dc.description.abstractRationale: Although ICUs with higher overall patient volume may achieve better outcomes, there are few data on the effects of increasing patient loads on patients within the ICU. Methods: We examined 198,877 patients in 108 ICUs in 2002 - 2005 using conditional logistic regression with an ICU-specific fixed effect Main Results: Patients admitted on high census days had the same odds of inpatient mortality or transfer to another hospital as patients admitted on average or on low census days. Conclusions: The ICUs in this data set are able to function as high-reliability organizations.en
