Patients’ characteristics: Main diagnosis, ICU admission, hospital discharge status, and type of ventilation. This figure presents a Sankey diagram illustrating the flow of patients through various clinical stages, including primary diagnosis, ICU admission, hospital discharge status, and type of ventilation. The diagram visually represents the transitions between these stages, with the width of the flows proportional to the number of patients. Starting from the initial main diagnosis categories, the figure shows the subsequent paths leading to ICU admission or non-ICU care, followed by the patient’s discharge status, and finally, the types of ventilation used. This comprehensive visualization aids in understanding the patient journey and the interrelationships between different clinical factors.
