Overview
Observing the Real-World Application Effectiveness of Cytokine Immune Adsorption Technology in AIDS Patients with Severe Pneumonia or septic shock.
Description
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, clinical observational cohort study primarily focused on observing the clinical effects of cytokine adsorption technology in patients with AIDS complicated by severe pneumonia and/or septic shock. Based on the real-world application of cytokine adsorption technology in AIDS patients with severe pneumonia or septic shock, the study divides patients into two groups: one receiving cytokine adsorption combined with standard treatment, and another receiving standard treatment only. The study aims to observe the impact of these two different treatment strategies on clinical outcomes.
