Abstract
Patients are sometimes admitted to intensive care units (ICU) after elective noncardiac surgery for advanced monitoring and treatments not available on a general postsurgical ward. However, patterns of ICU utilization are poorly understood. Our aims were to assess the incidence and determinants of ICU utilization after elective noncardiac surgical procedures.Keywords
