Abstract
We successfully accounted for intensive care mortality baseline differences and random effects variations. There were substantial differences between intensive care units in institution type, bed availability, technology, staffing resources, and degree of training, which may have been associated with patient outcome. These results are of crucial importance to track, detect and assess future changes.
