Mortality among patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) with COVID-19 is unclear due to variable follow-up periods. Few nationwide data are available to compare risk factors, treatment and outcomes of COVID-19 patients after ICU admission.
To evaluate baseline characteristics, treatments and 30-day outcomes of patients admitted to Swedish ICUs with COVID-19.
Registry-based cohort study with prospective data collection.
Admissions to Swedish ICUs from 6 March to 6 May 2020 with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 disease.
Adult patients admitted to Swedish ICUs.
Baseline characteristics, intensive care treatments and organ failures.
The primary outcome was 30-day all-cause mortality. A multivariable model was used to determine the independent association between potential predictor variables and death.
We identified 1563 patients with complete 30-day follow-up. The 30-day all-cause mortality was 26.7%. Median age was 61 [52 to 69], Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS III) was 53 [46 to 59] and 62.5% had at least one comorbidity. Median PaO2/FiO2 on admission was 97.5 [75.0 to 140.6] mmHg, 74.7% suffered from moderate-to-severe acute respiratory failure. Age, male sex [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.5 (1.1 to 2.2)], SAPS III score [aOR 1.3 (1.2 to 1.4)], severe respiratory failure [aOR 3.0 (2.0 to 4.7)], specific COVID-19 pharmacotherapy [aOR 1.4 (1.0 to 1.9)] and continuous renal replacement therapy [aOR 2.1 (1.5 to 3.0)] were associated with increased mortality. Except for chronic lung disease, the presence of comorbidities was not independently associated with mortality.
Thirty-day mortality rate in COVID-19 patients admitted to Swedish ICUs is generally lower than previously reported despite a severe degree of hypoxaemia on admission. Mortality was driven by age, baseline disease severity, the presence and degree of organ failure, rather than pre-existing comorbidities.

由于随访时间不同,COVID-19 患者入住重症监护病房(ICU)的死亡率尚不清楚。很少有全国性的数据可以比较 COVID-19 患者 ICU 入住后的危险因素、治疗和结局。
评估瑞典 ICU 收治的 COVID-19 患者的基线特征、治疗和 30 天结局。
基于登记的前瞻性数据收集队列研究。
2020 年 3 月 6 日至 5 月 6 日期间,实验室确诊 COVID-19 疾病后入住瑞典 ICU 的成年患者。
入住瑞典 ICU 的患者。
基线特征、重症监护治疗和器官衰竭。
主要结局为 30 天全因死亡率。采用多变量模型确定潜在预测变量与死亡之间的独立关联。
我们确定了 1563 例有完整 30 天随访的患者。30 天全因死亡率为 26.7%。中位年龄为 61 岁[52 至 69 岁],简化急性生理学评分Ⅲ(SAPS III)为 53 分[46 至 59 分],62.5%至少有一种合并症。入院时的 PaO2/FiO2 中位数为 97.5[75.0 至 140.6]mmHg,74.7%患有中重度急性呼吸衰竭。年龄、男性[校正优势比(aOR)1.5(1.1 至 2.2)]、SAPS III 评分[aOR 1.3(1.2 至 1.4)]、严重呼吸衰竭[aOR 3.0(2.0 至 4.7)]、特定 COVID-19 药物治疗[aOR 1.4(1.0 至 1.9)]和连续肾脏替代治疗[aOR 2.1(1.5 至 3.0)]与死亡率增加相关。除慢性肺部疾病外,合并症的存在与死亡率无独立相关性。
尽管入院时存在严重低氧血症,但瑞典 ICU 收治的 COVID-19 患者的 30 天死亡率普遍低于之前的报告。死亡率由年龄、基线疾病严重程度、器官衰竭的存在和程度驱动,而不是预先存在的合并症。
