Abstract
A total of 16059 consecutive admissions to the ICUs were enrolled in the study. The number of admissions to the ICU varied from 14 to 1048 (median 130) with an aggregate of 494–3050 at the area level. Some 43% of the total patients were admitted to university hospitals. The nonuniversity hospital patients included 31% enrolled from hospitals with > 500 beds, 14% in hospitals with 300–500 beds and 12% in hospitals with < 300 beds; 84% of the patients were admitted to general ICUs (Table 1).
