Perfil clínico del anciano crítico. Pronóstico y factores relacionados con la mortalidad

On comparing the 75 to 79 years old group and the 80 to 90 years old group admitted to this intensive care unit, no statistically significant differences were found in mortality, use of mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy requirements, or use of vasopressors. The admission of patients aged 80 to 90 years old did not imply a worse prognosis when compared to those 75 to 85 years old in this patient sample.
