GiViTI

GiViTI (in Italian “Gruppo italiano per la Valutazione degli interventi in Terapia Intensiva” – “Italian group for the evaluation of interventions in Intensive Care Medicine”) is a spontaneous and independent network of Intensive Care Units of public and private hospitals established in Italy in 1991. In 2002 GiViTI started a continuous data collection on a specifically designed software (“Margherita 2”, within a short time “Margherita International”). The main objective is to provide data in order to improve outcome of ICU patients and contribute to research in intensive care medicine. A steadily increasing number of ICUs participated over years reaching 225 ICUs in 2009 with >70.000 patients. More than half of Italian ICUs contribute today the GiViTI network and in many regions (Tuscany, Lombardy, Piemonte, Campania..) GiViTI is collaborating with the regional health authorities.

Several research projects have been carried out or are ongoing, but the principal effort is the process of continuous quality improvement through the annual report, where a prediction model of hospital mortality is calculated by logistic regression analysis. A personalized report with the same data is also provided to each participating ICU in order to allow benchmarking on the best available basis.
