Background |
Knowledge of the occurrence and outcome of admissions to Intensive Care Units (ICU) over time is important to inform healthcare services planning. This observational study aims at describing the activity of French ICUs between 2013 and 2019.
Methods |
Patient admission characteristics, organ dysfunction scores, therapies, ICU and hospital lengths of stay and case fatality were collected from the French National Hospital Database (population-based cohort). Logistic regression models were developed to investigate the association between age, sex, SAPS II, organ failure, and year of care on in-ICU case fatality.
Findings |
Among 1,594,801 ICU admissions, the yearly ICU admission increased from 3.3 to 3.5 per year per 1000 inhabitants (bed occupancy rate between 83.4 and 84.3%). The mean admission SAPS II was 42 ± 22, with a gradual annual increase. The median lengths of stay in ICU and in hospital were 3 (interquartile range (IQR) = [1–7]) and 11 days (IQR = [6–21]), respectively, with a progressive decrease over time. The in-ICU and hospital mortality case fatalities decreased from 18.0% to 17.1% and from 21.1% to 19.9% between 2013 and 2019, respectively. Male sex, age, SAPS II score, and the occurrence of any organ failure were associated with a higher case fatality rate. After adjustment on age, sex, SAPS II and organ failure, in-ICU case fatality decreased in 2019 as compared to 2013 (adjusted Odds Ratio = 0.87 [95% confidence interval, 0.85–0.89]).
Interpretation |
During the study, an increasing incidence of ICU admission was associated with higher severity of illness but lower in-ICU case fatality.
