and predictors of intensive care unit (ICU) readmission in Australia. Methods A retrospective …

Background: Readmission to intensive care during the same hospital stay has been
associated with a greater risk of in-hospital mortality and has been suggested as a marker of …

Objectives: To determine factors independently associated with readmission to ICU and the
independent association of readmission with subsequent mortality. Design: Prospective …

Rationale: Readmission to the intensive care unit (ICU) is associated with poor clinical
outcomes, increased length of ICU and hospital stay, and higher costs. Nevertheless …

Acutely ill patients are commonly found on general hospital wards; some of these are
patients who have been recently discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU). These …

Background. Although patients readmitted to intensive care units (ICUs) typically have poor
outcomes, ICU readmission rates have not been studied as a measure of hospital …

Background Intensive care unit (ICU) re-admission identifies a high-risk group in terms of
hospital mortality, length of stay, and resource utilization. Only hospital and ICU mortality are …

Objectives To determine whether ICU readmission is associated with higher severity of
illness scores in adult patients. Background Readmissions to the intensive care unit (ICU) …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of comorbidities on risk of
readmission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and the excess hospital mortality associated with …

Objective To evaluate risk factors in critically ill patients who were readmitted to an intensive
