Comparison of the clinical features in open and closed format intensive care units: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021, Anaesthesia Critical Care and Pain MedicineCitation Excerpt :The PRISMA flowchart showing the selections of study selections, along with the reasons for inclusion/exclusion, is presented in Fig. 1. Cumulative of RR and SMD for total mortality was reported in 40 studies (with 217,126 participants) and 13 studies (with 11,990 participants), respectively [3,5,6,9,24–47]. The total mortality rate was similar in open and closed ICUs with respect to RR (0.91, 95% CI: 0.77–1.08, p = 0.28) and SMD (−1.07, 95% CI: −2.49 to 0.35, p = 0.14) (Fig. 2A and 2B).
The Role of Telemedicine in Pediatric Critical Care
2015, Critical Care ClinicsCitation Excerpt :The second factor shown to improve outcomes and quality of care in the ICU is to ensure that all patients are actively cared for by critical care physicians. In both adult and pediatric critical care medicine research, it has been shown that critically ill patients have a lower risk of death and shorter ICU and hospital lengths of stay, and receive higher care quality when critical care physicians are involved in their management.8–11 Researchers estimate that ICU mortality is reduced by 10% to 25% when critical care physicians direct patient care compared with ICUs where critical care physicians have little to no involvement in patient care.8,9,12
