The length of stay of the frail patient is shorter and this may be because as intensivists we are better at treatment limitation in this group of patients. No difference in overall mortality suggests that the p
Ared the frail population to the non-frail population. Results: Two hundred and eighty four patients were admitted to Intensive Care in this time period. Of those, 102 were over the age of 65 years. Of the 102 patients, 68patients were deemed to be frail, and 34 were deemed to be non-frail using the CFS. Approximately 40 of the patients admitted to Intensive Care are over the age of 65. There wa

Conclusions: Although this data shows better survival for unplanned admissions than previous studies, outcomes are still poor for elderly patients who are admitted to ITU. This should inform discussions with patients and their relatives rel

Analysed the risk factors associated to both ICU and hospital mortality. Results: 299 patients were included (of a total ICU population of 2492 patients in that period). Average age of our patients was 84.43 ?3.55 years. Mean SAPS II was 45.48 ?14.59. Mean length of stay in ICU and in hospital were 5.47 ?7.61 and 18.15 ?15.27 days, respectively. Mortality in ICU has resulted in 18.1 , whilst in t
