Etiometry Honored at Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Conference
News and Press Releases
BOSTON, December 23, 2014 — Etiometry received a “Top Abstract” award at the 2014 Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society (PCICS) Conference. Our abstract reported the first retrospective study of the Risk Analytics technology, and was selected out of more than 200 abstracts submitted to the conference. We would like to thank our co-authors, Dr. Melvin Almodovar from Boston Children’s Hospital, and Dr. Peter Laussen from Toronto Sick Kids Hospital.
The abstract, titled “Risk Analytics and Outcome Prediction in Neonates Following Cardiac Surgery” assessed the ability of the Risk Analytics to predict a composite poor outcome and biomarkers for inadequate oxygen delivery. The study was conducted on 274 neonates who had undergone cardiac surgery within the first 30 days of life – a population which costs the U.S. healthcare system approximately $1.4B a year, and represent some of the most difficult patients to manage in the ICU.About Etiometry

Why Conventional EHR Systems Are Insufficient for Shock Detection
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a critical and life-threatening condition, characterized by a rapid decline in cardiac function and multi-organ dysfunction, often leading to high mortality rates. Despite advancements in critical care, its intricate and rapidly evolving nature presents a formidable clinical challenge. Early identification and prompt intervention are paramount for improved patient outcomes. However, the […]
Three Practical Steps to Improve Institutional Readiness for Cardiogenic Shock
Cardiogenic shock (CS) represents a profound and often fatal complication in hospitalized patients, with short-term mortality rates persisting at a concerning 40% to 50%. Despite significant advancements in cardiovascular critical care and interventional cardiology, its intricate and rapidly evolving nature continues to present a formidable clinical challenge. Crucially, the initial manifestations of CS are frequently […]
Why Cardiogenic Shock Is a Hospital-Wide Concern, Not Just a Cardiology Issue
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a critical issue in hospitals nationwide, primarily due to delayed identification, which leads to poor patient outcomes. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, CS still results in an unacceptably high death rate, with short-term mortality rates at around 40–50%. The condition increases the mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) […]
