Type: article
Study design: Study Protocol
Abstract: OBJECTIVES: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prognosis). The objectives are as follows: To determine whether prognostic models can be used for predicting the occurrence of ICU admission and mortality within the index hospital admission, and post-discharge survival at reported follow-up time points, up to one year, in critically ill adults not yet admitted to the ICU. The objective in PICOTS format is as follows. POPULATION: critically ill adults not yet admitted to the ICU Index prognostic model: available prognostic models with or without external validation Comparator: not applicable Outcomes: ICU admission, ICU and hospital mortality, and post-discharge survival Timing: for ICU admission or transfer, ICU mortality, and hospital mortality outcomes, the timing will be in hospital. For post-discharge survival, the timing will be up to 28 days, 1 to 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after hospital discharge. SETTING: acute hospital wards and emergency care departments.
