  • SOFA so good for predicting long-term outcomes 

    Jean-Louis Vincent and Yasser Sakr

    Predicting long-term outcomes is important at an individual patient level and perhaps even more so for improved definition of patient populations in clinical trials. In this issue of Resuscitation, Huang and colleagues show that the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score reliably predicted long-term outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

  • Neonatal resuscitation: In pursuit of evidence gaps in knowledge 

    Jeffrey Perlman, John Kattwinkel, Jonathan Wyllie, Ruth Guinsburg, Sithembiso Velaphi, Nalini Singhal for the Neonatal ILCOR Task Force Group

    Guidelines for the techniques of resuscitating newly born infants have undergone major revisions over the past 25 years. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) is committed to "periodically developing and publishing a consensus on resuscitation science" every five years with the most recent Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) statement published in 2010.
