ICU mortality from COVID-19 continued to fall in 2020, but improvement is slowing

The study, published today [2 February] in Anaesthesia (a journal of the Association of Anaesthetists), is by Professor Tim Cook, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine at the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Professor in Bristol Medical School: Translational Health Sciences (THS) at the University of Bristol, and colleagues.
