CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Patients are often admitted to intensive care units with delay in relation to when this service was indicated. The objective was to verify whether this delay influences hospital mortality, length of stay in the unit and hospital, and APACHE II prediction.

The variables studied were APACHE II, death risk, length of stay in the unit and hospital, and hospital mortality rate. The patients were divided into two groups according to the time elapsed between end of surgery and admission ...
