Abstract
Background: Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a vital unit in hospitals that treats critical patients with physiological instability or organ failure.Objective The general objective of this study is to determine the analysis of the relationship between patient characteristics and ICU mortality, , with the specific objective of analyzing the number of patients who died, characteristics (gender, age, type of disease, type of germ, route of entry, antibiotic use, tracheostomy time, and SOFA score), Methods: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive analytical design, Inclusion criteria were medical records of patients aged >18 years in the ICU ward, Result: Patient characteristics showed that most patients were admitted to the ICU via referral from other hospitals (132 patients). Fluoroquinolone antibiotics were the most frequently used (118 patients, 10.83%). 140 deceased patients had a SOFA score range of 10-11, with no significant difference (P 0.35). The highest mortality was observed in patients >65 years old (31.43%) and males (57.14%), often associated with respiratory diseases. Most deceased patients had a length of stay of 1-3 days (68.57%) and did not use ventilators (97.14%). Non-surgical patients had the highest mortality, with septic shock, acute myocardial infarct, and chronic heart failure as the primary diagnoses, Conclusion Mortality Cause of ICU patient is a multifactorial cause.
