“…Several prior investigations have demonstrated that outcomes of intensive care and mechanical ventilation vary according to diagnosis, severity of acute illness, and age 1–3,7,25–28 . Similar to our findings, prior research has shown good functional outcomes and long‐term survival for patients with respiratory failure who survive the index hospitalization 1,26,27,29 . A recent study by Ely et al examined resource use and survival for patients treated with mechanical ventilation and found that patients who were 75 and older had similar survival but lower costs of care than patients younger than 75 30 …”

“…These include the use of average costs obtained from dividing total annual expenditure by patient throughput [6], the use of severity of illness and workload scoring systems [7][8][9] and the use of billing systems [10]. These studies have identified the costs of intensive care in isolation, without considering their application and validity in the strategic planning and management of services.…”

“…The first 100 patients undergoing mechanically assisted ventila¬ tion at a medium-sized (250 beds; 14 ICU beds) community hospital were studied from Jan 1,1980, through Aug 1,1980 Figure 3 illustrates the distribution of these charges in survivors and nonsurvivors. On the average, hospitaliza¬ tion charges for the survivors exceeded those of nonsur¬ vivors by $3,600 (Table 2).…”
