@entity1 @entity204 @entity326
OBJECTIVE: To assess the causes and factors associated with the @entity204 of @entity1 between intensive care unit discharge and hospital discharge. METHODS: The present is a pilot, retrospective, observational cohort study. The records of all @entity1 admitted to two units of a public/private university hospital from February 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013 were assessed. Demographic and clinical data, risk scores and outcomes were obtained from the Epimed monitoring system and confirmed in the electronic record system of the hospital. The relative risk and respective confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 581 @entity1 were evaluated. The mortality rate in the intensive care unit was 20.8% and in the hospital was 24.9%. @entity326 was the cause of @entity204 in 58.3% of @entity1 who died after being discharged from the intensive care unit. Of the @entity1 from the public health system, 73 (77.6%) died in the intensive care unit and 21 (22.4%) died in the hospital after being discharged from the unit. Of the @entity1 from the Supplementary Health System, 48 (94.1%) died in the intensive care unit and 3 (5.9%) died in the hospital after being discharged from the unit (relative risk, 3.87%; 95% confidence interval, 1.21 - 12.36; p < 0.05). The post-discharge mortality rate was significantly higher in @entity1 with intensive care unit hospitalization time longer than 6 days. CONCLUSION: The main cause of @entity204 of @entity1 who were discharged from the intensive care unit and died in the ward before hospital discharge was @entity326 . Coverage by the public healthcare system and longer hospitalization time in the intensive care unit were factors associated with @entity204 after discharge from the intensive care unit.
