PROSAFE project
Preface
The tenth year of the Margherita project coincided with a radical change. Thanks to funding from the European Union
(DG SANCO contract No. 2007331), the project crossed the Italian borders to become PROSAFE and is now shared
by intensive care units in Cyprus, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, and Switzerland, not to mention the involvement of
the units of the non-government organization EMERGENCY, in Afghanistan and Sudan.
However, PROSAFE cannot be considered the mere extension of the existing project. The Margherita project has
instead been entirely overhauled: from the case report form to the data collection software, from the statistical
analyses to the yearly reports. Such important changes have also caused some problems and discontent, resulting in
the decline, for the first time in ten years, in the number of Italian ICUs, from 238 to 210 participants, partly offset by
15 new non-Italian centers. Despite these numbers, however, we must consider PROSAFE to be a complete success,
far beyond all expectations.
The work behind these pages has continued for over three years and involved all the European centres in a
partnership that has proven extremely fruitful and enjoyable, and has produced solid friendships. This very element
has contributed important added value to the project. Indeed, only when you build relationships based on genuine
collaboration can you achieve results that exceed the sum of individual expertise.
Many tools have been developed to handle the PROSAFE project: the main software, the translation manager, the
registration tool, the technical assistance program, the website, the data analyzer, the report generator, etc. All are
extremely complex and advanced and have clearly required extraordinary commitment. They still have to be updated
and improved, but they mark the achievement of an important milestone and the best investment for the future of the
project.
This report opens a new course for the evaluation and improvement of quality of care in intensive care medicine.
It may be more challenging than before, but judging from the international arena being created and the ideas and
prospects being generated, it will undoubtedly be even more exciting and beneficial.

PROSAFE project
The project
The PROSAFE project was conceived as an observational project for the continuous electronic collection of data on
patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). The objectives of the project are to:
• standardize the procedures for collecting data on admitted patients;
• analyse the activity carried out in terms of both clinical results achieved and resources used;
• gather information on the collected case series for research and/or routine clinical management purposes;
• promote comparison among ICUs, on the basis of detailed epidemiological research work, with a view to improving
the quality of the care provided.
In addition to these general objectives, the PROSAFE project provides a tool that serves as the operating base for
all research projects undertaken by the individual ICUs, both under the umbrella of the GiViTI group and at local
level. The PROSAFE program, by virtue of its modular structure, is designed to smoothly integrate the collection of
basic data (the PROSAFE ’core’) with the collection of specific data for research projects focused on various different
topics (the PROSAFE ’petals’).
The Petals functioning in 2011 in Italy were:
• the Infections Surveillance Petal, designed to describe the epidemiology of infections in ICUs in Italy, focusing
specifically on the identification and study of the main risk and prognostic factors for infections, with a view to
comparing the various ICUs in terms of incidence of infections and their severity, prevalent bacterial flora and
multiresistant germs;
• the Cardiosurgical Petal, whose aim is to describe in detail the characteristics of patients admitted to the ICU and
subject to one or more cardiosurgical procedures;
• the Crimyne 2 Petal, designed to assess the accuracy (in terms of sensitivity and specificity), in the diagnosis of
CRIMYNE (CRitical Ilness MYopathy and NEuropathy), of the simplified peroneal CMAP test, using the complete
ENG-EMG test as the diagnostic gold standard;
• the StART Petal, whose objective is to assess the appropriateness of ICU bed utilization by comparing the level of
care required by admitted patients with the level of care that can be provided using available resources.
The information currently collected in the program ’core’ refers to personal patient data, information on origin, reason
for admission and whatever else GiViTI has, over the years, determined to be needed to best describe patients
admitted to intensive care.
Data collection
The PROSAFE software is distributed free of charge to all ICUs taking part in the project. To date, 355 ICUs have
joined the project: 313 Italian and 42 foreign ICUs. 290 ICUs collected data during 2011 for a total of 88578 patients
registered in PROSAFE. Only the ICUs that collected valid data (225) for a period of over 4 months were included in
the aggregate analyses. On the whole, therefore, the assessment was based on a total of 73163 patients admitted to
intensive care during 2011.
The reports
The Coordinating Centre (GiViTI) produces the following reports (only for subgroups composed of at least 5 ICUs):
7
PROSAFE project
1. The (Italian and Hungarian) national report on the general (medical/surgical) ICUs. This first report includes the
logistic regression model to assess performance in the various ICUs taking part in the project. The statistics for
the most representative regions can be downloaded from the GiViTI website (www.giviti.marionegri.it).
2. The (Italian) national report on the surgical ICUs.
3. The (Italian) national report on the neurosurgical ICUs.
4. The personalized report for each individual centre, in Italian or English, which has different sections according to
type of ICU and a similar structure to the national report, is designed to foster precise but user-friendly interpretation
of the various values for predicting hospital mortality.
All reports (except for the personalized reports, sent to the project Contact person and the Director of the ICU) can
be downloaded from the PROSAFE Project section of the GiViTI website (www.giviti.marionegri.it). An analysis
application form is available on the GiViTI website to obtain a report on particular subgroups of patients in which
each unit may be interested.
Description of the statistics
Project participation and location of Italian partecipating ICUs
The table on page 17 summarizes the participation in the project of the 225 ICUs which collected valid data in 2011
for a period of at least 4 months.
The map on page 19 shows the geographical location of the ICUs assessed in the report.
Description of the hospitals and ICUs
This section presents the organizational-structural features of the ICUs included in the report. The information (except
for the information shown in the grey box, which is the result of joint analysis of data reported at the time of registration
and those collected during the year via the software) is taken from the PROSAFE project registration forms. Absolute
numbers, percentages and the number of missing data are reported for the categorical variables; the mean, standard
deviation, median and Q1 (first quartile: the value below which lie 25% of the population) and Q3 (third quartile: the
value below which lie 75% of the population) serve as indicators for the continuous variables. Data on the number of
staffed beds, total admissions in 2011 and ICU stay days were used to calculate indicators of utilization, i.e. indicators
able to measure utilization levels and healthcare facility activity levels.
The bed occupation rate expresses bed occupancy as a percentage value, by dividing total ICU stay days recorded
at a given time by the total number of days in the period in question multiplied by the number of staffed beds. The
product corresponds to the ICU’s total availability for admissions (daily number of available beds); the closer total
ICU stay days are to total availability, the more the occupation rate tends towards 100%. Occupation rate can even
exceed 100% when a new patient is admitted to a bed that became vacant on the same day.
Occupation rate =ICU stay days
Days×Number of beds(1)
The rotation index expresses the mean number of patients ’staying’ in a bed in one year. It is calculated by dividing
8
PROSAFE project
the number of admissions by the number of beds. Data collected for less than one year have to be extrapolated.
Rotation index =Number of patients
Number of beds(2)
The turnover interval expresses the period of time in which a bed remains vacant between two consecutive patients.
It is calculated by dividing the number of days with vacant beds by the number of patients admitted during the period
in question, giving mean unoccupied time per bed. It is calculated by dividing the number of days with unoccupied
beds by the number of patients admitted in the period in question. This gives the mean unoccupied time per bed.
This indicator is expressed in hours.
Turnover = 24× (Number of beds×Days)− ICU stay days
Number of patients(3)
Study flow-chart
The flow chart, or tree diagram, on page 23 presents the various subgroups of analysed patients. PROSAFE has a
very accurate indicator of the completeness and validity of the data entered on each patient, i.e. status.
The program envisages 5 status levels:
• status 1 - the patient record presents errors or unsolved warnings;
• status 2 - the record is incomplete, there are still missing data;
• status 3 - the patient has been discharged from the ICU, the clinical data are all entered and have undergone
congruency checks; only hospital outcome is missing;
• status 4 - record complete and free of errors;
• status 5 - record free of errors but incomplete; the missing data are irretrievable.
Patients with status 1, 2 and 5 data are clearly incomplete.
It would be wrong to omit only patients with incomplete data (in status 1, 2 and 5) from the analyses since this could
skew the estimates because of a so-called ’selection bias’. Patients with incomplete data may instead represent
a special population subgroup. If only these patients were omitted from the analysed group, the statistics would
no longer represent the whole group. It is plausible to assume, for example, that the majority of the patients for
whom hospital outcome is missing were discharged alive from hospital, since it is much easier and quicker to retrieve
information on hospital outcome when a patient has died. Calculating statistics on hospital mortality in the whole
group of patients would result in mortality being incorrectly overestimated.
To address this problem it was decided to omit from each individual ICU’s data any patients recruited during months
when the validity percentages were below a high threshold (90%). Another check performed to reduce the risk of
selection bias is to analyse the number of patients admitted per month. If the number of patients admitted in one
or more months differs significantly from the mean number of monthly admissions (with a threshold arbitrarily set
at a mean of +/- 2 trimmed SD), or if the variability in the number of admissions is too high (variation coefficient
above 40%), a warning message will appear asking for the entered data to be checked. To correctly participate in the
PROSAFE project, all patients consecutively admitted to the ICU must be registered in the software on a continuous
basis throughout the year; any marked swings in the number of admissions should suggest that there may be patient
registration ’gaps’. It is, however, impossible to distinguish between registration ’gaps’ and periods in which there is a
real reduction/increase in admissions. Hence our objective is to draw attention to potential problems by asking each
individual centre for feedback.

PROSAFE project
To more clearly illustrate the selection methods used in the choice of valid data, we present an extract from the data
validity report of a randomly selected, anonymized ICU.
From January to December, Centre XX000 recruits a total of 269 patients. The first table and the bar graph show the
number of monthly admissions to intensive care. In this case, a warning will appear at the bottom of the bar graph
asking for confirmation of the entered data.
The second table divides the recruited patients by admission month and form completion status. Overall, the ICU in
question presents complete data for the majority of recruited patients. Only 7 patients still present incomplete data.
The final graph shows level of data completeness in the various months.
According to our elimination criterion, the overall analysis of hospital mortality will exclude those patients admitted in
the month of May since they present a validity percentage below 90% (in that month, information on hospital outcome
was still missing for 3 out of 24 patients). Accordingly, 245 patients have valid data for this type of analysis (after
subtracting the 24 patients admitted in the month of May from the total of 269 patients).

PROSAFE project
Description of patients
These sections of the report present the results of the analyses conducted on the group of patients with valid data.
Patients admitted in the months with less than 90% admissions in statuses 3 and 4 are omitted from the analysis
group. This part presents patient characteristics at ICU admission and during ICU stay, severity scores, process
indicators, and outcomes for the various patient subgroups.
Absolute number, percentage and number of missing data are reported for the categorical data, while mean, standard
deviation, median, interquartile range (Q1-Q3) and minimum and maximum range are reported for continuous
variables. The acronym 95% CI indicates the 95% confidence interval of the estimate.
Below are a few tips on how to correctly interpret the analyses.
BMI The calculation of Body Mass Index is based on weight and height values, with the following formula:
BMI =weight (kg)
height (m)2(4)
The categories of underweight, overweight and obese are determined according to the following criteria: underweight if
BMI<20 (males) or BMI<19 (females); normal weight if 20<=BMI<=25 (males) or 19<=BMI<=24 (females); overweight
if 25<BMI<=30 (males) or 24<BMI<=29 (females); obese if BMI>30 (males) or BMI>29 (females).
Stay before ICU Days spent between admission to hospital and admission to ICU.
Reason for transfer from other ICU The reported items refer to the following reasons:
• Specialist expertise -> specialist expertise within the hospital;
• Step-up care -> management of high complexity critical patient;
• Logistical/organizational reasons -> continuation of treatment in stabilized patient (transfer for logistic/ organizational
reasons);
• Step-down care-> continuation of treatment in a non-specialist environment.
Surgical interventions on admission (top 10) This lists the top 10 surgical interventions, divided by elective surgery
and emergency surgery patients, operated between 7 days prior to and one day after admission to the ICU.
11
PROSAFE project
Multiple trauma The category multiple trauma is defined by the presence of trauma in two or more regions.
SAPSII The score cannot be calculated if GCS (first 24 hours) is unassessable.
The SAPSII score for individual patients can become the probability of dying in hospital. This is performed by the
following formula:
Predicted hospital mortality =eLogit
1 + eLogit(5)
where
Logit = −7.763 + 0.074× SAPSII + 0.997× ln (SAPSII + 1) (6)
PELOD The PELOD score for individual pediatric patients can become the probability of dying in ICU. This is
performed by the following formula:
Predicted ICU mortality =1
1 + e7.64−0.30×PELOD(7)
Severity evolution (of infections) The severity of infection on admission is shown in the rows. Maximum severity
reached during ICU stay is indicated in the columns. The table reports the absolute numbers and row percentages by
which to assess the evolution of infection severity. For example, in the case below, the severity of the infection did not
worsen during ICU stay in 15 out of the 17 patients admitted with SEVERE SEPSIS (15/17=88.2%). Conversely, the
condition of SEVERE SEPSIS developed into SEPTIC SHOCK in 2 patients (2/17=11.8%).
VAP Forms of pneumonia associated with invasive ventilation are defined as VAP (pneumonia onsetting after the 2nd
day of ventilation or developing within 2 days of the end of ventilation).
Incidence of VAP Two different incidence rates are presented:
Incidence of VAP =Number of patients with VAP during stay
Mechanical ventilation days pre VAP× 1000 (8)
where the variable mechanical ventilation days pre-VAP corresponds to the total number of mechanical ventilation
days pre-VAP of all patients admitted to the ICU. It is equal to the total duration of mechanical ventilation for patients
who do not develop VAP and to the difference between the date of onset of VAP and the start date of mechanical
ventilation for infected patients. The mechanical ventilation days in patients who were discharged or died within 2
12
PROSAFE project
days of the start of ventilation are excluded from the denominator.
Incidence of VAP =Number of patients with VAP during stay
(Mechanical ventilation days pre VAP)/8× 100 (9)
The second rate is only a reworking of the previous one, to simplify interpretation of the data. It answers the question:
’Out of 100 patients ventilated for 8 days in the ICU, how many develop VAP?’. The 8-day cut off has been set by
convention. The rates are accompanied by 95% confidence intervals.
Incidence of CR-BSI Just like VAP, two incidence rates are presented for catheter-related blood stream infections:
Incidence of CRBSI =Number of patients with CRBSI during stay
CVC days pre CRBSI× 1000 (10)
Incidence of CRBSI =Number of patients with CRBSI during stay
(CVC days pre CRBSI)/12× 100 (11)
The second one responds to the question ’Out of 100 theoretical patients catheterized for 12 days in the ICU, how
many will develop catheter-related blood stream infections?’.
Invasive ventilation (approach) The reported items refer to the following scenarios:
• Due to pulmonary failure -> invasive ventilation in a patient with hypoxic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure;
• For airway mainteinance -> invasive ventilation in a patient without respiratory failure, to support airways (e.g. coma
patient);
• In weaning -> final part of invasive ventilation in a patient admitted for weaning from ventilation.
Non invasive ventilation (approach) The reported items refer to the following scenarios:
• Non invasive ventilation only -> non-invasive ventilation as the only ventilatory approach to the patient;
• Non invasive ventilation failed -> non-invasive ventilation immediately followed by patient intubation;
• For weaning -> non-invasive ventilation started within one day of the end of invasive ventilation.
Surgical interventions during stay (top 10) The surgical interventions performed from the second day of stay.
Reason of transfer to other ICU See the item ’Reason of transfer from other ICU’.
Hospital mortality Statistics on hospital outcome (indicated with an asterisk, where necessary) involve the subgroup
of patients with valid data for this variable or patients admitted during the months when over 90% of patients were in
status 4, after excluding readmissions from another hospital ward.
Readmissions Only readmissions from other hospital wards are considered.
ICU stay (days) Length of pre-ICU, post-ICU and hospital stay are simply calculated as the difference between
dates. Calculation of ICU stay can be optimized by using time of patient admission and discharge. The difference
between the discharge date and the admission date is calculated. 1 is added if the patient is admitted before 12:00
13
PROSAFE project
and discharged after this time. Conversely, 1 is subtracted if the patient is admitted after midday and discharged
before midday. If the length of stay in the ICU is equal to 0, length of stay is entered as 1.
Analysis of mortality: forest plot The graph shows the various O/E scores of the ICUs involved in the project. The
O/E score is given by the ratio between the total number of expected deaths (according to the indicated reference
model) and the total number of observed deaths. The dotted line, in correspondence to the value of 1, separates the
ICUs with lower or higher mortality than predicted by the model. Each estimate is accompanied by a 95% confidence
interval.

National report for general ICUs - Year 2011Validity of the models - Calibration belts
The calibration belt is designed to compare actually observed mortality with expected mortality according to a given
prediction model. Expected mortality is plotted on the x axis while observed mortality is plotted on the y-axis. Two
overlapping belts are presented in each graph: the first, in light grey, with a confidence level of 80%, and the second,
in dark grey, with a confidence level of 95%. The belt lying above the bisector indicates that observed mortality
is higher than expected mortality; vice versa, the belt lying below the bisector indicates that observed mortality is
lower than expected mortality. The belt is plotted in the range of expected mortality values actually present in the
sample under study. The higher the polynomial, the more complex the relationship between expected and observed
mortality. A significant Wald test (p<0.05) indicates that the belt with a confidence level of 95% does not fully include
the bisector.
These pages show the calibration belts for the SAPSII, PELOD, and GiViTI prognostic models for 2011. The latter
are reported for both the overall population and the subgroups presented in the report, according to length of stay of
more or less than 24 hours.
These belts serve as a representation of the validity of the models used to evaluate the performance of each ICU.
A model is well calibrated, and thus a useful tool for evaluating individual departments, when the bisector is fully
included in the belt. Only when this occurs can a deviation from the bisector be attributed to local factors and not to
poor calibration of the model. Poor calibration is clearly visible for SAPSII and PELOD and, accordingly, these should
be used with caution to assess the performance of individual ICUs.
