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
Were aged 80 or above. Data was not available for one patient. Of the 207 patients for whom data was available, the mean age was 84.3 years. Data for 23 of these patients was not available to a year. Of the 133 surgical patients, 49(36.8 ) were admitted after elective and 84(63.2 ) after emergency surgery. At one year, 39 of the elective patients were alive and 31 of the emergency patients. Of t
