Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of ICU admission on postoperative mortality for high-risk surgical patients in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), finding that ICU allocation did not significantly reduce mortality rates despite higher allocation to it among the most at-risk patients.
- Among 1431 patients analyzed, those in the ICU had a 28% 30-day mortality rate compared to 8.9% in the Postanesthetic Care Unit, indicating that the location of care might not be the sole factor influencing outcomes.
- The findings highlight a need for improved postoperative care strategies and further exploration of risk assessment models to aid in decision-making for high-risk patients, particularly in resource-limited settings.
