Causes of admissions and in-hospital mortality among patients admitted to critical care units in primary and secondary hospitals in Vietnam in 2018: a multicentre retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The goal of this study was to describe the burden of disease and in-hospital mortality among patients admitted to the critical care units (CCUs) in Vietnam.

Design

Retrospective study.

Setting

The whole 1-year data of admissions to CCUs were collected from 34 hospitals from January to December 2018.

Participants

A total of 44 013 episodes of admission to CCUs were analysed.

Primary outcome

We used International Classification of Diseases-11 codes to assess the primary diagnosis associated with admissions and in-hospitals mortality. Years of life lost (YLL) measure was further used to estimate the burden of disease.

Results

The 0-5 years and ≥70 years age groups accounted for 14.8% (6508/44 013) and 26.1% (11 480/44 013) of all admissions
