Background and Aims: The donor risk index (DRI) quantifies donor-related characteristics potentially associated with increased risk of early graft failure. We aimed to assess the impact of the DRI, recipient and perioperative factors on post liver transplant (LT) outcomes. Methods: This was a singlecenter retrospective cohort study including all adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent LT from 01/2019 to 12/201...


Sequential Use of High-Volume Plasma Exchange and Continuous Renal Replacement ...

Bragança, S; Ferraz, M; Germano, N

Background: Acute liver failure (ALF) may represent an indication for liver transplantation (LT). However, in patients who do not meet the criteria or who have contraindications for LT, support measures remain indicated since they may improve survival. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can be considered in the presence of hyperammonemia, 3 times above the upper normal limit, and hepatic encephalopathy...


Fatal Case of Progressive Mpox in a Patient with AIDS—Viral Enteropathy and Mal...

Caria, J; Vara-Luiz, F; Maia, I; Joosten, A; Val-Flores, L; Pinheiro, H; Póvoas, D; Germano, N; Maltez, F

We report a fatal case of disseminated mpox infection that progressed over more than three months in an HIV-infected patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Mucocutaneous, pleuropulmonary, central nervous system, and gastrointestinal involvement was documented. This course of disease resembles progressive vaccinia, a formerly reported disease caused by uncontrolled replication of smallpox vaccin...

Lopes, D; Chumbinho, B; Bandovas, JP; Faria, P; Espírito Santo, C; Ferreira, B; Val-Flores, L; Pereira, R; Germano, N; Bento, L


Variation in the Care of Acute Liver Failure: A Survey of Intensive Care Profes...

Cardoso, FS; Mcphail, MJ; Karvellas, CJ; Fuhrmann, V; Germano, N; Auzinger, G

Introduction: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare disease with potentially high mortality. We sought to assess the individual approach to ALF by intensive care unit (ICU) professionals. Methods: Cross-sectional survey of ICU professionals. Web-based survey capturing data on respondents' demographics, characteristics of patients with ALF admitted to ICU, and their management. Results: Among 204 participants from...



Acute Kidney Injury Associated with COVID-19 Infection: a Case Report

Duarte, T; Caeiro, F; Góis, M; Matos, A; Viana, H; Vieira, C; Paulos, J; Paixão, P; Matos, B; Germano, N; Nolasco, F

SARS-Cov2 infection is a highly transmissible disease associated with serious pulmonary disease. Renal involvement is frequent and associated with poor prognosis; however, mechanisms of kidney injury are not well established. We present a SARS-Cov2 patient with severe acute kidney injury. Kidney biopsy findings revealed a pattern of acute tubular necrosis with isometric vacuolization of the proximal tubule. The...


Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Acute Liver Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study

Sousa Cardoso, F; Pereira, R; Moreno, R; Karvellas, C; Germano, N

Introduction: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare disease that may lead to cerebral edema and death. An increased optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) may reflect an early increase in intracranial pressure. We assessed the feasibility and safety of the ONSD measurement and its association with outcomes in patients with ALF. Methods: This was an open-label prospective cohort study including adult patients with ALF...


Positive Fluid Balance Was Associated with Mortality in Patients with Acute-on-...

Sousa Cardoso, F; Pereira, R; Laranjo, A; Gamelas, V; Bagulho, L; Germano, N; Karvellas, C

Purpose: We aimed to study the effect of FB in the outcomes of critically-ill patients with cirrhosis. Materials: Retrospective analysis of all adult consecutive admissions of patients with cirrhosis and organ failures to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Curry Cabral Hospital (Lisbon, Portugal) and University of Alberta Hospital (Edmonton, Canada) on 08/2013-08/2017. Primary exposure was FB at 3 and 7 days post...
