Nomogram model for predicting secondary infection in critically ill patients with heatstroke: A pilot study from China
Increased lymphocyte count is an independent protective factor against infections in patients with severe heatstroke. Vasopressor use, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and elevated serum creatinine levels are independent risk factors. These indicators can aid clinicians in assessing infection risk in patients with severe heatstroke.
