Objective: Evaluation of resource use and costs of a medical intensive care unit (ICU) utilising the simplified Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System (TISS-218). Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: Medical ICU of a tertiary care centre. Patients: Consecutive patients with an ICU length of stay (LOS) more than 24 h. Interventions: Over a 3 month period SAPS II, TISS-28 and SOFA were determined daily. Patients were retrospectively classified as receiving active (AT) or non-active (NAT) treatment according to TISS-28 variables, with AT representing a therapeutic intervention that could not be performed outside the ICU. Individual expenditure for all patients was calculated using, a modified 'top-down' method. Measurements and results: Out of 303 consecutive patients, 241 (79.5%), including all non-survivors, were categorised AT. The hospital mortality was 14.5%. TISS-28 and ICU LOS were higher in patients receiving AT (p
