Objective: To identify the clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic characteristics of patients treated in the intensive care unit. Methods: An observational, prospective study was carried out in the intensive care unit, in periods of the years 2018, 2019 and 2020. Patients admitted for more than 24 hours were included. The variables age, sex, origin and diagnosis of the patients, degree of severity, risk factors, community infections and those associated with health care were defined. Results: The patient's average age was 38.6 years (36.1-46.3) and 61.0 % belonged to female. APACHE II mean value and standard deviation was 8.9+6.4 and 1,2 + 2.1 for SOFA. Mortality was 7.0 %. Hypoalbuminemia (24.5 %) were the most important risk factor; 27.3 % of patients received a central venous catheter and 13.9 % mechanical ventilation. Community infections were developed by 54.0% of patients and 8.0 % acquired healthcare associated infections. Conclusions: The population it is characterized by being close to fourth decade, belonging to female sex, proceeding from operating room, clinical conditions, hypoalbuminemia and low values of APACHE II and SOFA scores. Mortality remains stable and the incidence of community infections is high.Julio César González AguileraVíctor Manuel Leyva LorenzoYoleinis Esperanza Vázquez BelizónArmando Arias OrtizJorge Omar Cabrera LaverniaECIMEDarticleepidemiologíafactores de riesgoterapéuticamortalidadpaciente críticounidad de cuidados intensivos.MedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ESRevista Cubana de Medicina Militar, Vol 50, Iss 4, Pp e02101581-e02101581 (2021)
