Abstract

PURPOSE: Patients are admitted to intensive care units (ICU) in tertiary academic centers either through the emergency department (ED) or as a transfer from another healthcare facility (HCF). Such patients may have different severity of illness on admission and this may translate into variable outcomes and expenses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the length of stay in our facility following ICU admission either through our ED or following transfer from another HCF.
