Social Deprivation Features in Intensive Care Unit Patients

Socioeconomic inequalities are increasingly recognised as an important public health issue, and it is now well established that patients with socioeconomic deprivation (SED) features demonstrate higher mortality and morbidity. The epidemiology and impact of SED on the specific population of ICU patients has been insufficiently investigated. In this prospective multicenter study of patients admitted to 9 ICUs of the Paris area, the investigators aim to explore the epidemiology of SED features, and its impact on mortality and length of stay.
