In the 2018 Survey of Medical Institutions, the total number of ICU beds per 100,000 population in Japan was 5.4. Of the 339 secondary medical areas in Japan, 199 were excluded because the DPC database covered < 80% of all acute-care beds. The characteristics of the excluded and included patients showed a negligible imbalance in terms of most variables (Supplemental Table 3).

We aimed to evaluate the association between regional critical care capacity and the incidence of IMV for COVID-19 patients in Japan. This population-based cohort study included all Japanese citizens. The data used in this study were obtained from three sources: (i) CRoss Icu Searchable Information System (CRISIS) database; (ii) publicly available databases provided by the Japanese government; and (iii) published data from the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine.
