Developing a Mortality Risk Score in Intensive Care Units of Referral Hospitals in Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia: A Prognostic 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
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a mortality risk score in the intensive care units of referral hospitals in Bahir Dar City. Methods: The study included 852 participants who were admitted from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. We used EpiData version 3.1 for data entry and R-software for analysis. The mortality rate among participants was 35.9%. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to identify the independent prognostic determinants. Using beta-coefficients, we developed and validated a prognostic model. Then a mortality risk score was determined based on the value of each prognostic determinant variable. Results: Age, sex, health insurance user status, respiratory rate, temperature, mean arterial pressure, Glasgow Coma Scale, WBC count, sepsis, ARDS, organ-insufficiency, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor were independent prognostic determinants. Based on the prognostic determinants, we developed an easily applicable mortality risk score model. The model had a discrimination performance of AUC 0.90 (95% confidence interval of 0.88-0.92) and a calibration Conclusion: The prognostic determinants identified in this study are easily accessible and easy to capture in routine clinical settings. As a result, the developed model has the potential to be effectively applied in low-income countries where resources may be limited. Implication for Clinical Practice: The model can help healthcare providers in low-income settings to identify high-risk patients and develop appropriate interventions to improve patient outcomes.
