Patients de 80 ans et plus hospitalisés en réanimation médicale et aux soins continus : étude prospective sur 10 mois

These results confirm that elderly patients admitted to the ICU are autonomous and have few comorbidities reflecting a selection of patients before admission. The survivors still have a good functional status and the majority still live at home. These results encourage the admission of patients aged 80 and over in the ICU.
