Chronic ketamine use has been found to cause biliary duct damage and bladder dysfunction. Ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis are uncommon diagnoses presenting with nonspecific symptoms, creating diagnostic challenges for emergency physicians. We report a case of a teenage patient with the rare simultaneous presentation of ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis. Due to increased recreational and chronic ketamine use, cases of ketamine-induced cholangiopathy and ulcerative cystitis are likely to rise with the increased knowledge, awareness, and reporting of these entities by radiologists and emergency physicians. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of frailty and its risk factors among critical care survivors who were discharged after receiving treatment in an intensive care unit. This was a secondary analysis using data from a methodological study conducted between June and August 2018. The sample included 494 adults who had been admitted to the intensive care unit for more than 48hours within a year. Only post-intensive care frailty was evaluated using the Kihon Checklist. The sociodemographic and intensive care-related risk factors for frailty were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. The prevalence of frailty in the sample was 65.8%. The risk factors for frailty were female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=1.68, 95% CI 1.02-2.78), aged 70years or older (aOR=4.16, 95% CI 2.00-8.65), unemployment (aOR=2.41, 95% CI 1.39-4.17) and longer ICU days (aOR=2.29, 95% CI 1.35-3.91). Analysis of differences in risk factors according to sex revealed that risk factors for frailty were unemployment and longer ICU length of stay for male and older age for female.
