6. Coronavirus: One in four intensive care patients did not survive


Almost one in four of all patients suffering from the coronavirus infection and taken into intensive care (ICU) died in hospital, according to an informal survey carried out by De Standaard.

The newspaper called nine Flemish hospitals, including the hospital of the Free University of Brussels, (VUB), to find out the rate of fatalities among ICU patients. The intention was to compare Belgium’s figures against a report that in China, 97% of ICU patients did not survive, and half of all ICU patients in the United Kingdom.

From the responses – which are admittedly partial – it appears that 23% of ICU patients died, compared to only 11% of those admitted to hospital but not to ICU
