Frailty check and blood tests may forecast ICU death risk in seniors
NCT ID NCT07279519
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 393 older adults (65+) who went to the intensive care unit after surgery. Researchers checked their frailty level, ability to do daily tasks, and routine blood tests when they arrived. The goal was to see if these simple measures could predict who might die in the ICU. No new treatment was tested—just observation to improve risk prediction.
