Comprehensive Investigations of Multiple Factors That Are Related to Refractory Outcome in Urosepsis Patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Urosepsis is an acute life-threating disease, and some cases show refractory outcome to therapy. In an aging society of developed countries, characteristics of urosepsis are becoming complicated. We performed a comprehensive investigation regarding the clinical and social aspects that are related to refractory outcomes in urosepsis patients. Methods: The patient cohort consisted of 66 patients with urosepsis. Multiple factors from clinical and social aspects were reviewed retrospectively. Two categories of refractory outcomes were defined. One was afebrile resistance (AR); fever continued more than 7 days from the initiation of therapy. Another was discharge resistance (DR); hospitalization continued for more than 30 days. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant factors that are related to the AR or DR. Results: Univariate analysis demonstrated that high score of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) (≥ 2) and Age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (≥ 4), high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level (≥ 14.9 mg/dL), and low serum albumin level (≤ 2.26 g/dL) were significantly related to AR. Univariate analysis results also revealed that high score of ECOG PS (≥ 2), high serum creatinine level (≥ 1.54 mg/dL) and vasopressor administration were significantly related to DR. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that low serum albumin level (≤ 2.26g/dL) was the only significant factor that was related to AR. In contrast, high score of ECOG PS (≥ 2) and high serum creatinine level (≥ 1.54 mg/dL) were significant factors that were related to DR. Conclusion: It is suggested that evaluating serum albumin levels is essential for the therapeutic first step because hypoalbuminemia was the significant factor that was related to obstruction to antipyresis. It is also suggested that the deterioration of patients' activities of daily living and renal dysfunction might be the refractory factors for discharge from the hospital, which was the ultimate therapeutic goal.
