Near Hanging
Conditions
Brief summary
Near-Hanging is a catastrophic event that has been merely studied in the literature. We aimed to report the outcomes, and early predictors of hospital survivors in critically ill patients with near-hanging. Patients admitted to 31 university or university-affiliated participating ICUs in France and Belgium between 1992 and 2014 were studied retrospectively. Hospital survival was the main judgment criterion.
Interventions
To identify associations between factors listed in Table 1 and hospital survival, we used logistic regression
