Twelve-month mortality outcomes are poorer for people admitted to ICUs in Australia than for the general population. Further, after adjusting for age and other factors, survival outcomes are poorer for Indigenous than non-Indigenous people admitted to ICUs. Critical illness may therefore contribute to shorter life expectancy among Indigenous Australians.
