Critical Illness Outcomes Study

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Critical Illness, Intensive Care, Intensive Care Unit

In brief

We will test whether the way that an intensive care unit is organized can influence patient related outcomes such as mortality. We will test whether who works in the ICU, and how the ICU is managed will affect the care received by patients. The primary study hypothesis is whether the number of clinical protocols present in an intensive care unit is linked to patient mortality
