Patients were categorised following an initial screening (within 48\u2005h) and subsequent daily review as those with dermatological manifestations in association with multisystem disorder (category 1), occurring due to treatment or critical illness (category 2), coincidental lesions (category 3) or primary dermatological conditions needing intensive care (category 4). Outcomes included mortality, duration of ventilation and hospitalisation. Factors associated with mortality were explored using univariate and multivariate analyses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Dermatological manifestations were observed in 427 (42.2%) patients, predominantly of categories 1 (n=159) and 2 (n=160). Common aetiologies were infections (39.3%) and mechanical, thermal or physical injuries (32.8%). Primary dermatological conditions (n=33) included 21 patients with cutaneous infections, 3 with angioedema, 2 each with pemphigus, toxic epidermal necrolysis and psoriasis, and 1 each with Stevens\u2013Johnson syndrome, drug hypersensitivity syndrome and crusted scabies. The presence of cutaneous lesions increased mortality risk (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.03) and significantly (p&amp;lt;0.001) prolonged ventilation and hospitalisation. Mortality was higher (p&amp;lt;0.001) in patients in categories 4 (65.6%) and 2 (57.5%) compared to those without manifestations (35.5%). After adjusting for age, Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE-II) score, ventilation and dialysis, the association between dermatological manifestations and mortality was insignificant (OR 1.37, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.95).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Dermatological manifestations are common in ICU patients.
