Is frailty associated with increased risk of adverse events, morbidity, and mortality in critically ill adults aged 50 and older?
Is frailty associated with increased risk of adverse events, morbidity, and mortality in critically ill adults aged 50 and older?
Frailty is common among critically ill older adults and serves as a prognostic marker for increased morbidity and mortality.
Frailty was common among critically ill adults aged 50 and older and identified a population at increased risk of adverse events, morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of frailty could improve prognostication and identify a vulnerable population that might benefit from follow-up and intervention.
