General selenium supplementation to intensive care unit (ICU) patients in regions with selenium‐rich soil does not improve outcomes. Still selenium supplementation may reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with low‐serum selenium concentration (S‐Se) in selenium‐poor areas who respond to treatment. The primary aim of this observational study was to investigate S‐Se in a selenium‐deficient region at time of intensive care admission, and in addition to monitor S‐Se during high‐dose selenium supplementation for safety.
