Long Length of Stay in the Intensive Care Unit (≥90 Days): Retrospective Analysis of Predisposing Factors and Results

Objective:This study aimed to determine factors affecting the duration of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by determining the clinical characteristics and results of patients with long ICU stay (≥90 days).Materials and Methods:Data of patients (n=98) hospitalised in the ICU for ≥90 days between...
