COVID-19 ICU Patient Outcomes in France, February 2020 to June 2021

February 2020 to June 2021 data from a nationwide cohort of 15,423 critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care units in mainland France. The dataset, created by Antoine Journé and shared under CC-BY-4.0, investigates factors associated with mortality, severe ARDS, ICU-free days, and need for invasive ventilatory support across three pandemic periods and different 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.
• Investigating temporal trends in ICU resource use, such as intubation and ECMO, across different waves of the pandemic.
• Studying sex-based disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among critically ill patients.

Strengths

• Nationwide cohort of 15,423 patients provides a substantial sample size.
• Covers three distinct pandemic periods from February 2020 to June 2021, allowing for temporal analysis.
• Includes detailed outcome measures: mortality, severe ARDS, ICU-free days, and use of invasive respiratory support.
• Analyses are stratified by predefined age groups (<45, 45–64, ≥65 years).

Limitations

• Row count for the underlying data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 32.8 KB file size suggests the provided document is likely a summary or supplementary file, not the full raw dataset.
