The authors were looking for time to death following withdrawal of life support so they could develop an intervention to prepare families who wish to be present during withdrawal of life support. They misinterpreted Campbell and colleagues’ statement, “The average length of time required to complete the terminal wean was 14.9+/−1.24 minutes” to mean that was the time it took from beginning of withdrawal until the patient died.

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a significant transformation of scientific journals. Our aim was to determine how critical care (CC) journals and their impact may have evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that the impact, as measured by citations and publications, from the field of CC would increase. Observational study of journal publications, citations, and retractions status. All work was done electronically and retrospectively. The top 18 CC journals broadly concerning CC, and the top 5 most productive CC journals on the SCImago list. None. For the top 18 CC journals and specifically Critical Care Medicine (CCM), time series analysis was used to estimate the trends of total citations, citations per publication, and publications per year by using the best-fit curve. We used PubMed and Retraction Watch to determine the number of COVID-19 publications and retractions. The average total citations and citations per publication for all journals was an upward quadratic trend with inflection points in 2020, whereas publications per year spiked in 2020 before returning to prepandemic values in 2021. For CCM total publications trend downward while total citations and citations per publication generally trend up from 2017 onward. CCM had the lowest percentage of COVID-related publications (15.7%) during the pandemic and no reported retractions. Two COVID-19 retractions were noted in our top five journals. Citation activity across top CC journals underwent a dramatic increase during the COVID-19 pandemic without significant retraction data. These trends suggest that the impact of CC has grown significantly since the onset of COVID-19 while maintaining adherence to a high-quality peer-review process.

Key Highlights of the Canadian Thoracic Society’s Position Statement on the Optimization of COPD Management During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic

Using a MEDLINE-based analysis, we studied the national origin of articles published in important anesthesia, pain, critical care, and emergency medicine journals. All journals in English listed in the Science Citation Index (SCI) of Journal Citation Reports under the subheadings Anesthesiology (n = 17) and Emergency Medicine & Critical Care (n = 13) were analyzed with the help of MEDLINE. Issues from 1996 and 1997 were included and summarized. Letters, abstracts, editorials, meeting reports, and news were not included. MEDLINE printouts were studied, and we classified the country of origin of the first author. The following subsets were defined: Anesthesia, Regional Anesthesia and Pain, Clinical Monitoring and Computing, Intensive Care Medicine and Resuscitation, and Emergency Medicine and Trauma. A total of 10,643 publications in 30 journals were published during 1996 and 1997. Of the 30 journals, 17 originate in the United States (US) and 8 from United Kingdom (UK). In 14 of the 17 US journals, >50% of the publications came from the US. The US was the most active nation, with a total of 4,283 articles (40.2% of all contributions), followed by the UK with 1,418 articles (13.3%). When looking at the number of publications with regard to inhabitants or impact factor per million inhabitants, small highly industrialized nations (Finland 35.41 and Sweden 33.9 articles/million inhabitants) were significantly more active than large highly industrialized countries (US 16.2, Germany 6.1, Japan 4.5 articles/million inhabitants). It is presumed that indicators of productivity in medical research are the number of articles published and the cumulative impact factor. During 1996 and 1997, the US was the most active nation with regard to publications in important journals in the areas of anesthesia, pain, critical care, and emergency medicine. Small highly industrialized nations, however, had a higher activity rate than larger countries. In a MEDLINE-based analysis, we examined the number of publications in important anesthesia, pain, critical care, and emergency medicine journals (n = 30) for the years 1996 and 1997 and analyzed these with regard to national origin. The United States was by far the most active nation in this medical area (4283 articles [40.2%]), followed by the United Kingdom (13.3%). With regard to publications per million inhabitants, small highly industrialized nations contributed overproportionally to publications in this area.

Critical care workforce in crisis: A path forward

Outcomes researchers share a strong interest in determining what is being achieved in practice. In the quest to reveal what is actually being done in medicine, we are often in a position to use existing data about clinical practice and patient experience to answer relevant questions, rather than having to generate data de novo. Patient registries, with their size, scope, and focus on patients who represent those seen in clinical practice, have become an increasingly common source of data for outcomes researchers. There is much to like about patient registries. These organized collections of data about clinical practice are a vehicle by which we can assemble massive amounts of information about patients and use it to assess quality of care, identify patterns of care, facilitate real-world research, and improve performance. In cardiovascular medicine, registries capture information about patients with acute coronary syndromes and heart failure as well as those who undergo procedures related to cardiac catheterization, percutaneous coronary intervention, carotid stents, and internal cardioverter defibrillators. Federal agencies are turning to registries to provide information about quality and produce insights about how to best practice medicine through an emphasis on comparative effectiveness research. Outcomes research articles based on registry data are numerous, including those from NRMI, CRUSADE, GWTG-HF, …
