@MarkOldhamMD @devlinpharmd @PharmDuprey@timothygirard We are currently working on functional (IADL, ADL) and cognitive (RBANS) data from AID-ICU participants assessed at one-year follow-up. Lastly, we will investigate heterogeneity of treatment effect further in collaboration with american colleagues. So more data is on its way!
@MarkOldhamMD @devlinpharmd @PharmDuprey@timothygirard Summarised data for mortality from 4 RCT of haloperidol vs. placebo used to treat delirium is available here: https://t.co/baD4dswFeC
Haloperidol vs placebo in acutely admitted critically ill adults with delirium, follow-up of AID #ICU trial
💉treatment with haloperidol reduces long-term mortality but doesn't appear to improve longterm outcome of health-related quality of life

Thrombocytopenia in #ICU, PLOT‑ICU study
🩸observed in 43% critically ill adults associated with worse outcomes (½ at admission, with increased mortality)
🩸PLT transfusions frequently used (23%) if severe/very severe thrombocytopenia, most prophylactic

In great company with @timothygirard and @AndersPerner we discuss #AIDICU and #MINDUSA and the current evidence we have for the effects of haloperidol in ICU patients with delirium. Go read👇
💉 Haloperidol & #delirium? Despite new data, uncertainty remains. Is best-studied antipsychotic in #ICU: safe, easy to administer/titrate + better supported by evidence vs others, but do NOT forget to implement nonpharmacologic interventions!

@arthur_alb1 @AndersPerner Thanks Arthur. The method described by Jacobsen et al. lie between full bonferoni correction which we find to conservative as outcomes like SAEs and mortality are typically interdependent and no correction which is too loose.
Our updated systematic review assessing the effects of haloperidol on mortality and serious adverse events in critically ill patients with delirium is now available online. Data from #AIDICU#EuRIDICE trials are included with existing treatment trials👇

Haloperidol to treat delirium in the ICU: a meta-analysis
Mortality: 5 RCTs with 1553 pts
Haloperidol🆚placebo
RR 0.89; 96.7% CI 0.77 to 1.03
No significant between-group differences in
- serious adverse events/reactions
- days free from delirium

Days alive without life support and similar composite outcomes are popular in critical care RCTs.
Here is an updated take on these outcomes led by @andersgranholm!

💦 Restricting IV fluids in adults with septic shock in #ICU: analysis of CLASSIC trial. Restriction resulted in similar survival, HRQoL, cognitive function at 1 year vs standard therapy but clinically important differences could not be ruled out
