Development and feasibility of a smartphone-based test for the objective detection and monitoring of attention impairments in delirium in the ICU.
Delirium in the ICU is under-diagnosed. We evaluated feasibility and performance of a novel smartphone-based test for objectively detecting inattention in delirium. ⋯ DelApp-ICU shows promise for assessing inattention and delirium in ICU patients, including longitudinally monitoring deficits and providing a metric of delirium severity.

Robotic technology provides objective and quantifiable metrics of neurocognitive functioning in survivors of critical illness:A feasibility study.
To assess the feasibility of using an integrated multimodal data collection strategy to characterize the post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). ⋯ We demonstrated that it was feasible to quantify neurological dysfunction among participants that returned for follow-up testing. However, future investigations will need to implement multiple retention strategies.

Comparative StudyHighly visible sepsis publications from 2012 to 2017: Analysis and comparison of altmetrics and bibliometrics.
We sought to delineate highly visible publications related to sepsis. Within these subsets, elements of altmetrics performance, including mentions on Twitter, and the correlation between altmetrics and conventional citation counts were ascertained. ⋯ While unreliable to gauge impact or future citation potential, altmetrics may be valuable for parties who wish to detect and drive public awareness of research findings and may enable researchers to dynamically explore the reach of their work in novel dimensions.

Using survival analysis to predict septic shock onset in ICU patients.
To determine the efficacy of survival analysis for predicting septic shock onset in ICU patients. ⋯ This methodology has the potential to be implemented in the ICU for real time prediction and can be used as a building block to expand the approach to other hospital wards or care environments.
