Severity of Illness and Mortality According to Time of Admission to Intensive Care
This analysis, from the national ICU database in Finland, shows that cases with morning admission to the ICU appear to have more severe illness compared to those admitted at other times of day. The authors consider if there might be some nighttime delay for recognition of ICU need which could contribute to this observation.
