Summary

This study will look back at records of 1,000 adults discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU) to see how age affects their outcomes. Researchers will compare three age groups: under 65, 65-79, and 80 or older. They will track who dies, who needs a breathing machine, and how long people stay in the ICU. The goal is to better understand the challenges faced by elderly ICU patients.
