The ICU mortality rate of patients with SRD was high. Infection and disease exacerbation are the leading reasons for ICU admission in systemic rheumatic diseases. Intensivists must keep in mind that SRD exacerbation may require immunosuppressive agents along with lifesaving interventions, more particularly in newly diagnosed SRDs. Key Points • The ICU mortality rate of patients with SRD was high. • Infection and disease exacerbation are the leading reasons for ICU admission in systemic rheumatic diseases. • 63.8% of our patients fall into this category of new cases of rheumatologic disease and disease flare-up.
