Survival After an ICU Hospitalization for Pulmonary Hypertension

[摘要] Figures Figure 1 Post-MICU discharge survival in our cohort compared with matched patients without MICU admission during the study period. Patients admitted to the MICU had a 1- and 2-year survival rates of 48.3% and 42.0%, respectively, compared with 96.5% and 91.31% (hazard ratio, 7.79; 95% CI, 3.68-16.49). MICU = medical ICU. The critical care management of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is challenging¹ and is associated with high mortality.^2-5 Long-term outcomes of patients with PH who survive an episode of critical illness have not been characterized. Our study aimed to elucidate the clinical features, mortality, and predictors of long-term mortality after an admission to the medical ICU (MICU) in patients with PH.
