The literature is sparse on the outcomes of critically ill patients with TTP managed in intensive care units (ICUs). We aimed to determine the mortality of ICU patients admitted with TTP and evaluate the predictors of survival. We also compared the incidence of nosocomial infection among those who did or did not receive plasma exchange (PE). Methods We conducted a retrospective study in a tertiary ICU. Two authors screened patients for eligibility from the hospital information system based on peripheral smear reports. Adult critically ill TTP patients managed in ICU were included. Patients with a diagnosis of haemolytic uraemic syndrome, autoimmune causes of haemolysis and pregnancy-related conditions, etc. were excluded. Two authors extracted data from medical charts. No imputation of missing variables was done. Non-parametric statistics were used to report data. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata version 16. Results Of the 535 records that were screened, 33 patients were deemed eligible. Mortality among TTP patients was 14 (42%). The women to men ratio was 7:3. At admission, greater degree of anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and higher lactate dehydrogenase levels were observed in non-survivors compared to survivors (5.4 g/dl [4.8-7.1] v. 7.6 g/dl [6.1-8.9], p=0.05; 17x103 μl v. 21x103 μl, p=0.63; and 2987 (1904-3614) U/L v. 2126 U/L (1941-3319), p=0.71; respectively]. Nineteen (57%) patients had acute kidney injury (AKI), of which 11 survived: 6 recovered completely from renal failure and 5 progressed to end-stage renal disease. Nosocomial infection rates were not different among those receiving and not receiving PE therapy (7 [33%] v. 3 [25%], respectively). Conclusion TTP is more common in women and has a high mortality. Older age, low haemoglobin and higher platelet transfusions are predictors of poor survival. Nosocomial infection rates were similar irrespective of receiving PE therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"36 5","pages":"295-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140960712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed the prevalence of anxiety and depression in couples undergoing treatment for infertility with assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs). Methods We included 160 married couples undergoing treatment for infertility at an ART centre. The prevalence of anxiety and depression was assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression scale. Results The prevalence of anxiety and depression was 46.2% and 40.9%, respectively. Women had higher mean (SD) anxiety (10.76 [2.69]) and depression (9.86 [2.06]) scores; however, this gender difference was statistically significant only with respect to anxiety (p=0.02). The mean anxiety scores were highest among both genders when the cause of infertility was attributed to both partners and during the first year and 10 years after treatment. Men in the age groups of 20-24 years and 40-44 years and those with no prior treatment had a statistically significant association with the highest anxiety scores. The mean depression scores showed a statistically significant decline in both genders with increasing age. Among men, the mean depression scoreswere significantly higher in those with no prior treatment, male cause of infertility and during the first year and after 10 years of treatment. Conclusion The prevalence of anxiety and depression among infertile couples undergoing treatment with ART was almost twice as high as that in the general population. The mean anxiety scores were significantly associated with duration of treatment and gender-based attribution in both genders; however, age and prior treatment were associated with only men. The mean scores of depression were significantly associated with age in both genders, while duration of treatment, gender-based attribution and prior treatment were significantly associated only with men.</p>","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"36 5","pages":"286-290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140960143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elevated troponin represents the likely occurrence of myocardial necrosis and does not itself provide any indication of the aetiology. Identifying the cause for troponin elevation and its sensitivity and specificity in predicting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiac mortality is an important step in determining the optimal management for these patients. Methods We retrospectively collected data of inpatients who had troponin I (TnI) testing as part of their clinical assessment, either in the emergency department, medical wards, coronary care unit (CCU) or intensive care unit (ICU) with their final diagnosis. TnI was used as the index test of sensitivity to diagnose ACS and either echocardiography or coronary angiogram in those available as the reference gold standard. They were classified into two groups of normal and elevated TnI, and further divided into those with ACS and no ACS. Data on clinical parameters and aetiology of elevated TnI in patients without ACS were analysed. Results Of the 254 patients studied, 114 patients (45%) had normal TnI and 140 (55%) had elevated TnI. Seventy-eight patients had ACS, 66 (84.6%) of whom had elevated TnI and 12 (15.38%) had normal TnI. Seventy-four (52.85%) of 140 patients with elevated TnI had alternate causes of TnI elevation; the most common being sepsis, acute kidney injury (AKI) and heart failure without ACS. All-cause mortality was significantly higher in patients with elevated TnI with or without ACS. There was no cardiac mortality among patients with ACS with normal TnI. Sensitivity and specificity of TnI for predicting ACS was 84.6% (95% CI 74.7%-91.8%) and 58% (95% CI 50.3%-65.3%), respectively. Conclusion A variety of conditions apart from myocardial infarction can lead to elevated TnI. Hence, caution should be exercised while diagnosing a patient with ACS based on TnI value in the absence of other supporting evidence given its low specificity. Elevated TnI portends a worse prognosis regardless of the aetiology and has a role in predicting all-cause and cardiac mortality.</p>","PeriodicalId":519891,"journal":{"name":"The National medical journal of India","volume":"36 5","pages":"305-309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140960165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
