Safety of interhospital transfer for critically ill COVID-19 patients

When comparing transferred patients to a PSM group which was not transferred both, ICU mortality (29.1% vs. 25.0%; p = 0.432) and hospital mortality (31.8% vs. 27.0%; p = 0.372) tended to be numerically higher. The same pattern was found for ICU and hospital length of stay (Additional file 1: Barrat...

Summary:When comparing transferred patients to a PSM group which was not transferred both, ICU mortality (29.1% vs. 25.0%; p = 0.432) and hospital mortality (31.8% vs. 27.0%; p = 0.372) tended to be numerically higher. The same pattern was found for ICU and hospital length of stay (Additional file 1: Barratt H, Harrison DA, Rowan KM, Raine R.
