Abstract

Objective To provide a contemporary description of the demographics, characteristics and outcomes of critically ill Indigenous patients in Australia. Design, setting and participants Retrospective database review using the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Adult Patient Database for intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in 2017-18. Characteristics of critically ill Indigenous patients were compared with non-Indigenous patients. Main outcome measures Primary outcome was hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes examined demographics and resource use. Results Per capita, Indigenous Australians were overrepresented in the intensive care. They were younger (51 v 66 years), more likely to be admitted from outer regional, rural and remote settings (59% v 15%), more likely to require emergency admission (81% v 59%), and had higher rates of mechanical ventilation (35% v 32%; P v 9%), trauma (7% v 5%), and respiratory illness (17% v 15%), and had higher rates of ICU re-admission (7% v 5%; P P = 0.96) or adjusted (odds ratio, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.0-1.2) in-hospital mortality. Conclusion Indigenous patients, especially young Indigenous patients, were disproportionately represented in Australian ICUs, particularly for sepsis. The high level of acute illness and high proportion of emergency admissions could be interpreted as representing delayed presentation, which, with a higher re-admission rate, suggest access barriers to health care may exist. Nevertheless, there was no mortalit…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
