COVID-19 ICU Patient Outcomes in France by Age and Pandemic Period, 2020-2021

Antoine Journé's dataset from 2026 contains clinical data for 15,423 critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units in mainland France. The data covers the first three pandemic periods from February 2020 to June 2021, analyzing factors associated with mortality, severe ARDS, ICU-free days, and need for invasive ventilatory support. The study stratified analyses by patient age groups.

Use Cases

• Modeling mortality risk based on patient age, sex, and pandemic period.
• Analyzing the association between obesity and severe ARDS or need for invasive respiratory support.
• Comparing ICU resource use and patient outcomes across different waves of the pandemic.
• Investigating sex-based disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among critically ill patients.

Strengths

• Nationwide cohort of 15,423 patients from a public health surveillance system.
• Covers three distinct pandemic periods over 17 months (Feb 2020 - Jun 2021).
• Includes analysis of multiple clinical outcomes: mortality, severe ARDS, ICU-free days, and invasive support.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data is stored in a DOCX file (22.0 KB), which may require extraction and structuring for analysis.
