In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Question: Context: To determine whether follicle curetting at the time of oocyte retrieval increases oocyte yield.', 'Retrospective review of all patients who underwent oocyte retrieval from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2005.', 'Number of oocytes retrieved.', 'retrieval time, number of cryopreserved embryos, pregnancy rates, and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.', 'There were no differences in patient demographics, antral follicle count, cycle stimulation characteristics, fertilization rates, embryo quantity or quality, embryo cryopreservation rates, clinical pregnancy rates, live birth rates, or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome between the groups. Retrievals that utilized curetting took three minutes longer. Follicle curetting significantly increased the number of oocytes retrieved, 13.9 +/- 0.6 compared to 11.4 +/- 0.6 oocytes without curetting (P = 0.003). The quantity of mature oocytes was also increased with curetting (10.3 +/- 0.5 versus 8.4 +/- 0.5, P = 0.006).\Question: Does follicle curetting at the time of oocyte retrieval increase the oocyte yield?

Answer: This study demonstrated that follicle curetting significantly increased oocyte yield. While it did not increase live birth rates, this increase in oocyte yield should lead to increased numbers of embryos for selection at transfer and increased embryos for cryopreservation.


Question: Context: Little is known regarding the incidence rate of and factors associated with developing chronic kidney disease after continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. We investigated renal outcomes and the factors associated with incomplete renal recovery in AKI patients who received CRRT.', 'Between January 2011 and November 2013, 408 patients received CRRT in our intensive care unit. Of them, patients who had normal renal function before AKI and were discharged without maintenance renal replacement therapy (RRT) were included in this study. We examined the incidence of incomplete renal recovery with an estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and factors that increased the risk of incomplete renal recovery after AKI.', 'In total, 56 AKI patients were discharged without further RRT and were followed for a mean of 8 months. Incomplete recovery of renal function was observed in 20 of the patients (35.7%). Multivariate analysis revealed old age and long duration of anuria as independent risk factors for incomplete renal recovery (odds ratio [OR], 1.231; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.041 to 1.457; p = 0.015 and OR, 1.064; 95% CI, 1.001 to 1.131; p = 0.047, respectively). In a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, a cut-off anuria duration of 24 hours could predict incomplete renal recovery after AKI with a sensitivity of 85.0% and a specificity of 66.7%.\Question: Does duration of anuria predict recovery of renal function after acute kidney injury requiring continuous renal replacement therapy?

Answer: The renal outcome of severe AKI requiring CRRT was poor even in patients without further RRT. Long-term monitoring of renal function is needed, especially in severe AKI patients who are old and have a long duration of anuria.


Question: Context: Delirium has recently been shown as a predictor of death, increased cost, and longer duration of stay in ventilated patients. Sedative and analgesic medications relieve anxiety and pain but may contribute to patients' transitioning into delirium.", 'In this cohort study, the authors designed a priori an investigation to determine whether sedative and analgesic medications independently increased the probability of daily transition to delirium. Markov regression modeling (adjusting for 11 covariates) was used in the evaluation of 198 mechanically ventilated patients to determine the probability of daily transition to delirium as a function of sedative and analgesic dose administration during the previous 24 h.', 'Lorazepam was an independent risk factor for daily transition to delirium (odds ratio, 1.2 [95% confidence interval, 1.1-1.4]; P = 0.003), whereas fentanyl, morphine, and propofol were associated with higher but not statistically significant odds ratios. Increasing age and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores were also independent predictors of transitioning to delirium (multivariable P values < 0.05).\Question: Is lorazepam an independent risk factor for transitioning to delirium in intensive care unit patients?

Answer:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Lorazepam administration is an important and potentially modifiable risk factor for transitioning into delirium even after adjusting for relevant covariates.
