Costs were calculated from ICU length of stay and unit costs for ICU admission from a Canadian academic hospital. A generalized linear model was employed to identify cost-predictive variables. In total, 1671 patients were included; 610 were enrolled in the longitudinal cohort. The average age was...
A descriptive design was used, based on patient level data, to examine and compare unit costs per day for each of the ICU and non-ICU portions of a patient's hospital stay. Records from 386 patients who were treated in a general medical/surgical ICU were analyzed. Records for patients ...
Intensive care unit-acquired (ICU-acquired) bloodstream infections (BSI) are an important complication of critical illness. The objective of this study was to quantify the excess length of stay, mortality and cost attributable to ICU-acquired BSI. A matched cohort study was conducted in all adult...
5,6 Because approximately 20% of deaths in the United States occur during or shortly after a stay in the ICU, critical care is scrutinized for the provision of potentially futile resource-intensive treatment.2,7-9 However, information is lacking on the prospective identification of patients who ...
Average duration of hospital stay and of ICU stay was estimated by examining hospital notes and computer records for all emergency AAA repairs performed in the hospital between 1986 and 2000. Cost calculation for elective AAA repair was based on data from actual repair procedures during the study ...
摘要: Nursing unit volume-outcome relationships exist for patients assigned selected DRGs. This finding suggests that, in some cases, aggregating inpatients with similar clinical conditions may result in lower cost of care, shorter length of stay, and fewer hospital deaths....
Sedation of ICU patients is often essential for ICU patients to maximize survival, reduce ICU and hospital stay, and facilitate mechanical ventilation. The standard of care for sedation includes benzodiazepine sedatives and propofol. The... Ottawa - Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Healt...
Dr. Donald Redelmeier, a professor at the University of Toronto’s faculty of medicine, said costs spiral quickly for any patient receiving intensive care. “The one major distinction about COVID patients in the ICU is they stay a long time. They take a long time to recover, if t...
In our institution we observed that of all AKI patients undergoing RRT, 87% experienced an episode of infection during their intensive care unit (ICU) course. Of these, 41% developed infection during, and 59% developed infection before or after RRT.10 In another study of our group, we ...
