Longer hospital wait before ICU linked to higher death risk in patients over 80

First seen May 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at over 315,000 patients aged 80 and older who were admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Sweden. Researchers wanted to see if spending more time in a regular hospital ward before being moved to the ICU was linked to a higher chance of dying within 30 days. They found that longer waits before ICU were associated with increased risk, but this was an observational study — it did not test any new treatment or intervention.
