Abstract:
Objective To clarify the demographic characteristics,disease spectrum,and related mortali-ty risks of intensive care unit(ICU)patients,in order to better manage ICU patients.Methods A total of 35 294 ICU patients admitted to West China Hospital from July 1,2010 to July 31,2020 were selected as the research subjects,and their demographic characteristics,disease spectrum,and mortality risk were analyzed.Results The median age of the patients was 55.5(42.5,67.5)years old,of which 62.5%were male.The top five disease groups are tumors(C00-D48,13 524 cases,accounting for 38.3%),digestive system diseases(K00-K93,6 469 cases,accounting for 18.3%),injuries,poisoning,and consequences caused by certain exter-nal reasons(S00-T98,3 810 cases,accounting for 10.8%),circulatory system diseases(I00-I99,3 745 cases,accounting for 10.6%),and respiratory system diseases(J00-J99,3 443 cases,accounting for 9.8%).These five types of diseases account for a total of 87.8%of ICU admissions.The mortality rate of patients was 7.5%(2 663/35 294),and the risk of death for male patients was about 21.0%higher than that for female patients.Patients with respiratory diseases had a higher risk of death than those with other diseases.Conclusion The increasing number of cancer patients and high mortality rate in ICU pose challenges to personalized manage-ment of critically ill cancer patients.
