Objective To systematically sort out medical quality indicators in intensive care unit(ICU)in China and abroad and conduct comparative analysis,so as to provide reference for the evaluation of ICU medical quality in Chi-na.Methods Policy review and literature review methods were used.Results The development of ICU medical quality indicators included the formulation by relevant organizations or departments and the formulation by researchers themselves.Process indicators and outcome indicators were widely concerned,especially the three major indicators relat-ed to infection rate and mortality.There was difference in the attention paid to structural indicators.The research on ICU quality index was mostly applied research,but lack of evaluation research.Conclusion In order to improve the medi-cal quality of ICU in China,it is necessary to unify the theoretical basis and classification criteria of indicators,broaden the categories of indicators,improve the measurement accuracy,implement index training,establish a dynamic manage-ment mechanism,and optimize the index system regularly.
