Multicenter StudyMachine learning to predict 30-day quality-adjusted survival in critically ill patients with cancer.
To develop and compare the predictive performance of machine-learning algorithms to estimate the risk of quality-adjusted life year (QALY) lower than or equal to 30 days (30-day QALY). ⋯ Except for basic decision trees, predictive models derived from different machine-learning algorithms discriminated the QALY risk at 30 days well. Regarding calibration, artificial neural network model presented the best ability to estimate 30-day QALY in critically ill oncologic patients admitted to ICUs.

Multicenter StudyTHAI-ICU score as a simplified severity score for critically ill patients in a resource limited setting: Result from SEA-AKI study group.
To create a simplified ICU scoring system to predict mortality in critically ill patients that can be feasibly applied in resource limited setting with good performance of predicting hospital mortality. ⋯ The THAI-ICU score is a new simplified severity score for predicting hospital mortality. The simplicity of the score will increase the possibility to apply in resource limited settings.

Multicenter StudyChanges in frailty among ICU survivors and associated factors: Results of a one-year prospective cohort study using the Dutch Clinical Frailty Scale.
Frailty is an important predictor for the prognosis of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This study examined changes in frailty in the year after ICU admission, and its associated factors. ⋯ ClinicalTrials.gov database (NCT03246334).

Multicenter StudyFamily ratings of ICU care. Is there concordance within families?
To examine heterogeneity of quality-of-care ratings within families and to examine possible predictors of concordance. ⋯ The finding that variance is higher within than between families suggests the value of including multiple participants within a family in order to capture varying points of view.

Multicenter StudyArabic intensive care delirium screening checklist's validity and reliability: A multicenter study.
To develop an Arabic version of Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC) and assess its validity and reliability among critically ill patients. ⋯ Arabic ICDSC is a valid and reliable delirium-screening tool among Arabic-speaking ICU population. Future studies could address whether these findings are generalizable to a higher proportion of mechanically ventilated patients, and address acceptability and reliability in other Arabic language critical care settings.
