    Document: Data on the counts and availability of various hospital beds that could be used for critical care were derived from the linkage and harmonization of different datasets for all US counties in the study. Several datasets, including four primary sources of data were used: (1) The various types of hospital beds that could be used for critical care included intensive care unit (ICU) beds, as well as redirected operating room (OR) beds, post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) beds, and step-down beds. Critical care beds from all civilian US general medicalsurgical, pediatric medical-surgical, and long-term acute care (LTAC) hospitals were included. No Veterans Affairs or military medical hospital facilities were included. Counts of ICU bed per hospital were summed as any reported: (a) general medical-surgical ICU beds, (b) surgical ICU beds, (c) coronary ICU beds, (d) burn care ICU beds, (e) pediatric ICU beds, and (f) other ICU beds. Neonatal ICU beds were excluded. Counts of ICU beds were the highest number of ICU beds reported by each US hospital across the four primary sources of data listed above.
