No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Rationale: Age is often considered a strong factor that determines the outcomes in critically ill patients. In a resource limited low middle income country (LMIC) like Nepal, the age factor is often considered when making treatment decisions by family especially when considering limiting treatment modalities. Whether or not this consideration of age for outcome prediction is appropriate however is a different discussion especially considering the fact that actual data from Nepalese ICUs are missing.

Study Objective: To find the impact of age on mortality in critically ill patients.

Design: A registry based, retrospective, descriptive study. Sample size: Convenience sampling of all the patients who are admitted to the ICU.

Duration: Retrospective data from the 5-year period between November, 2019 to December, 2024.

Place: Intensive care units (ICUs), Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH).

Interventions: Not applicable Expected results: The study will help determine the mortality of the critically ill adult patients in terms of age.
