2. Characteristics and predictors of clinical outcome in patients with pleural effusions caused by heart, liver and renal failure: results from the ERS International Multicentre Pleural Research Collaborative (IMPACT) registryHugh Welch, Steven Walker, Jordy Kerkhoff, Julius Janssen, Silvia Bielsa, C Civit, José M. Porcel, K Fjaellegaard, J Petersen, U Bodtger, Elzbieta Magdalena Grabczak, Mohamed Ellayeh, Aleš Rozman, Mateja Marc-Malovrh, Rahul Bhatnagar, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Introduction Pleural effusions caused by organ dysfunction are the commonest pleural disease and account for a huge healthcare burden. Previous work has demonstrated poor survival rates, but there is still uncertainty about determinants of prognosis. This study describes the characteristics and risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with pleural effusion secondary to organ failure in an international cohort. Methods The European Respiratory Society International Multicentre Pleural Research Collaborative (IMPACT) registry includes an international retrospective study of patients with effusions secondary to heart, liver or renal failure, collected from 10 countries in Europe and North and South America between 2019 and 2021. The data were analysed for associations between baseline patient characteristics and key clinical outcomes. Descriptive data were collected on treatments and complications. Results A total of 755 patients contributed data. Overall, 85.2% of effusions were classified as transudates by Light's criteria. 42% of effusions were bilateral. One-year mortality rates were 46% in renal, 35% in hepatic and 33% in cardiac effusions. Increased mortality was observed in neutrophil-predominant effusions (HR 2.001, 95% CI 1.202–3.349, p=0.008), with age (HR 1.013, 95 CI 1.002–1.024, p=0.02) and with N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide >450 pg·mL−1 (HR 1.508, 95% CI 1.191–1.911) in patients with cardiac failure. Therapeutic thoracentesis was the most frequently employed pleural intervention; indwelling pleural catheter use was rare and associated with higher pleural infection rates than thoracentesis. Conclusion This study identifies prognostic factors in an international cohort of patients with transudative pleural effusions. Identification of these risk factors may support treatment approaches in a global population.

5. Comparison of European ICU patients in 2012 (ICON) versus 2002 (SOAP)Jean Louis Vincent, Jean-Yves Lefrant, Katarzyna Kotfis, Rahul Nanchal, Ignacio Martin-Loeches, Samir G. Sakka, Xavier Wittebole, Peter Pickkers, Rui P. Moreno, Yasser Sakr, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: Purpose: To evaluate differences in the characteristics and outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) patients over time. Methods: We reviewed all epidemiological data, including comorbidities, types and severity of organ failure, interventions, lengths of stay and outcome, for patients from the Sepsis Occurrence in Acutely ill Patients (SOAP) study, an observational study conducted in European intensive care units in 2002, and the Intensive Care Over Nations (ICON) audit, a survey of intensive care unit patients conducted in 2012. Results: We compared the 3147 patients from the SOAP study with the 4852 patients from the ICON audit admitted to intensive care units in the same countries as those in the SOAP study. The ICON patients were older (62.5 +/- 17.0 vs. 60.6 +/- 17.4 years) and had higher severity scores than the SOAP patients. The proportion of patients with sepsis at any time during the intensive care unit stay was slightly higher in the ICON study (31.9 vs. 29.6%, p = 0.03). In multilevel analysis, the adjusted odds of ICU mortality were significantly lower for ICON patients than for SOAP patients, particularly in patients with sepsis [OR 0.45 (0.35-0.59), p < 0.001]. Conclusions: Over the 10-year period between 2002 and 2012, the proportion of patients with sepsis admitted to European ICUs remained relatively stable, but the severity of disease increased. In multilevel analysis, the odds of ICU mortality were lower in our 2012 cohort compared to our 2002 cohort, particularly in patients with sepsis.
