Outcome	Preintervention; (𝑛=630)	Tele-ICU; (𝑛=2193)	Effect estimate	P value
ICU mortality, n, %	50 (7.9)	84 (3.8)	0.46 ( 0.32–0.66)^a	<0.01
Hospital mortality, n, %	56 (8.8)	153 (6.9)	0.76 (0.55–1.0)^a	0.1
ICU length of stay, mean (SD) median [IQR], d	2.7 (4.1) 1.6 (0.9–2.5)	2.2 (3.4) 1.0 (1.0-2.0)	1.16 (1.00–1.40)^b	0.01
Hospital length of stay, mean (SD) median [IQR], d	5.2 (6.1) 3.6 (1.5–6.1)	6.2 (7.4) 4.2 (2.1–2.8)	1.30 (1.25–1.35)^b	0.00
