Sex-Specific Outcome Disparities in Very Old Patients Admitted to Intensive Car...
Wernly, B; Romano Bruno, R; Kelm, M; Boumendil, A; Morandi, A; Andersen, F; Artigas, A; Finazzi, S; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, LFemale and male very elderly intensive patients (VIPs) might differ in characteristics and outcomes. We aimed to compare female versus male VIPs in a large, multinational collective of VIPs with regards to outcome and predictors of mortality. In total, 7555 patients were included in this analysis, 3973 (53%) male and 3582 (47%) female patients. The primary endpoint was 30-day-mortality. Baseline characteristics...
Sepsis at ICU Admission Does Not Decrease 30-Day Survival in Very Old Patients:...
Ibarz, M; Boumendil, A; Haas, L; Irazabal, M; Flaatten, H; de Lange, D; Morandi, A; Andersen, F; Bertolini, G; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, LBackground: The number of intensive care patients aged ≥ 80 years (Very old Intensive Care Patients; VIPs) is growing. VIPs have high mortality and morbidity and the benefits of ICU admission are frequently questioned. Sepsis incidence has risen in recent years and identification of outcomes is of considerable public importance. We aimed to determine whether VIPs admitted for sepsis had different outcomes than ...
A Comparison of Very Old Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit After Acute V...
Jung, C; Wernly, B; Muessig, J; Kelm, M; Boumendil, A; Morandi, A; Andersen, F; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, LBackground: We aimed to evaluate differences in outcome between patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) after elective versus acute surgery in a multinational cohort of very old patients (≥80 years; VIP). Predictors of mortality, with special emphasis on frailty, were assessed. Methods: In total, 5063 VIPs were included in this analysis, 922 were admitted after elective surgery or intervention, 4141 acut...
Withholding or Withdrawing of Life-Sustaining Therapy in Older Adults (≥ 80 yea...
Guidet, B; Flaatten, H; Boumendil, A; Morandi, A; Andersen, FH; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, L; Fjølner, J; Jung, CPURPOSE: To document and analyse the decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment (LST) in a population of very old patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS: This prospective study included intensive care patients aged ≥ 80 years in 309 ICUs from 21 European countries with 30-day mortality follow-up. RESULTS: LST limitation was identified in 1356/5021 (27.2%) of patients: 15% had a withholding decisi...
The Impact of Frailty on ICU and 30-Day Mortality and the Level of Care in Very...
Flaatten, H; De Lange, DW; Morandi, A; Andersen, FH; Artigas, A; Bertolini, G; Boumendil, A; Cecconi, M; Christensen, S; Faraldi, L; Fjølner, J; Jung, CPURPOSE: Very old critical ill patients are a rapid expanding group in the ICU. Indications for admission, triage criteria and level of care are frequently discussed for such patients. However, most relevant outcome studies in this group frequently find an increased mortality and a reduced quality of life in survivors. The main objective was to study the impact of frailty compared with other variables with rega...
