==Significance==

~~( describe how this~~ is ~~significant)~~

Mortality is heavily influenced by case mix and severity of illness. Any differences in mortality between units or over time should be examined for differences in patient population first. Other Factors affecting mortality include structural and process-related aspects of care.

==Sampling Plan / Procedure==

~~{{discuss | who~~=~~Julie | question~~= ~~What are the details? }}~~

===Inclusion Criteria===

=~~==Includion~~ Criteria===

* 100% of all patients physically present in an unit bed and have a [[Dispo]] of one of the following:

~~{{discuss | who=Julie | question= What are~~ the ~~details? }}~~

** Died - to morgue

** Died - to OR

** Died - to other ICU

===Exclusion Criteria===

~~{{discuss | who=Julie | question= What are~~ the ~~details? }}~~

If the patient has a [[Dispo]] "Died - *" in more than one location, only the first one is counted. (E.g. for [[Guideline for coding organ donation after death | organ donors]])

~~===Frequency===~~

~~{{discuss~~ | ~~who=Julie | question= What are the details? }}~~

==Definition and Derivation==

~~Percent ICU deaths per calendar month~~

===Numerator===

Num = Total number of patients who died

~~===Numerator===~~

~~{{discuss | who=Julie | question= What are the details? }}~~

===Denominator===

~~{{discuss | who~~=~~Julie | question~~= ~~What are the details? }}~~

Denom = Total number of patients

===Formula===

Unit Mortality (%) = Num / Denom * 100

==Data Sources==
