We prospectively analyzed 70 consecutive @entity1 who developed @entity810 ( @entity810 ) in the intensive care unit (ICU) during a six year period to define prognostic factors and outcome. Age, sex, preexisting @entity102 , @entity281 , number of organs failing during the disease course, need and mode of renal replacement therapy (RRT), and length of stay in ICU were recorded. Analysis of factors in survivors (n=7, @entity33009 ) and nonsurvivors (n=63, @entity36678 ) was done by univariate and multivariate analysis. The mean age of @entity1 was 28.6 years. Forty nine (70%) @entity1 developed @entity810 following surgery, whereas 21 (30%) developed @entity810 in a medical setting. Cardiovascular surgery (39) and pancreatic surgery (7) were important causes in the surgical group, whereas in the medical group acute @entity788 (11) was the main causative factor. One @entity1 had @entity810 only, while in the rest, other organs were also involved. In more than 80% of these @entity1 , organ failure and @entity295 were present before the onset of @entity810 . Fifty two (74.3%) @entity1 required dialytic support. The overall mortality was 90%. Number of organs failing, (1.5 +/-9 in @entity33009 vs 3.6 +/- 8 in @entity36678 ), presence of @entity281 (1 in @entity33009 vs 55 in @entity36678 ), prolonged stay in ICU (3.7 +/- 1.1 days in @entity33009 vs 8.0 +/- 5.4 in @entity36678 ) and need for RRT (2 in @entity33009 vs 50 in @entity36678 ) correlated with the mortality. Using multiple logistic regression analysis, only @entity881 (3 or more) correlated with the mortality. We conclude that @entity881 is a poor prognostic factor in @entity1 with @entity810 in the setting of the ICU.
