Survival in the Intensive Care Unit: A Prognosis Patient with Rheumatoid Diseases

Abstract

Background: Rheumatic diseases can lead to increased mortality and decreased quality of life. Therefore, we conducted this study to determine the clinical characteristics of patients with rheumatic diseases hospitalized in the ICU.
Methods: In this study, which was conducted in Tehran province, patients who were diagnosed with underlying rheumatic diseases and were admitted to the ICI department were included in the study. Thus, the study encompassed 120 patients diagnosed with rheumatic diseases. In this study, the researchers extracted the list of hospitalized patients by referring to the ICU department. Then, a history was taken from the patients, and if they were suffering from underlying rheumatic disease according to the history taken (from the patient or the patient's companion), they were included in the study. The tools used included a demographic profile form and a patient clinical information checklist. The data obtained from this study were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.
Results: The results showed there was a significant relationship between gender, history of hospitalization, smoking, pressure ulcer, and age with the mortality of ICI patients (P value < 0.05). Also, a higher mortality rate was reported in all patients who had at least one type of underlying disease (P value < 0.05). Therefore, the ICU hospitalized the older patients for longer periods of time.
Conclusion: Variables such as age, sex, and underlying diseases were effective in the clinical condition of patients with RA. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to this issue in providing clinical care.
