Incidence and predictors of mortality among patients admitted to adult intensive care unit at public hospitals in Western Ethiopia: a retrospective cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: In resource-constrained countries, the incidence of mortality among patients admitted to adult intensive care units is higher than that in developed countries, which has a physical, economic, and emotional impact on the lives of patients and their families. However, there is limited evidence on factors related to nursing care that can potentially contribute to predicting and reducing mortality rates in intensive care units. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence of mortality and its predictors in patients admitted to an adult intensive care unit. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 403 patients admitted to the adult intensive care unit from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. The collected data were entered into Epi Data Manager v4.6.0.6 and exported to SPSS version 24 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of mortality. Variables with a Results: A total of 403 patients were included in the analysis. The cumulative incidence of death was 40.9% (95% CI 36, 45.9%). Mortality was significantly associated with the need for mechanical ventilation (adjusted RR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.04, 1.85), the Glasgow Coma Scale score < 8 (adjusted RR, 3.52; 95% CI: 2.90, 4.05), presence of comorbidity (adjusted RR, 1.47; 95% CI: 1.09, 1.83), length of stay in ICU < 24 h (adjusted RR, 1.84; 95% CI: 1.37, 2.04), oxygen saturation level, and Feeding, Analgesia, Sedation, Thrombosis prophylaxis, Head elevation, Ulcer prophylaxis, and Glucose control (FASTHUG) treatment received were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion: The study found a high incidence proportion of death. The need for mechanical ventilation, length of stay, comorbidity, and the Glasgow Coma Scale score were significantly associated with mortality. Therefore, close monitoring and evaluation of patients are essential to improve treatment outcomes.
