Complication rate remained almost same in both the groups. There was a significant reduction in overall mortality (P = < 0.0155) and in deaths associated with APE (P = < 0.0001) after the protocol guided therapy. There was also a reduction in mortality in encephalopathy group though not statistically significant. This treatment protocol and aggressive management of APE reduced the mortality due to SS significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
