Objective: To develop a predictive equation that estimates the probability of life-supporting therapy among ICU monitor admissions and to explore its potential for reducing cost and improving ICU utilization.Design: Prospective inception cohort analysis.Participants: Forty-two ICUs in 40 US hospitals with more than 200 beds and a consecutive sample of 17,440 ICU admissions.Interventions: A multivariate equation was developed to estimate the probability of life support for ICU monitoring admissions during an entire ICU stay.Measurements: Demographic, physiologic, and treatment information obtained during the first 24 h in the ICU and over the first 7 ICU days.Results: The most important determinants of subsequent risk for life-supporting (active) treatment were diagnosis, the acute physiology score of APACHE III, age, operative status, and the patient's location and hospital length of stay before ICU admission, Among 8,040 ICU monitoring admissions, 6,180 (76.8%) had a low (
