Does the presence of hypothermia within 24 hours of sepsis diagnosis predict persistent lymphopenia?
Hypothermia is associated with higher mortality and an increased risk of persistent lymphopenia in patients with sepsis, and it may be an early clinical predictor of sepsis-induced immunosuppression.
Results of this study show that the clinical efficacy of rabeprazole is maintained in overweight/obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and suggest that this subgroup of patients may derive, from rabeprazole, even greater benefit than lean patients.
