All patients with laboratory-verified influenza or COVID-19 who are admitted to the ICU should be reported as soon as possible after the start of treatment. Remember to enter the same time for the start of the care episode in the protocol so that it matches the care episode sent to SIR.
All care events must be registered, even if the same patient risks being registered several times, or by several departments, in the event of a readmission or transport. This is partly because the reporting is matched to the reported care case when it arrives at SIR, and then we can see the total care time and, for example, all measures that have been performed. Partly because the portal shows the number of registered care cases, i.e. reflects the reality of the load on the ICU. Double registrations of unique IDs will be deleted by the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
