Data collection - outcomes • Wardwatcher™ database • ICU mortality • Hospital mortality • ICU length of stay • Ventilator days • Hospital length of stay
Results – Total admissions • Sample size – 771 patients • No. alcohol related – 196 (25.4%) • No. chronic alcohol related – 171 (22.2%) • Unplanned admissions • Sample size – 642 patients • No. alcohol related – 196 (30.5%) • No. chronic alcohol related – 171 (26.6%)
