Evidence from an analysis of 69 studies conducted in approximately 40 countries regarding ICU mortality was presented on SKAI and the show “Kalimera” by Nikos Tzanakis, Professor of Pulmonology at the University of Crete, on the occasion of the political controversy that has erupted over the study of Tsi. -Ransom.
“The Lytra-Tsiodra report is an article that was published in September in a Swedish public health magazine and explains some conclusions that are largely known and self-evident,” he said.
As he explained, there is an analysis of 69 studies from around the world with mortality in ICUs with a sample of about 45,000 intubated patients, which shows that the overall mortality of the Greek study is lower. “According to this analysis, which includes data from about 40 countries, at the age of 61-70 years mortality was recorded 71%, at the ages 71-80 years 77% and at the ages over 80 years showed a mortality of 84.4%. In the study of Lytra-Tsiodra, the total mortality was 63.5%, obviously lower than the analysis of 45,000 intubated “, said Mr. Tzanakis.
For her part, the president of the Athens-Piraeus hospital doctors, Matina Pagonis, pointed out that “for the past 6 years, we have told all the ministers, Mr. Xanthos and Mr. Kikilias and Mr. Plevris that the position of intubated are in the ICU, whether it is Covid or non Covid. For years, ICUs should have had many more beds. We knew the percentage and we all know it. Both doctors and nurses. That is why we are asking for funding for hospitals and staff recruitment. ”
