Sepsis, ARDS, traumatic head injury, and HIV/AIDS were the most frequent admission diagnoses during the study period (Table 2) . Neurosurgical conditions accounted for the ICU admission diagnosis with the highest mortality. Patients who stayed in the hospital for 6 to 10 days were three times more likely to survive compared with patients who stayed for 1 to 5 days. Patients who stayed for 11-20 days were at twice as likely to surviveas likely to die compared with patients who stayed for 1 to 5 days ( Figure 1 ) (Table 4 ). Patients who stayed for >20 days were almost twice as likely to survive compared with patients staying for 1 to 5 days.
