Summary

Between 30% and 40% of elderly patients (over 70 years old) who require hospitalization and treatment in Intensive Care Units (ICU) exhibit a state of frailty. This condition is associated with adverse prognostic factors such as increased in-hospital mortality, functional decline, and a deterioration in their long-term quality of life. Some frail elderly patients may require invasive mechanical ventilation (ventilator) as life support during the acute phase, which has also been linked to adverse prognostic outcomes. Additionally, frailty is common in patients with severe infections, with a high mortality rate, subsequent functional decline, and reduced quality of life following ICU admission.
