Abstract

Background: Resources are limited, and it is exceedingly difficult to provide intensive care in developing nations. In Somalia, intensive care unit (ICU) care was introduced only a few years ago.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the epidemiology, characteristics, and outcome of ICU-managed patients in a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the files of 1082 patients admitted to our ICU during the year 2021.

Results: The majority (39.7%) of the patients were adults (aged between 20 and 39 years), and 67.8% were male patients. The median ICU length of stay was three days (IQR = 5 days), and nonsurvivors had shorter stays, one day. The mortality rate was 45.1%. The demand for critical care services in low-income countries is high.

Conclusion: The country has a very low ICU bed capacity. Critical care remains a neglected area of health service delivery in this setting, with large numbers of patients with potentially treatable conditions not having access to such services.

icu管理患者的流行病学、特征和结果:一项回顾性单中心研究。

背景:资源有限，在发展中国家提供重症监护极其困难。在索马里，重症监护病房(ICU)护理几年前才开始实行。目的:在本研究中，我们旨在确定摩加迪沙一家三级医院icu管理患者的流行病学、特征和预后。方法:回顾性分析2021年我院ICU收治的1082例患者的资料。结果:20 ~ 39岁的成人占绝大多数(39.7%)，男性占67.8%。ICU的中位住院时间为3天(IQR = 5天)，非幸存者的住院时间更短，为1天。死亡率为45.1%。低收入国家对重症监护服务的需求很高。结论:我国ICU病床容量很低。在这种情况下，重症监护仍然是卫生服务提供的一个被忽视的领域，大量患有潜在可治疗疾病的患者无法获得此类服务。
