Ly increasing. This audit aimed to look retrospectively at our admissions to Intensive Care, to categorise them into frail or non frail, and evaluate how frailty correlated with ICU length of stay and mortality Methods: A retrospective case note review of all patients admitted to Intensive Care over a six month period in the Victoria Infirmary and then Queen Elizabeth University hospital in Glasgo
Ies show that frailty is associated with increased mortality so it is indeed interesting that this audit has shown no difference between the two groups.References 1. Rockwood, Song, McKnight.

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

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
