TLDR
Intensive care unit costs are highest during the first 2 days of admission, stabilizing at a lower level thereafter, and the mean incremental cost of mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit patients was $1,522 per day (p < .001).Abstract:
Objective:To quantify the mean daily cost of intensive care, identify key factors associated with increased cost, and determine the incremental cost of mechanical ventilation during a day in the intensive care unit.Design:Retrospective cohort analysis using data from NDCHealth’s Hospital Patient Levread more

TL;DR: These guidelines are intended to provide an overview of current knowledge on the subject with an assessment of the quality of the evidence in order to allow anaesthetists throughout Europe to integrate this knowledge into daily patient care wherever possible.

Health Care Costs in the Last Week of Life Associations With End-of-Life Conversations
Baohui Zhang,Alexi A. Wright,Haiden A. Huskamp,Matthew Nilsson,Matthew L. Maciejewski,Craig C. Earle,Susan D. Block,Paul K. Maciejewski,Holly G. Prigerson +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with advanced cancer who reported having EOL conversations with physicians had significantly lower health care costs in their final week of life, and higher costs were associated with worse quality of death.

Critical care medicine in the United States 2000-2005: an analysis of bed numbers, occupancy rates, payer mix, and costs.
TL;DR: The evolving role, patterns of use, and costs of critical care medicine in the United States from 2000 to 2005 are analyzed to provide a contemporary benchmark for the strategic planning ofcritical care medicine services within the U.S. hospital system.

The epidemiology of mechanical ventilation use in the United States.
Hannah Wunsch,Walter T. Linde-Zwirble,Derek C. Angus,Mary E. Hartman,Eric B Milbrandt,Jeremy M. Kahn +5 more
TL;DR: Mechanical ventilation use is common and accounts for a disproportionate amount of resource use, particularly in urban hospitals and in elderly patients, which means quality improvement and cost-reduction strategies targeted at these patients are warranted.

Costs and outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery
TL;DR: Cost, LOS and mortality are higher in postoperative cardiac surgery patients who develop AKI using RIFLE criteria, and these values increase as AKI severity worsens.

TL;DR: The overall predictive accuracy of the first-day APACHE III equation was such that, within 24 h ofICU admission, 95 percent of ICU admissions could be given a risk estimate for hospital death that was within 3 percent of that actually observed.

TL;DR: ICU-acquired infection is common and often associated with microbiological isolates of resistant organisms, and the potential effects on outcome emphasize the importance of specific measures for infection control in critically ill patients.

Smearing Estimate: A Nonparametric Retransformation Method
TL;DR: The smearing estimate as discussed by the authors is a nonparametric estimate of the expected response on the untransformed scale after fitting a linear regression model on a transformed scale, which is consistent under mild regularity conditions, and usually attains high efficiency relative to parametric estimates.

TL;DR: Survival among mechanically ventilated patients depends not only on the factors present at the start of mechanical ventilation, but also on the development of complications and patient management in the intensive care unit.

TL;DR: Patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia had significantly longer ICU and hospital LOS, with higher crude hospital cost and mortality rate compared with uninfected patients, and hospital costs were higher than average.
