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.
