https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cx-5461.html Background Only limited data are available on the real-life clinical utilization of aerosolized medications in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Exploring the utilization of aerosolized medications in the ICU may contribute to develop appropriate education and improve the quality of aerosol therapy. Methods A 2-week, prospective, multicenter, observational, cohort study was conducted to record how the aerosolized medications were utilized in the Chinese ICUs, including indications, medications used in solo or combination, dosage, and side-effects in adult patients. Results A total of 1006 patients from 28 ICUs were enrolled, of which 389 (38.7%) received aerosol therapy. The most common indications for aerosol therapy were difficulty in secretion management (23.1%) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation (18.5%). The combination of inhaled corticosteroids and short-acting muscarinic antagonist was the most commonly used medication (19.5%, 76/389). Ninety-two percent (358/389) of the patients did not have any side effects during aerosol therapy. More patients in the group with mechanical ventilation received bronchodilators than spontaneous breathing patients (81.3% vs. 55.5%, p  less then  0.001), and more patients who breathed spontaneously through a tracheostomy received mucus-regulating agents than other patients (70% vs. 37.9%, p = 0.004). Conclusion In mainland China, more than one-third of adult ICU patients received aerosol therapy. Medications utilized during aerosol therapy were variable in patients with different respiratory support. To promote appropriate use of aerosolized medications, high-quality randomized, controlled trials and clinical guidance on aerosolized medication indications and dosing are needed to improve clinical outcomes. The objective was to examine the relationship between contemporary redlining (mortgage lending bias on the basis of property location) and survival among
