Background: Since becoming a distinct field of medicine, neurosurgery now admits some of the most frequent patients to the intensive care unit. The study's goal was to examine the characteristics of neurosurgical patients admitted to a level III mixed, medical-surgical intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital in Eastern India in order to determine the reasons for these patients' admissions, as well as their outcomes in terms of length of stay in the unit and mortality. Methods: An investigation was carried out in IMS and SUM Hospital, Bhubaneshwar following ethical approval from the institute's Institutional Review Committee. The study covered all patients with neurosurgical issues admitted to the ICU for the 12-month period from January 2021 to December 2021. Results: During the one-year study period, a total of 659 neurosurgical patients were admitted in the ICU. Among them 445 (67.53%) were males and 214 (32.47%) were females. Age wise distribution showed patients aged between 18 and 60 years to be the most common at 476 (72.23%). Sixty (9.10%) patients aged below 18 years, while 123 (18.66%) were aged more than 60 years. It showed that maximum patients had trauma 150(22.76%).
