TL;DR: The results of the analysis of this large population of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock demonstrate that delay in first antibiotic administration was associated with increased in-hospital mortality, and there was a linear increase in the risk of mortality for each hour delay in antibiotic administration.

TL;DR: A minimum set of common outcome measures for studies of COVID-19, which includes a measure of viral burden, patient survival, and patient progression through the health-care system by use of the WHO Clinical Progression Scale are urged.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors did an international audit of ICU patients worldwide and assessed variations between hospitals and countries in terms of the ICU mortality, showing that sepsis remains a major health problem worldwide, associated with high mortality rates in all countries.

TL;DR: The panel selected seven PICO (population–intervention–comparison–outcome) questions that generated a series of recommendations for HAP/VAP diagnosis, treatment and prevention that were adopted by the ERS/ESICM/ESCMID/ALAT panel.

TL;DR: A significant burden of post-viral fatigue is demonstrated in individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection after the acute phase of COVID-19 illness, highlighting the importance of assessing those recovering from CO VID-19 for symptoms of severe fatigue, irrespective of severity of initial illness, and may identify a group worthy of further study and early intervention.
