Just had another masterclass in @ICNARC report interpretation by @ActuaryByDay
As I was reading the report, I noticed a couple of things too
Reports here

Both national, and regional network reports available on this page

One of the things that’s apparent when you read the report is the distribution of the disease with social deprivation- the bottom 2 quintiles nationally have nearly 50% of ICU patients
@ActuaryByDay has analysed this, and ethnicity in his thread

Mortality is definitely coming down.
But look at mortality by age
If ventilated, >80s had 80% mortality. >70s not much better
However even <40s has a significant chance of dying if needing ventilation

Of course, as we get more survivors, our length of ICU stay keeps increasing
As you can see here, survivors who needed ventilation had a LOS nearly 3x the average before COVID
Thus they’re needing a lot more bed days/resources

If you needed another organ support, in addition to ventilation, mortality was markedly higher
As you can see in this table

Then you look at the regional networks
Just look at BBC: Birmingham and Black Country.
I was stunned to see that >half of our ICU admissions were from the bottom quintile!
That’s TWICE the national average
Why is disease hitting inner city poor so hard? (Manchester too)
