In this sense, our results have potential implications for ICU performance evaluation and more importantly for benchmarking purposes in Brazilian ICUs.
Buildings in different climatic conditions, such as hot and dry, warm and humid, and composite climates, were chosen for benchmarking purposes.
Therefore, the authors conclude that, for benchmarking purposes, the energy usage of swimming facilities, shall be preferably normalised with respect to the number of visitors.
Although they should not be used on individual basis, they are useful to evaluate ICU performance, to monitor it overtime, to guide resource management and quality improvements, and for benchmarking purposes [1].
This is the case in the set of bioactive compounds from the DUD-E database that were used for benchmarking purposes as they contained a mean of 2.18 hydrogen bond donors.
Therefore, an expected next step for these applications will be to test them for benchmarking purposes as they could reduce the heterogeneity of the critically ill populations enabling even more objective comparisons of outcomes.
