Study description

Research question:
What is the annual prescription rate of selected medicines of importance for public health emergencies, specifically used in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?
Study objectives:
- To estimate annual rate of prescription of selected medicines in a cohort of patients being hospitalized, stratified by Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission (yes/no).
- To characterize the two cohorts of hospitalized patients (ICU admission (yes/no)) who initiated treatment with drug of interest in terms of demographics, presence of COVID-19 infection (yes/no), and use of mechanical ventilation (yes/no).
- To determine dose at treatment initiation and duration of treatment with selected medications in the overall cohort of hospitalized patients being treated with the drug of interest as well as in groups stratified by admission to ICU and mechanical ventilation. Optionally, consumption of the specified drugs at hospital level may be provided.
