TLDR
The early survival advantage in the intensive care unit suggests a window of critical opportunity for critically ill patients, thus exposing more needy patients to the early benefit of treatment in theintensive care unit, may be advantageous.Abstract:
Objective:The demand for intensive care beds far exceeds their availability in many European countries. Consequently, many critically ill patients occupy hospital beds outside intensive care units, throughout the hospital. The outcome of patients who fit intensive care unit admission criteria but arread more

TL;DR: Efforts to define ethically optimal ICU admission policies might lead to greater homogeneity in refusal rates, although case-mix variations would be expected to leave an irreducible amount of variation across ICUs.
