 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 ICU mortality in patients with risk factors for a prospective clinical study [Abstract] Objective To study the impact of ICU mortality in patients with major risk factors in order to develop effective measures. Methods ICU stay of more than 48h of hospital inpatients and admission of hospitalized patients die within ICU 48h, a period of two years of forward-looking monitoring. Exclusion of age amp;quot;16-year-old hospitalized patients. Results A total of 276 cases of monitoring the cases, case fatality rate of 44.9%. 99 cases (35.9%) of hospital infection. The average age of independent risk factors (HR 1.08,95% CI 0.98 ~ 1.15), APACHE II score (HR 2.01,95% CI 1.62 ~ 2.87), mechanical ventilation (HR 1.87,95% CI 1.38 ~ 2.92), nosocomial infection ( HR 0.41,95% CI 0.31 ~ 0.68), nasal feeding (HR 0.51,95% CI 0.32 ~ 0.69), ICU hospitalization days (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.24 ~ 0.60), immunosuppressive agents (HR 1.58,95% CI 1.18 ~ 2.09), tracheostomy (HR 0.31,95% CI 0.01 ~ 0.69). Conclusions independent risk factor for ICU mortality in patients with an average age, APACHE II score, mechanical ventilation, hospital infection, nasal feeding, immunosuppressive agents, tracheotomy. [Keywords:] Hospital infection; risk factors; Prospective Study Risk factors for mortality in intensive care units: a prospective study [Abstract] Objective To investigate risk factors for mortality in intensive care units.Methods The prospective study was performed from January 2005 to November 2006 in ICU. 276 patients who were followed in the ICU for at least 48 hours were enrolled in this study. Those patients who died within 48 hours of ICU discharge were included in the mortality analysis.Results The overall mortality rate in the ICU was 44.9%. Among the 276 patients, 99 (35.9%) had nosocomial infections.The mean age, sex, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score, trauma and intraabdominal pathology, nosocomial infection, stay in I
