Smartphone applications for measuring noise in the intensive care unit: A feasibility study.
This study aims to explore the suitability of using smartphone applications with low-cost external microphones in measuring noise levels in intensive care units. ⋯ Smartphone apps and low-cost external microphones can be used reliably to measure the average noise level in the intensive care unit after acoustic calibration. However, professional equipment is still necessary for accurate measurement of the maximum noise level.

Previously healthy adults among septic patients: Population-level epidemiology and outcomes.
Previously healthy adults with community-onset sepsis were recently reported to have, counterintuitively, higher short-term mortality than those with comorbid conditions. However, the population-level generalizability of this finding and its applicability to all hospitalized septic patients are unclear. ⋯ Previously healthy septic patients had lower short-term mortality compared to those with comorbid conditions.
