Associations between hospital process-structure factors of hospitals reporting delivery of activity to high-severity patients in the intensive care unit

	Delivery to High-Severity Patients (n = 24)	OR	95% CI	P Value
Hospital volume >20,000 patient-days/yr, n (%)	16 (72.7)	1.41	0.45–4.46	0.56
ICU volume >5,000 patient-days/yr, n (%)	15 (68.2)	2.02	0.63–6.44	0.24
Part of a larger hospital network, n (%)	13 (54.2)	1.84	0.59–5.77	0.30
Academic ICU, n (%)	9 (37.5)	4.50	1.21–16.47	0.02
Intensivist-led ICU, n (%)	23 (95.8)	4.72	0.74–30.06	0.02
Advanced care providers in ICU, n (%)	18 (75.0)	3.90	1.15–13.13	0.03
Computerized order entry, n (%)	18 (75.0)	1.06	0.30–3.78	0.93
Written protocol for ICU activity, n (%)	15 (62.5)	6.00	1.69–21.14	0.005
