COVID-19 Mortality Is Going Down in ICUs — What This Means for the Pandemic
The findings are consistent across the globe — from Europe to Asia and North America.
Deaths from COVID-19 in ICUs have dropped by about a third since the start of the outbreak.
Though the decline is substantial, health experts say the mortality rate for ICU patients with COVID-19 is higher than what’s observed with other viral pneumonias.
Health experts think better treatment and more resources may explain the mortality drop.
All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication. Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub and follow our live updates page for the most recent information on the COVID-19 outbreak.
New research from the United Kingdom suggests the overall mortality rate for patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) has dropped by about a third since the beginning of the pandemic.
The study, published in the journal Anaesthesia, tracked mortality in COVID-19 ICUs and recorded a decline from above 50 percent in March to 42 percent in May.
The findings are consistent across the globe — from Europe to Asia and North America.
Health experts suspect the drop is due to a few factors: Criteria for ICU admission has evolved, doctors have a better understanding of how to treat COVID-19 symptoms and complications, and healthcare facilities have more resources, compared with the start of the pandemic when the world was underprepared.
