Use of general scoring systems, organ failure scores and nursing activity scores in the ICU

Survey on the use of various ICU scoring systems

The study is anonymous, you only reveal some information about your ICU, your position and the country, and only adult ICUs is the focus of this study.
 We hope you will use 5-10 minutes of your time to provide us your feedback as this will help us develop a future agenda for scoring systems in the ICU.

Thank you for your participation,
