Abstract

The advent of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. As the virus spread across continents, hospitals faced a surge in patient admissions, particularly to intensive care units (ICUs). Understanding the impact of the pandemic on the sickest patients admitted to hospital is crucial for enhancing preparedness for future outbreaks. In this edition of the journal, authors from Denmark report on a register-based national observational study that sheds light on the changes in ICU admission rates and demographic profiles of patients during the initial phase of the pandemic.
