Critical Care Medicine, 05/06/09
Higgins TL et al. - MPM0-III calibrates on a new population of 55,459 North American patients who include many patients from new ICUs, which helps confirm that the model is robust and was not overfitted to the development sample. Although Project IMPACT participants change over time, 2004-2005 patient risk factors and their relationship to hospital mortality have not significantly changed. The increase in mechanically ventilated patients and reduction in admissions with no risk factors are trends worth following.
