This study reports the all-cause mortality profile over 5 years across medical, surgical, and coronary care ICUs in a large public hospital in Singapore.
Supplies regional ICU mortality benchmarks; leaves open generalizability and need for risk-adjusted comparisons.
Intensive care remains an area of high acuity and high mortality across the globe. With a rapidly aging population, the disease burden requiring intensive care is growing. The cost of critical care also is rising with new technology becoming available rapidly. We present the all-cause mortality results of 5 years database established in a restructured, large public hospital in Singapore, looking at all three types of Intensive Care Units present in our hospital. These include medical, surgical, and coronary care units.
