Thanks Karin, I understand the pragmatic reasons behind it, but personally I'm uncomfortable with using ICU admission time unless you can be certain there are never any delays in recognition, referral and ICU admission for ward-based patients.
In the UK, this is far from the case and I would urge organizations *not*to measure only the performance of their ED and ITU (if there is no reliable temporal relationship between ward-based onset and ICU admission, this will ultimately have the effect of demonstrating non-efficacy of EGDT anyway).
