Trends in ICU mortality and underlying risk over three decades among mechanically ventilated patients. A group level analysis of cohorts from infection prevention studies.
James C HurleyPublished in: Annals of intensive care (2023)
Mortality incidence has changed little over 35 years among ICU infection prevention studies whilst the patient age and underlying disease severity, measured as APACHE II, have both increased. The paradoxically high mortality among concurrent control groups within studies of decontamination methods of infection prevention remains unaccounted for.
