Background: Many studies show that there are differences between men and women when it comes to different aspects ofi health care. The knowledge ofi these differences is limited when relating to intensive care in Sweden. Method: Demographic data registered in the Swedish intensive care register including all intensive care cases during the year of 2009 (n=695) in an intensive care unit in a hospital in southern Sweden was analyzed. A group comparison between the sexes was made with thefiollowing variables: number ofi patients admitted, length ofi stay in the ICU, SAPS 3 (Simplified Acute Physiology Score) points, thefiive most common diagnosis, mortality and mortality per diagnosis. Results: The study showed an over-representation ofimen (62,2 %, p<0.001) in number ofiintensive care patients. The mortality was 9,9 % overall and significantly higher amongst men (11,8 %), compared with women (6,8 %, p=0.034). There were no differences between the sexes in length ofi stay, diagnosis, SAPS 3 points and mortality per diagnosis. Conclusions: This study has shown that more men than women are treated in the intensive care unit and that more men die during their time in the intensive care unit. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: abstract research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Swedish refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
