Abstract
Octogenarians with prolonged intensive care unit length of stay have acceptable functional survival at 1Â year but have high rates of early rehospitalization. Access to health services may influence functional survival and early rehospitalizations. These data suggest that close follow-up of these vulnerable patients after hospital discharge is warranted.
