          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: refeeding syndrome (RFS) is a metabolic complication in the initial phase of nutritional therapy (NT). Studies evaluating electrolyte abnormalities among patients at risk for RFS undergoing NT in the Emergency Department (ED) are scarce. Objective: to explore the occurrence of electrolyte abnormalities among patients at risk for RFS with enteral nutrition admitted to the ED. Material and methods: a retrospective cohort study that evaluated 440 adult patients undergoing NT, admitted to the ED of a public tertiary teaching hospital regarding RFS risk. Additional eligibility criteria included nutritional assessment by registered dietitians and at least one dose of an electrolyte (sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphate, calcium) ordered by physicians. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results: RFS risk criteria identified 83 (18.9 %) (65.1 % elderly, aged 64.2 ± 11.6 years, 65.1 % male; body mass index, 17.3 ± 3.5 kg/m²) patients at risk, of which 25 (30.1 %) had phosphorus, 48 (57.8 %) magnesium, and 60 (72.3 %) calcium dosages within the first week. All patients at risk for RFS had potassium and sodium evaluations. In those patients were serum levels were checked, hypophosphatemia was identified in 10 (40.0 %), hypomagnesemia in 12 (25.0 %) and hypokalemia in 13 (15.7 %) patients. Almost half of phosphorus assessments resulted from advice by registered dietitians to the staff. Conclusion: electrolyte evaluation was not ordered in all at-risk patients on NT. Despite the small sample, hypophosphatemia was a very common condition among this group. This study highlights the importance of RFS risk screening awareness among NT patients, and the important role of registered dietitians in this context. Larger sample studies are needed to confirm these results.

          Resumen Introducción: el síndrome de realimentación (SR) es una complicación metabólica de la fase inicial del soporte nutricional (SN). Los estudios que evalúan trastornos electrolíticos en pacientes con riesgo de desarrollar SR y sometidos a NT en el servicio de Urgencias (SU) son escasos. Objetivo: explorar la aparición de trastornos electrolíticos en pacientes con riesgo de desarrollar SR con nutrición enteral, ingresados en Urgencias. Material y método: cohorte retrospectiva que evaluó 440 pacientes adultos con SN ingresados en el SU en cuanto al riesgo de desarrollar SR. Los criterios de elegibilidad fueron una evaluación nutricional por dietistas y al menos una dosis de un electrólito (sodio, potasio, magnesio, fosfato, cálcio) a petición de los médicos. Resultados: se identificaron 83 (18,9 %) pacientes con riesgo (65,1 % ancianos, edad de 64,2 ± 11,6 años, 65,1 % de varones; índice de masa corporal, 17,3 ± 3,5 kg/m²), de los que 25 (30,1 %) habían recibido dosis de fósforo, 48 (57,8 %) magnesio y 60 (72,3 %) calcio. Todos los pacientes tenían evaluaciones de potasio y sodio. Entre los pacientes en los que se midieron niveles séricos, se encontró hipofosfatemia en 10 (40,0 %), hipomagnesemia en 12 (25,0 %) e hipopotasemia en 13 (15,7 %). Aproximadamente, la mitad de las evaluaciones de fósforo se llevaron a cabo por consejo de los nutricionistas al personal médico. Conclusión: no se ordenó la evaluación de electrólitos en todos los pacientes con riesgo de SR en SN. A pesar de la pequeña muestra, la hipofosfatemia fue una condición muy común en este grupo. Este estudio destaca la importancia de la concienciación sobre el cribado del riesgo de SR en los pacientes con SN y el importante papel de los nutricionistas en este contexto. Se necesitan estudios con muestras grandes para confirmar estos resultados.

          The Third International Consensus Definitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3).

          Definitions of sepsis and septic shock were last revised in 2001. Considerable advances have since been made into the pathobiology (changes in organ function, morphology, cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, and circulation), management, and epidemiology of sepsis, suggesting the need for reexamination.

            The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement: guidelines for reporting observational studies.

            Much biomedical research is observational. The reporting of such research is often inadequate, which hampers the assessment of its strengths and weaknesses and of a study's generalisability. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Initiative developed recommendations on what should be included in an accurate and complete report of an observational study. We defined the scope of the recommendations to cover three main study designs: cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies. We convened a 2-day workshop in September 2004, with methodologists, researchers, and journal editors to draft a checklist of items. This list was subsequently revised during several meetings of the coordinating group and in e-mail discussions with the larger group of STROBE contributors, taking into account empirical evidence and methodological considerations. The workshop and the subsequent iterative process of consultation and revision resulted in a checklist of 22 items (the STROBE Statement) that relate to the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections of articles. 18 items are common to all three study designs and four are specific for cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional studies. A detailed Explanation and Elaboration document is published separately and is freely available on the Web sites of PLoS Medicine, Annals of Internal Medicine, and Epidemiology. We hope that the STROBE Statement will contribute to improving the quality of reporting of observational studies.
