Objective: Respiratory intensive care units (RICUs) play a critical role in managing patients with severe respiratory conditions, including acute and chronic respiratory failure, severe lung infections, and pulmonary edema. Mortality-related factors in these specialized units may differ from those observed in general intensive care units. This study aims to identify these distinctions.
