Opportunities for improvement in adult trauma patients admitted to the intensive care unit: A registry-based cohort study
Authors' conclusion
The care of patients who are physiologically more stable on admission to the ICU is more likely to be associated with OFI. This association is particularly pronounced in patients who ultimately die.
