It is important to find out how much of the socioeconomic factors´ impact on mortality on ICU patient´s can be explained by the presence of comorbidity.

The first ICU admissions of patients aged 30 years and older, registered in the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR) from 2009 to 2012 were included.
