Influence of Age on Critically Ill Patients with Cirrhosis

During ICU stays, old age does not have adverse effects on ICU mortality, ventilator-free days, ICU days, or ICU-free days in cirrhotic patients (either compensated or decompensated cirrhosis). After ICU discharge, age ≥ 75 years is an independent prognostic factor for in-hospital mortality and 6-month mortality in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
