Practice Guideline
Newer Pharmacologic Treatments in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Clinical Guideline From the American College of Physicians.
The American College of Physicians (ACP) developed this clinical guideline to update recommendations on newer pharmacologic treatments of type 2 diabetes. This clinical guideline is based on the best available evidence for effectiveness, comparative benefits and harms, consideration of patients' values and preferences, and costs. ⋯ ACP recommends against adding a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor to metformin and lifestyle modifications in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control to reduce morbidity and all-cause mortality (strong recommendation; high-certainty evidence).

Comparative StudyA comparison of Simplified Acute Physiology Score II and Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment Score for prediction of mortality after Intensive Care Unit cardiac arrest.
This study investigates the predictive value and suitable cutoff values of the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA) and Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS-II) to predict mortality during or after Intensive Care Unit Cardiac Arrest (ICU-CA). ⋯ Compared to SOFA, SAPS-II seems to be more suitable for prediction of hospital and 1-year-mortality after ICU-CA.

Introduction: The global demand for intensive care has risen, given its effectiveness in lowering mortality rates. Mechanical ventilation (MV) is integral to intensive care but introduces risks such as ventilator-associated complications. Ethiopia experiences a high intensive care unit (ICU) mortality rate. ⋯ Conclusion : The study underscores the urgent need for further research, improved ICU infrastructure, and healthcare personnel training in Ethiopia to enhance outcomes for mechanically ventilated patients. Identified factors offer valuable insights for targeted interventions, guiding tailored treatment strategies to reduce mortality. This study contributes to understanding mortality and associated factors in MV patients, informing initiatives to improve critical care outcomes in Ethiopia.
