About

Near-Hanging is a catastrophic event that has been merely studied in the literature. We aimed to report the outcomes, and early predictors of hospital survivors in critically ill patients with near-hanging.

Patients admitted to 31 university or university-affiliated participating ICUs in France and Belgium between 1992 and 2014 were studied retrospectively. Hospital survival was the main judgment criterion.
