Table 2. . Clinical outcomes.
| Outcomes | Control group (n = 651) | Intervention group (n = 204) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean length of stay in days (SD) | 8.7 (6.15) | 8.0 (6.89) | <0.001 |
| ICU admission (%) | 13.2 | 5.9 | 0.004 |
| Mean number of ICU days (SD) | 4.2 (5.42) | 3.8 (2.70) | 0.331 |
| RRT activation (%) | 7.4 | 9.8 | 0.263 |
| Readmission (30 days) (%) | 20.7 | 23.5 | 0.396 |
| Resuscitation (%) | 0.9 | 0 | 0.169 |
| In-hospital mortality (%) | 3.1 | 2 | 0.402 |
| Mortality (30 days) (%) | 1.4 | 1 | 0.657 |
p-value pertain to the differences between control and intervention period. Statistical significance was determined using a Mann–Whitney test for ‘Length of stay’ and ‘Mean number of ICU days’. A Chi-square test was used for the other outcome variables.
RRT: Rapid response team; SD: Standard deviation.
