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 %.
