Brief summary

Using data from the French National Uniform Hospital Discharge Database (systematically collecting administrative and medical information related to all hospitalized patients in France for care reimbursement purposes), the present study retrospectively assesses the activity of the French Intensive Care Unit (ICU)(1,594,801 ICU admissions): * In-ICU and in-hospital mortality rates * Length of stay in ICU and hospital * Mortality-associated factors during the study period. * Number of organ failures * Bed occupancy, * Regional variations in previous indicators
