NCT ID NCT07621276
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 142 adults in the intensive care unit (ICU) to see if being frail or very sick before admission leads to higher hospital costs. Researchers used medical records to measure frailty and illness severity, then compared them to the total cost of care. The goal was to understand what drives resource use in the ICU.
