Differences in early, intermediate, and long-term mortality among elderly patients admitted to the ICU. Results of a retrospective observational study.

Few studies have investigated both short- and long-term prognostic factors, and the differences between chronic and acute conditions in the very old critically-ill patient. Our study aims to shed light in this field and to provide useful prognostic factors that may support clinical decisions in the management of the elderly.
