RESUMO
Currently, urine output is the leading variable used to tailor fluid resuscitation in patients with large TBSA burns. However, this metric often lags with respect to resuscitation. Our group sought to identify derangements in variables that precede development of oliguria (<30 cc/hr) that we hypothesize will aid in more efficient resuscitation. We performed a retrospective analysis of 146 adult patients admitted within 4 h of a large TBSA (>20%) burn. We then divided them into two cohorts: those who developed oliguria within 6 h of admission and those who did not. Patients who experienced early oliguria had a higher incidence of invasive SBP < 90 (p = 0.02) or DBP < 40 (p = 0.009), lower minimum bicarbonate level (p = 0.04), more full thickness burns (p = 0.004), and higher TBSA (p = 0.01). More female patients were found in the oliguric group (p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis was used to develop a model to predict development of oliguria. When evaluated together, minimum DBP, sex, TBSA (or percent full thickness burn), and maximum base deficit constituted the most parsimonious model that significantly predicted oliguria (AUC = 0.92). Interestingly, the model lost significance when DBP was omitted, highlighting the importance of diastolic pressure in the development of oliguria.

OBJECTIVE: Women with advanced HER2- breast cancer have limited treatment options. Breast MRI functional tumor volume (FTV) is used to predict pathologic complete response (pCR) to improve treatment efficacy. In addition to FTV, background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) may predict response and was explored for HER2- patients in the I-SPY-2 TRIAL. METHODS: Women with HER2- stage II or III breast cancer underwent prospective serial breast MRIs during four neoadjuvant chemotherapy timepoints. BPE was quantitatively calculated using whole-breast manual segmentation. Logistic regression models were systematically explored using pre-specified and optimized predictor selection based on BPE or combined with FTV. RESULTS: A total of 352 MRI examinations in 88 patients (29 with pCR, 59 non-pCR) were evaluated. Women with hormone receptor (HR)+HER2- cancers who achieved pCR demonstrated a significantly greater decrease in BPE from baseline to pre-surgery compared to non-pCR patients (odds ratio 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.39-0.92, P = 0.04). The associated BPE area under the curve (AUC) was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.56-0.98), comparable to the range of FTV AUC estimates. Among multi-predictor models, the highest cross-validated AUC of 0.81 (95% CI: 0.73-0.90) was achieved with combined FTV+HR predictors, while adding BPE to FTV+HR models had an estimated AUC of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.74-0.92). CONCLUSION: Among women with HER2- cancer, BPE alone demonstrated association with pCR in women with HR+HER2- breast cancer, with similar diagnostic performance to FTV. BPE predictors remained significant in multivariate FTV models, but without added discrimination for pCR prediction. This may be due to small sample size limiting ability to create subtype-specific multivariate models.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare the distribution of extracolonic findings and clinical outcomes between screening and diagnostic CT colonography (CTC) populations. METHODS: 388 consecutive patients (369 men, 19 women; mean ± SD age 67.8 ± 10 years) who underwent first-time CTC (4/2011-4/2017) at a Veteran's Affairs Medical Center were divided into screening (asymptomatic) or diagnostic (symptomatic) cohorts based on CTC indication. CTC reporting and data system E-scores for extracolonic findings were retrospectively assigned based on prospective CTC radiologic reports. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the association between E-scores and CTC indication. Electronic medical records of all patients with E3 or E4 scores were reviewed (median follow-up 2.8 years) to determine clinical outcomes. RESULTS: 68% (262/388) underwent screening and 32% (126/388) diagnostic CTC. 7.2% (28/388) had extracolonic findings considered potentially significant (E4), 4.4% (17/388) had indeterminate but likely unimportant findings (E3), and 88.4% (347/388) had normal or unimportant findings (E1 or E2). E-scores were not significantly different between screening and diagnostic CTC when adjusted for age, gender, and prior imaging (p = 0.44). 4.6% (12/262) of patients with E3/E4 findings in the screening cohort demonstrated clinically significant outcomes, compared with 4.0% (5/126) in the diagnostic cohort, including a total of three extracolonic malignancies (0.8%) and three abdominal aortic aneurysms (0.8%). 4.6% (18/388) underwent follow-up imaging studies to confirm a benign outcome after detection of a category E3/E4 finding. CONCLUSIONS: The distribution of extracolonic findings and clinical outcomes were not statistically significantly different between screening and diagnostic CTC populations.
