The phrase "admission refusal" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to applications, such as college admissions or event entries, where someone is denied entry or acceptance.
Example: "The university sent a letter of admission refusal to the applicants who did not meet the criteria."
Alternatives: "denial of admission" or "rejection of application".
In the overall sample, 15% of the patients were refused admission, although ICU admission refusal rates varied widely across centres, (2%, 5%, 10%, 11 %, 13 %, 18 %, 18 %, 25 %, 27 %, 28 %, 48tly due to differences in case-mix.
S7 Assessing the process of ICU admission refusal in critically ill patients with hematological malignancies.
Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with ICU admission refusal.
As a consequence, rationing intensive care unit (ICU) beds is common and often leads to admission refusal.
Characteristics and outcomes of patient admitted in four ICUs with usual HBA, defined by admission refusal rate less than 11%% because of bed unavailability, were compared to patients admitted in six ICUs with usual low bed availability (LBA), i.e., an admission refusal rate higher than 10%% during a 90-day period.
The unavailability of free ICU beds was the most frequent reason for admission refusal (76.7 %), followed by patient's severity considered as extreme (hopeless cases) in 12.1 %, or not enough severe in 10%%.
Thus, the two groups were as follows: low bed availability (LBA) greater than 10%% rate of admission refusals due only to a full unit and HBA as a refusal rate for a full unit no greater than 10%%.
A systematic review by Sinuff and colleagues [ 23] confirmed that hospital mortality is increased three-fold for patients refused ICU admission; however, refusals may sometimes just reflect changes in goals of care or prognosis.
Conclusions: The most important factors influencing decisions about admission (or refusal of admission) in the ICU are bed availability and prognosis of the underlying disease.
Patients with possible other causes of consciousness disorders, previous cognitive disorders, hypothermia <35 °C or circulatory arrest within 24 h after ICU admission, or refusal to use their data were excluded.
MPM IIM0 score was calculated for each patient and the following data were collected: sex, referring specialty, APACHE II diagnostic weighting, admission or refusal of admission to ICU and hospital survival.
