✅   Evaluation of the physiological variables and scoring systems at intensive care discharge as predictors of clinical deterioration and readmission: a single-centre retrospective study

Health

Objectives We aim to determine, using routinely collected data and common scoring systems, whether parameters seen at intensive care unit (ICU) discharge can be predictive of subsequent clinical deterioration. Design/setting A single-centre retrospective study located in a tertiary hospital in the south of England. Participants 1868 patients who were admitted and discharged from ICU between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024 were screened for eligibility. A total of 1393 patients were included in the final analysis, including 122 patients who were classified in the ‘deteriorated’ subgroup.
