abstract: 'Purpose of reviewThe burden of critical illness in low-income and
|
|
|
|
middle-income countries (LMICs) is substantial. A better understanding
|
|
|
|
of critical care outcomes is essential for improving critical care
|
|
|
|
delivery in resource-limited settings. In this review, we provide an
|
|
|
|
overview of recent literature reporting on critical care outcomes in
|
|
|
|
LMICs. We discuss several barriers and potential solutions for a better
|
|
|
|
understanding of critical care outcomes in LMICs.Recent
|
|
|
|
findingsEpidemiologic studies show higher in-hospital mortality rates
|
|
|
|
for critically ill patients in LMICs as compared with patients in
|
|
|
|
high-income countries (HICs). Recent findings suggest that critical care
|
|
|
|
interventions that are effective in HICs may not be effective and may
|
|
|
|
even be harmful in LMICs. Little data on long-term and morbidity
|
|
|
|
outcomes exist. Better outcomes measurement is beginning to emerge in
|
|
|
|
LMICs through decision support tools that report process outcome
|
|
|
|
measures, studies employing mobile health technologies with community
|
|
|
|
health workers and the development of context-specific severity of
|
|
|
|
illness scores.SummaryOutcomes from HICs cannot be reliably extrapolated
|
|
|
|
to LMICs, so it is important to study outcomes for critically ill
|
|
|
|
patients in LMICs. Specific challenges to achieving meaningful outcomes
|
|
|
|
studies in LMICs include defining the critically ill population when few
|
|
|
|
ICU beds exist, the resource-intensiveness of long-term follow-up, and
|
|
|
|
the need for reliable severity of illness scores to interpret outcomes.
|
|
|
|
Although much work remains to be done, examples of studies overcoming
|
|
|
|
these challenges are beginning to emerge.'
