Relationship between the timing of administration of IgM and IgA enriched immunoglobulins in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock and the outcome: A retrospective analysis by Berlot, G, Vassallo, MC, Busetto, N, Bianchi, M, Zornada, F, Rosato, I, Tartamella, F, Prisco, L, Bigotto, F, Bigolin, T, Ferluga, M, Batticci, I, Michelone, E, Borelli, M, Viviani, M, Tomasini, A

“…The delay in the administration of eIg and the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II were the only variables that entered stepwise a propensity score-adjusted logistic model. The delay in the administration of eIg was a significant predictor of the odds of dying during the ICU stay (odds ratio for 1 hour of delay, 1.007; P < .01; 99% confidence interval from 1.001 to 1.010) and proved to be independent from the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II and other variables.…”
