It included all patients admitted to the ICU in the 24 months pre- and 12 months post-CPOE (Misys<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>) implementation. Data were extracted from a prospectively collected ICU database and included: demographics, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, admission diagnosis and comorbid conditions. Outcomes compared in different pre- and post-CPOE periods included: ICU and hospital mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation, and ICU and hospital length of stay. These outcomes were also compared in selected high risk subgroups of patients (age 12-17 years, traumatic brain injury, admission diagnosis of sepsis and admission APACHE II &gt; 23). Multivariate analysis was used to adjust for imbalances in baseline characteristics and selected clinically relevant variables.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There were 1638 and 898 patients admitted to the ICU in the specified pre- and post-CPOE periods, respectively (age = 52 \u00b1 22 vs. 52 \u00b1 21 years, p = 0.74; APACHE II = 24 \u00b1 9 vs. 24 \u00b1 10, p = 0.83). During these periods, there were no differences in ICU (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.7-1.3) and in hospital mortality (aOR 1.00, 95% CI 0.8-1.3). CPOE implementation was associated with similar duration of mechanical ventilation and of stay in the ICU and hospital. There was no increased mortality or stay in the high risk subgroups after CPOE implementation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The implementation of CPOE in an adult medical surgical ICU resulted in no improvement in patient outcomes in the immediate phase and up to 12 months after implementation.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6947-11-71","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,19]],"date-time":"2011-11-19T19:15:21Z","timestamp":1321730121000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Impact of computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system on the outcome of critically ill adult patients: a before-after study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Hasan M","family":"Al-Dorzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hani M","family":"Tamim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antoine","family":"Cherfan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamad A","family":"Hassan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saadi","family":"Taher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaseen M","family":"Arabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"446_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijmedinf.2007.10.001","volume":"77","author":"S Eslami","year":"2008","unstructured":"Eslami S, de Keizer NF, Abu-Hanna A: The impact of computerized physician medication order entry in hospitalized patients--a systematic review.
