Comparison of clinical characteristics and outcomes between homeless and non-homeless patients admitted to intensive care units: An observational propensity-matched cohort study in Korea

Journal of Critical Care Apr 09, 2019

Lee YJ, et al. - Via this retrospective analysis, researchers compared clinical features and outcomes among critically ill homeless (n=56) and non-homeless (n=112) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in Korea. They examined the medical charts for patients admitted to the Seoul Boramae Medical Center ICU between January 2012 and December 2017. Via 1:2 propensity score matching—including age, sex, and type of ICU—eligible patients were selected for study inclusion. Risk factors for hospital and ICU mortality were identified via multivariate analyses. Good management of ICU-admitted homeless patients in Korea was evident; the organ support quality and prognosis in these patients was no different than that of non-homeless patients. However, homeless patients still received poor-quality end-of-life care.
