Research

Our group investigates the outcomes of critically ill patients.

Our studies’ approaches comprise a combination of observational studies, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, as well as clinical trials. We believe that a better understanding of the epidemiology of acute and critically ill patients may help design interventions that aim at improving the quality of care and ultimately patients’ outcomes. The main topics of our studies involve quality of care delivery, efficiency of intensive care units (ICUs), delirium in critically ill patients as well as subgroups of interest in critical care such as patients with sepsis, cancer and acute respiratory failure.
