Only 17.0% and 12.9%, respectively, met diagnostic criteria for IAH. Many recruited patients did not have intraabdominal pressures measured regularly per study protocol. There was no difference in ICU mortality for patients in either cohort or between those with and without IAH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The incidence of IAH in our patient population has decreased significantly since 2015. This is likely due to a significant change in routine care of critically ill patients, especially with respect to judicious goal-directed fluid resuscitation. Patient recruitment and protocol adherence in this study were low, exacerbated by other staffing and logistical pressures during the study period. We conclude that a larger multicentre trial is unlikely to yield evidence of a detectable treatment effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2478\/jccm-2025-0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,26]],"date-time":"2025-02-26T09:04:38Z","timestamp":1740560678000},"page":"95-100","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intraabdominal hypertension is less common than it used to be: A pilot step wedge trial"],"prefix":"10.2478","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Shane","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Academic Military Medicine , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"London Health Sciences Centre Trauma Program , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fran","family":"Priestap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"London Health Sciences Centre Trauma Program , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Parry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Academic Military Medicine , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"Department of Surgery , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"London Health Sciences Centre Trauma Program , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Arntfield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Murphy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin , Milwaukee , WI , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kelly","family":"Vogt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"London Health Sciences Centre Trauma Program , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian","family":"Ball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office of Academic Military Medicine , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"London Health Sciences Centre Trauma Program , London , Ontario , Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine , Western University , London , Ontario , Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026022110592419904_j_jccm-2025-0002_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kirkpatrick AW, Roberts DJ, De Waele J, et al.
