Among patients with respiratory failure (n\u2009=\u200945,339), admission to the ICU was associated with a 0.82-day shorter hospital length of stay (95% CI, \u20131.17 to \u20130.46; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and reduced in-hospital mortality (odds ratio, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57\u20130.96; P\u2009=\u20090.04). In sensitivity analyses of length of stay, excluding, ignoring, or censoring death, results were similar in sepsis but not in respiratory failure. In subgroup analyses, harms of ICU admission for patients with sepsis were concentrated among older patients and those with fewer comorbidities, and the benefits of ICU admission for patients with respiratory failure were concentrated among older patients, highest-acuity patients, and those with more comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among high-acuity patients with sepsis who did not require life support in the emergency department, initial admission to the ward, compared with the ICU, was associated with shorter length of stay and improved survival, whereas among patients with acute respiratory failure, triage to the ICU compared with the ward was associated with improved survival.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.202106-1350oc","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,24]],"date-time":"2021-11-24T14:15:51Z","timestamp":1637763351000},"page":"520-528","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1164\/crossmarkpolicies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Association of ICU Admission and Outcomes in Sepsis and Acute Respiratory Failure"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"205","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4585-0714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"George L.","family":"Anesi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care"},{"name":"Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics"},{"name":"Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent X.","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente, Oakland, California"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marzana","family":"Chowdhury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dylan S.","family":"Small","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative and Advanced Illness Research (PAIR) Center, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.
