Abstract

In this retrospective observational study of patients with hypertensive emergency, we did not observe significantly different LOS outcomes between patients admitted to ICU vs IMC settings or detect a signal of harm among those admitted to IMC. Intermediate care settings may be a reasonable alternative to ICU admission for select patients with hypertensive emergency.
