Multiorgan Failure

This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the oXiris® hemofilter in patients with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). While some studies suggest that oXiris® may improve hemodynamic stability by removing endotoxins and cytokines, its impact on survival remains inconsistent.To provide more reliable causal evidence, this multicenter retrospective cohort study utilizes a Target Trial Emulation (TTE) approach. The study will compare patients treated with the oXiris® filter to those treated with standard CRRT filters, focusing on in-hospital mortality and other clinical outcomes such as fluid balance and vasopressor requirements.

Low-level interventional clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of extracorporeal support with hemoperfusion in critical patients with septic multiorgan dysfunction syndrome.

The research will be retrospective, and will include all patients who were admitted during 2020 and 2021 in the COVID-19 ICU of University Hospital Center Osijek due to pneumonia caused by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The association of chest x-ray infiltrate evolution with changes in laboratory inflammatory parameters and respiratory function parameters will be examined.
