“…It has been found in various studies that death rates are positively related to duration of ICU stay. [24,25,31] This may usually reflect suboptimal critical care. But in reality, major factor playing role here is delay in admission to ICU.…”

“…Despite the multiple complex interventions performed to critically ill patients [8], the mortality rate among critically ill patients in ICU are varied [9]; and the highest compared with other hospital sections [10]. The average mortality rate in ICU patients ranged from 8% -19% in the United States [9], and (19.1%) in European countries [10].…”

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) provides advanced specialized medical and nursing care for critically ill patients. Advanced monitoring techniques are needed to prevent physiologic deterioration, while the underlying disease treated and resolved. Frequents invasive procedure and treatment are used and affect the death rate and length of hospitalization. This study aimed to describe the variables associated with critically ill patients and describe the standard invasive procedures or treatments used among patients in ICU. Method: A retrospective comparative study which utilized the ICU electronic database. The data of 446 dead patients who have admitted to ICU between January 2014 and December 2016 as a case of sepsis, heart failure or COPD exacerbation were enrolled. Result: Almost of all patients had received intravenous fluid and vasoactive drugs. The mechanical ventilation support and insertion of the indwelling urethral catheter commonly used among patients with critical illnesses; 78.3%, 41.3% respectively. One-third of all sepsis and heart failure patients were received CVC during ICU stay; patients with sepsis illness had less hospital length of stay than patients with heart failure and COPD (p < 0.05). Also, patients with sepsis illness had less hospital LOS than patients with heart failure and COPD (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between ICU length of stay based on patients critical illness. Conclusion: We found a reduction in the death number among sepsis, heart failure and COPD patients with move forwards in years, the variety of death rate depends on the type of invasive procedure and treatment performed for each illness, mechanical ventilation support and insertion of indwelling urethral catheter commonly used among patients with critical illnesses.

“…In the United States, the average intensive care unit mortality rate ranges from 8% to 19%, an estimated 500,000 deaths per year. In France, the average mortality rate in intensive care units is estimated at 15% with hospital mortality ranging from 20% to 30% according to studies [5] [6]. In Africa, resuscitation mortality has been the subject of several studies [2] [4] [7] [8] [9] [10].…”

Aim: To describe the epidemiological aspects of the patients who died in polyvalent intensive care unit at University Hospital of Brazzaville. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study carried out in intensive care unit of University Hospital of Brazzaville, during period from January 2013 to December 2014. All patients who died at the unit regardless of age or sex were included. The parameters studied were age, sex, origin, reason for admission, causes of death, time of death, and length of hospitalization. Data were treated in Excel 2010 and Epi info 2007. Results: During the study period, 419 deaths out of 1121 admissions were recorded, representing a mortality rate of 37.4%. The average age was 46.2 ± 19.7 years with extremes ranging from 14 months to 90 years. The sex ratio was 0.9. Most of the deceased patients came from medical emergencies in 37.6% of the cases. Infectious (17.9%) and neurological (17.4%) pathologies were the most likely to cause death followed by cardiovascular pathologies (12.2%). Causes of death were dominated by severe sepsis and septic shock with 93.4% of infectious pathologies and stroke in 80.8% of neurological pathologies. In 42.3% of cases, the death occurred in the 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. time period. The average length of hospitalization for the deceased patients was 1.4 ± 0.5 days. All parameters studied significantly associated with mortality (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The mortality rate of patients admitted to the polyvalent intensive care unit at University Hospital of Brazzaville was high at 37.4%. Most of these patients were aged 40 years and older, male, with infectious and/or neurological pathologies. All deaths occurred within 48 hours of admission.
