The primary objective of this retrospective multicenter study is to evaluate the impact of changes in analgesia and sedation strategies associated with the fentanyl supply shortage on 28-day ventilator-free days among critically ill adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit. Using the One ICU database, changes before and after the supply shortage will be compared across institutions and assessed using a difference-in-differences approach.
Others
To characterize changes in analgesia and sedation strategies before and after the fentanyl supply shortage, including the selection, dosage, and combination of analgesic and sedative agents in mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients.

| Not applicable |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Adult patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to the ICU at participating institutions between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2025, received invasive mechanical ventilation, and had the required data available in the One ICU database.
Patients younger than 18 years
Patients who did not receive invasive mechanical ventilation during their ICU stay
Patients with missing data for the primary outcome or key covariates required for the analysis
Duplicate records from the same hospitalization (only the first ICU admission will be included)

This is a multicenter retrospective observational study using the OneICU database. Adult patients admitted to participating ICUs between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2025 who received invasive mechanical ventilation will be included. We will evaluate changes in analgesic and sedative use before and after the fentanyl supply restriction and investigate the association between the fentanyl supply restriction and clinical outcomes, including 28-day ventilator-free days. Changes in the use of alternative analgesic agents and analgosedation strategies will also be evaluated. No additional intervention, examination, or specimen collection will be performed, and only routinely collected clinical data will be analyzed.
