In 2013, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued the concept of the ventilator-associated events (VAEs) as a quality indicator (QI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). A number of studies have been conducted in the United States and other Western countries to evaluate its practicality. However, information on VAEs in non-Western countries is scarce. The purpose of this preliminary study was to illuminate the incidence and associated mortality rate of VAEs in Japan, as a first step in the effort to determine its practicality.
