Summary

This study will look back at the records of 1,000 surgery patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in Villavicencio, Colombia, between 2022 and 2024. The goal is to understand what patient and surgery factors are linked to worse outcomes, such as death in the ICU or longer stays. By focusing only on surgical patients, the researchers hope to fill a gap in knowledge and help improve care for this specific group.
