Cumulative Prognostic Score Predicting Mortality in Patients Older Than 80 Years Admitted to the ICU.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To develop a scoring system model that predicts mortality within 30 days of admission of patients older than 80 years admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

A total of 306 ICUs from 24 European countries.

Participants

Older adults admitted to European ICUs (N = 3730; median age = 84 years [interquartile range = 81-87 y]; 51.8% male).

Measurements

Overall, 24 variables available during ICU admission were included as potential predictive variables. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Model sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results

The 30-day-mortality was 1562 (41.9%).
