Vincent et al. used the information in the EPIC database to compare and analyze the scale and structure of the 14 ICUs in Europe.

For example, most ICU wards are less than 6 beds, 67% of ICUs have designated ward directors, 72% of ICU wards have 24h daytime doctors; in the UK and southern Europe, ICUs are severely ill and have long hospital stays. .
