Prognostic models for predicting intensive care unit admission or mortality in critically ill adults not yet been admitted to the intensive care unit.

Abstract / Summary

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prognosis). The objectives are as follows: To determine whether prognostic models can be used for predicting the occurrence of ICU admission and mortality within the index hospital admission, and post-discharge survival at reported follow-up time points, up to one year, in critically ill adults not yet admitted to the ICU. The objective in PICOTS format is as follows. critically ill adults not yet admitted to the ICU Index prognostic model: available prognostic models with or without external validation Comparator: not applicable Outcomes: ICU admission, ICU and hospital mortality, and post-discharge survival Timing: for ICU admission or transfer, ICU mortality, and hospital mortality outcomes, the timing will be in hospital. For post-discharge survival, the timing will be up to 28 days, 1 to 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after hospital discharge. acute hospital wards and emergency care departments.
