In this retrospective cohort study, the files of 290 patients admitted toEICU, MICU, and SICU of RasoulAkram Hospital in Tehran, were evaluated in a 6 month period. The outcome of every patient wascollected, patients APACHE-II scores were calculated, and the departments were compared each other.Results
There was no statistically meaningful difference among the patients of departments evaluated for age and sex. APACHE-II scoresof patients of EICU were meaningfully lower than two other wards.The stay length and mortality rate of patients admitted to EICU were meaningfully lower than two other wards.Conclusion
