Overview

Retrospective analysis reveals delayed ICU admissions correlate with increased length of stay and 90-day mortality.

Key Points

  • Delayed ICU admissions lead to longer lengths of stay and higher 90-day mortality rates among patients.
  • Approximately 72.8% of patients experienced delayed ICU admissions, highlighting a significant issue in overcrowded hospitals.
  • Multivariate analysis found no independent association between admission delays and mortality, but univariate analysis showed significant correlations.
  • Higher APACHE-II and Charlson scores were linked to longer delays in ICU transfer, affecting overall patient outcomes.
