The death rate of patients admitted to intensive care with coronavirus now stands at more than 51 per cent, according to a study of critical care outcomes.

The figure comes from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research
Centre (ICNARC) and is based on a sample of 3,883 coronavirus patients.

It comes as the UK saw its deadliest day in the outbreak so far with a
record increase of 980 deaths in just 24 hours, pushing the total
fatalities up to almost 9,000.

The recent study shows that out of 1,689 patients in the sample whose care outcome was known, 871 died (51.6 per cent), while 818 were discharged.

In comparison, just 22 per cent out of 5,367 patients taken into critical
care with non-Covid-19 viral pneumonia died between 2017 and 2019.

The coronavirus figures come from 284 NHS critical care units in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland taking part in an ICNARC programme as of 4pm on April 9.

According to the study, the data shows that: "Of the 3,883 patients, 871 patients have died, 818 patients have been discharged alive from critical
care and 2,194 patients were last reported as still receiving critical
care."

The mortality rate is currently higher for men and increases with age, the
data shows.

Of the 871 people who died, 53.6 per cent were male, while 46.3 per cent
were women.

Meanwhile, the largest number of deaths were among those aged between
70-79 at 298, followed by the 60-69 age group, with 273 reported.

Thirty-one patients died aged between 16-39, 46 were 40-49 and 145 were
50-59. A total of 78 patients died aged over 80.

The average (mean) age of those admitted to intensive care with
coronavirus was 59.8 years, with 72.5 per cent of patients recorded as
male.

Some 2,291 (59 per cent) patients in critical care had to be mechanically ventilated in the first 24 hours, the study revealed.

The largest number of Covid-19 patients remains in London, with 1,428
being managed by the three London Operational Delivery Networks - the
system of co-ordinating patient care across the capital.

Previous figures from April 3, recorded the death rate as being at 50.1
per cent.

Critical care units involved in the initiative are asked to notify ICNARC
as soon as they have an admission with Covid-19 and provide data at
different points of their treatment.

### - the stats beginning to build up now, i hope the boris knows/realises
just exactly how lucky he actually was huh?

a less than 50/50 chance where he was!

so will he be perhaps more human & thus humane afterwards like people who experience NDE's often are, or will it all just wear off before he gets
back to being business as usual?

i mean, surely he must have 'noticed' the generally underpaid frontline
troops who were all fussing around him trying to keep him alive? probably wiping his arse and everything! and who've undoubtedly deserved a very
large pay-rise for 'years' but who have never received one due to cuts in
the health service generally and the long period of austerity since 2008?

one would imagine so anyway huh... although there'll prolly be some excuse
made re not having any money left now after all this, plus with
donkey's-years of more austerity to follow while the whole planet recovers
from a hugely worse economic disaster than even the 2008 or 1920's crash!

oh well, we're all piss-poor now lol, maybe they'll have to come up with
some kinda different general wage regime or something eh?, the rich
suddenly finding themselves a whole lot less wealthy by the time all this
is over! (lol it must be burning their hands off having to give it all
back again? hah!)
