A major UK study shows that commonly used home pulse oximeters can overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin, increasing the risk of undetected hypoxemia and raising urgent questions about ...
In the EXAKT study from the U.K., the home-use pulse oximeters assessed all gave higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings for patients with darker skin tones than for patients with lighter skin tones.
A total of 11,018 paired SpO2-SaO2 measurements were analysed. All five pulse oximeters returned higher SpO2 values for patients with darker skin tones than patients with lighter skin tones, at any ...
The SOFA-2 score included new definitions, new variables, and revised thresholds to categorize the severity of organ dysfunction in critical illness. The updates reflected changes in practice, ...
Abstract: COVID-19 prognosis using clinical tabular data faces significant challenges due to missing values and class imbalance issues. Existing methods often overlook the complex high-order ...
Background: Erythropoietin (EPO) plays a crucial role in the early adaption to high altitude and is possibly involved in neuroprotection. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is an established marker of ...
Serious hidden hypoxemia — defined as an SaO2 less than 88% despite an SpO2 of 92% or greater — occurred in 0.6% of the critically ill Asian patients studied. Hypoxemia went undetected in 0.8% of ...
