Paraquat Poisonings: Mechanisms of Lung Toxicity, Clinical Features, and Treatment (2008, methodology): “More recently, Huang et al.

Persistent microcirculatory alterations are associated with organ failure and death in patients with septic shock* (2004, methodology): “The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (18) was obtained on admission, and the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score (19) was calculated daily during the shock period.”

(1985)] or the Charleson Index in health services research [Deyo, Cherkin and Ciol (1992)].”

Serum lactate is associated with mortality in severe sepsis independent of organ failure and shock* (2009, methodology): “Nevertheless, we acknowledge the potential for misclassification bias because of missing data and concede that our severity of illness measure (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) was not used as originally described (22).”
