Abstract
The relationship between admission time and ICU outcome is contentious with studies showing it is associated with a poor outcome [1], and contradictory studies that suggest there is no difference [2]. This study compared ICU outcomes between daytime (DT) and night-time (NT) admissions in our local medical intensive care unit. NT admissions were defined as those between 20:00 and 07:59.
