Shift-Level Team Familiarity Is Associated with Improved Outcomes in Mechanically Ventilated Adults
An erratum to this article was published (Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 1 Sep 2024 ↗)
Authors' conclusion
Interprofessional familiarity was associated with improved outcomes
Study context
- Population
- Mechanically ventilated adults in five ICUs of an academic medical center
- Participants
- 4,485 encounters
- Exposure
- Greater vs lower interprofessional team familiarity
- Outcome
- Association of 1-SD increase in team coreness with outcomes
Methodological detailssingle academic medical centre, five ICUs, electronic health records, split-sample analysis
- Single academic medical centre
- Five ICUs
- Electronic health records
- Split-sample analysis
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Greater probability of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) implementation per 1-SD increase in team coreness
- 4.5%
- Shorter mechanical ventilation (MV) duration per 1-SD increase in team coreness
- 23%
- Lower probability of dying per 1-SD increase in team coreness
- 3.8%
- Unadjusted mortality, whole cohort
- 12.9%
- Average duration of MV, whole cohort (days)
- 2.32
- SBT implementation, whole cohort
- 89%
- Average team coreness (SD 96.15)
- 467.2
- Average mean team value (SD 42.42)
- 87.02
Observational data: associations, not effects.
