Abstract:Background: Healthcare quality impacts patient prognosis in the intensive care unit (ICU). The healthcare quality can be indicated by the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) and is influenced by the volume of admitted patients. However, the correlation between the admission patient volume and SMR in ICUs remains unclear.
Objective: This study examined SMR trends and their influencing factors and assessed the correlation between SMR and the admission patient volume across various ICU types.
Methods: We analyzed … Show more
