Return to Normal: Prioritizing Elective Surgeries With Low Resource Utilization	2020-05-04		.txt	text/plain	761	41	37	We therefore evaluated intensive care unit (ICU) utilization and mechanical ventilation following common elective surgical procedures to (1) determine which procedures are the least resource intensive and (2) which patient populations are less likely to require postoperative ICU admission or ventilation. Multivariable logistic regression models measured the association between patient age/comorbidity burden as measured by Charlson-Deyo index, 3 and the outcomes of ICU admission and ventilation, to validate the perception that younger and healthier patients are less likely to require these resources. Of the 15 elective surgeries evaluated, cardiac procedures were the most resource intensive with 83.9% of patients admitted to the ICU and 27.9% requiring ventilation, followed by abdominal procedures that had an average ICU admission rate of 20.3%. In almost all procedure cohorts, younger patients with a low comorbidity burden were less likely to require ICU admission and/or ventilation.	./cache/cord-253281-95ubt4k1.txt	./txt/cord-253281-95ubt4k1.txt
