of fatty livers subjected to IR insult in mice identified S100A9 as an important mediator. Employing loss-of-function approaches, we investigated the immune regulatory function of S100A9 and its downstream signaling in fatty liver IR injury. As expected, S100A9 emerged as one of the most significantly upregulated genes during the reperfusion stage in fatty livers. Genetic knockdown of S100A9 markedly ameliorated liver pathological damage, evidenced by reduced macrophage/neutrophil infiltration as well as the decreased expression of proinflammatory factors. Transcriptome/functional studies revealed that S100A9 triggered liver inflammatory response via regulating Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)/Activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) signaling. Additionally, TLR2 expression was notably increased in macrophages from ischemic fatty livers. In vitro, recombinant S100A9-stimulated macrophages exhibited the elevated production of proinflammatory factors and TLR2/ATF4 pathway activation.

Mean absolute SHAP values revealed ISS (0.46), age (0.29), and absence of comorbidities (0.16) as most influential in predictions. Dependency plots showed greater SHAP values for greater ISS, age, and presence of comorbidities.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Machine learning may outperform prior attempts at predicting the risk of unplanned ICU admissions in trauma patients while identifying unique predictors. Despite this progress, further research is needed to improve predictive performance by addressing class imbalance limitations.</p>","PeriodicalId":21667,"journal":{"name":"SHOCK","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142507125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
