Critical care outcome prediction equation model, version 7 Open
Critical care outcome prediction equation, version 7 is a parsimonious hospital mortality prediction model for adult intensive care admissions, derived from administrative data common to all jurisdictions.

Documentation and evaluation of care of dying patients Open
EOLC in ICU remains challenging due to diagnostic dilemmas, prognostic uncertainty, and short time-frames. Assessment of quality of EoLC care helps assess and possibly improve provision of care. The DECODE questionnaire provides a semi-obj…

DECODE the quality of dying in the intensive care unit Open
Objective Existing national quality of care processes do not assess quality of care for the dying patient. We developed the Documentation and Evaluation of Care of Dying Equation (DECoDE) score, a 21-point unweighted binary questionnaire. …

Hospital Outcome Prediction Equation (HOPE) model, version 7. Open
Background: The hospital standardised mortality ratio (HSMR) is a simple ratio, yet, plagued by sparsity, dimensionality, over-dispersion, exclusivity, and clinical controversy. We describe the Hospital Outcome Prediction Equation, version…

Hospital Standardised Length of Stay Ratio Open
Objective. Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a key indicator of hospital efficiency and quality of care, but a reliable metric for benchmarking LOS remains problematic. This report describes the methodology to generate a standardised hospit…

The impact of a tailored nutrition intervention delivered for the duration of hospitalisation on daily energy delivery for patients with critical illness (INTENT): a phase II randomised controlled trial Open
Background Nutrition interventions commenced in ICU and continued through to hospital discharge have not been definitively tested in critical care to date. To commence a program of research, we aimed to determine if a tailored nutrition in…

Modelling of intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay as a quality measure: a problematic exercise Open
Background Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) and the risk adjusted equivalent (RALOS) have been used as quality metrics. The latter measures entail either ratio or difference formulations or ICU random effects (RE), which have…

Admissions of Children and Adolescents With Deliberate Self-harm to Intensive Care During the SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak in Australia Open
This cohort study found that the coronavirus pandemic in Australia was associated with a significant increase in admissions of children and adolescents to intensive care with DSH.

Long-term outcomes of hospital survivors following an ICU stay: A multi-centre retrospective cohort study Open
Background The focus of much Intensive Care research has been on short-term survival, which has demonstrated clear improvements over time. Less work has investigated long-term survival, and its correlates. This study describes long-term su…

Modelling hospital outcome: problems with endogeneity Open
Background Mortality modelling in the critical care paradigm traditionally uses logistic regression, despite the availability of estimators commonly used in alternate disciplines. Little attention has been paid to covariate endogeneity and…

Reliability of comorbidity scores derived from administrative data in the tertiary hospital intensive care setting: a cross-sectional study Open
Background Hospital reporting systems commonly use administrative data to calculate comorbidity scores in order to provide risk-adjustment to outcome indicators. Objective We aimed to elucidate the level of agreement between administrative…
