Purpose One potential way to protect patients from the physiological demands that are a consequence of fever is to aim to prevent fever and to treat it assiduously when it occurs. Our primary hypothesis was that more active fever management would increase survival among patient subgroups with limited physiological reserves such as older patients, patients with higher illness acuity, and those requiring organ support. Methods We conducted an individual-level patient data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials to compare the outcomes of ICU patients who received more active fever management with the outcomes of patients who received less active fever management. The primary outcome variable of interest was the unadjusted time to death after randomisation. Results Of 1413 trial participants, 707 were assigned to more active fever management and 706 were assigned to less active fever management. There was no statistically significant heterogeneity in the effect of more active compared with less active fever management on survival in any of the pre-specified subgroups that were chosen to identify patients with limited physiological reserves. Overall, more active fever management did not result in a statistically significant difference in survival time compared with less active fever management [hazard ratio 0.91; (95% CI 0.75-1.10), P = 0.32]. Conclusions Our findings do not support the hypothesis that more active fever management increases survival compared with less active fever management overall or in patients with limited physiological reserves., Author(s): Paul J.

CRITICALLY ill ,PUBLIC health infrastructure - Abstract
A point prevalence study was conducted in Australia and New Zealand to determine the number of critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) who would benefit from spending time outdoors, the number of patients actually taken outdoors, and the availability of outdoor facilities. The study found that 24% of ICU patients were believed to benefit from time outdoors, but only 1.1% actually spent time outside. Reasons for not taking patients outdoors included unsuitable weather, patient clinical condition, and inadequate staffing resources. The study suggests that more attention should be given to enabling patient-centered care that incorporates the possibility of time outdoors. [Extracted from the article]

Purpose To determine differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), survival and healthcare resource use of critically ill adults with and without sepsis. Methods We conducted a primary propensity score matched analysis of patients with and without sepsis enrolled in a large multicentre clinical trial. Outcomes included HRQoL at 6 months, survival to 2 years, length of ICU and hospital admission and cost of ICU and hospital treatment to 2 years. Results We obtained linked data for 3442 (97.3%) of 3537 eligible patients and matched 806/905 (89.0%) patients with sepsis with 806/2537 (31.7%) without. After matching, there were no significant differences in the proportion of survivors with and without sepsis reporting problems with mobility (37.8% vs. 38.7%, p = 0.86), self-care (24.7% vs. 26.0%, p = 0.44), usual activities (44.5% vs. 46.8%, p = 0.28), pain/discomfort (42.4% vs. 41.6%, p = 0.54) and anxiety/depression (36.9% vs. 37.7%, p = 0.68). There was no significant difference in survival at 2 years: 482/792 (60.9%) vs. 485/799 (60.7%) (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.86-1.18, p = 0.94). The initial ICU and hospital admission were longer for patients with sepsis: 10.1 ± 11.9 vs. 8.0 ± 9.8 days (p < 0.0001) and 22.8 ± 21.2 vs. 19.1 ± 19.0 days, (p = 0.0003) respectively. The cost of ICU admissions was higher for patients with sepsis: A$43,345 ± 46,263 ([euro]35,109 ± 35,043) versus 34,844 ± 38,281 ([euro]28,223 ± 31,007), mean difference $8501 ([euro]6885), 95% CI $4342-12,660 ([euro]3517 ± 10,254), p < 0.001 as was the total cost of hospital treatment to 2 years: A$74,120 ± 60,750 ([euro]60,037 ± 49,207) versus A$65,806 ± 59,856 ([euro]53,302 ± 48,483), p = 0.005. Conclusions Critically ill patients with sepsis have higher healthcare resource use and costs but similar survival and HRQoL compared to matched patients without sepsis., Author(s): Kelly Thompson [sup.1] [sup.2], Colman Taylor [sup.1] [sup.2], Stephen Jan [sup.1] [sup.2], Qiang Li [sup.1], Naomi Hammond [sup.1] [sup.2] [sup.3] [sup.4], John Myburgh [sup.1] [sup.2] [sup.5], Manoj Saxena [sup.1] [...]

Background Fever suppression may be beneficial for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke, but for patients with meningitis or encephalitis [central nervous system (CNS) infection], the febrile response may be advantageous. Objective To evaluate the relationship between peak temperature in the first 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and all-cause hospital mortality for acute neurological diseases. Design, setting and participants Retrospective cohort design from 2005 to 2013, including 934,159 admissions to 148 ICUs in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and 908,775 admissions to 236 ICUs in the UK. Results There were 53,942 (5.8 %) patients in ANZ and 56,696 (6.2 %) patients in the UK with a diagnosis of TBI, stroke or CNS infection. For both the ANZ (P = 0.02) and UK (P < 0.0001) cohorts there was a significant interaction between early peak temperature and CNS infection, indicating that the nature of the relationship between in-hospital mortality and peak temperature differed between TBI/stroke and CNS infection. For patients with CNS infection, elevated peak temperature was not associated with an increased risk of death, relative to the risk at 37-37.4 °C (normothermia). For patients with stroke and TBI, peak temperature below 37 °C and above 39 °C was associated with an increased risk of death, compared to normothermia. Conclusions The relationship between peak temperature in the first 24 h after ICU admission and in-hospital mortality differs for TBI/stroke compared to CNS infection. For CNS infection, increased temperature is not associated with increased risk of death., Author(s): Manoj Saxena [sup.1] [sup.2], Paul Young [sup.3] [sup.4], David Pilcher [sup.5] [sup.6] [sup.7], Michael Bailey [sup.5], David Harrison [sup.8], Rinaldo Bellomo [sup.5], Simon Finfer [sup.1] [sup.9], Richard Beasley [sup.4], [...]

Purpose: It is unknown whether protocols targeting systematic prevention and treatment of fever achieve lower mean body temperature than usual care in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The objective of the Randomised Evaluation of Active Control of temperature vs. ORdinary temperature management trial was to confirm the feasibility of such a protocol with a view to conducting a larger trial.Methods: We randomly assigned 184 adults without acute brain pathologies who had a fever in the previous 12 h, and were expected to be ventilated beyond the calendar day after recruitment, to systematic prevention and treatment of fever or usual care. The primary outcome was mean body temperature in the ICU within 7 days of randomisation. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, ICU-free days and survival time censored at hospital discharge.Results: Compared with usual temperature management, active management significantly reduced mean temperature. In both groups, fever generally abated within 72 h. The mean temperature difference between groups was greatest in the first 48 h, when it was generally in the order of 0.5 °C. Overall, 23 of 89 patients assigned to active management (25.8%) and 23 of 89 patients assigned to usual management (25.8%) died in hospital (odds ratio 1.0, 95% CI 0.51-1.96, P = 1.0). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in ICU-free days or survival to day 90.Conclusions: Active temperature management reduced body temperature compared with usual care; however, fever abated rapidly, even in patients assigned to usual care, and the magnitude of temperature separation was small.Trial Registration: Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry Number, ACTRN12616001285448.
