Routine critical care step-down programmes: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Patients discharged from critical care to general hospital wards are vulnerable to clinical deterioration, critical care readmission, and death. In response, routine critical care stepdown programmes (CCSDPs) have been widely developed, which involve the review of all patients on general wards following discharge from critical care by multidisciplinary Outreach teams with critical care skills. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:This review aims to answer the question: do routine CCSDPs reduce readmission and/or mortality among patients discharged from critical care? DESIGN:Systematic review of quantitative studies and meta-analysis. METHODS:Six databases were comprehensively searched from inception (CENTRAL, Cochrane Reviews, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and web of Science), alongside grey literature and trial registers. Studies investigating the effect of routine CCSDPs delivered by Outreach nurses on readmission and/or mortality following discharge from adult critical care to general hospital wards were included. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane ROBINS-I tool. RESULTS:Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, with data from 6 studies pooled in 3 meta-analyses. Among patients exposed to routine CCSDPs, pooled data estimated a statistically nonsignificant reduction in the risk of readmission to critical care (risk ratio [RR] 0.85; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.66-1.09; P = .19), a statistically significant increase in the risk of readmission to critical care within 72 hours (RR 1.49; 95% CI 1.05-2.12; P = .03), a statistically non-significant reduction in risk of mortality following critical care discharge (RR 0.90; 95% CI 0.75-1.07; P = .22), and no association with mortality within 14 days of discharge. CONCLUSION:This review is unable to definitively conclude whether routine CCSDPs reduce critical care readmission or mortality following critical care discharge. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE:While the synthesized evidence does not suggest a change in policy and practice are warranted, neither does it support routine CCSDPs in the absence of high-quality evidence.
