Multicenter Study Observational Study
Criterios de ingreso en unidades de críticos del paciente anciano con síndrome coronario agudo desde los servicios de urgencias hospitalarios de España. Estudio de cohorte LONGEVO-SCA.
Information on criteria for admitting elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to intensive care units (ICUs) is scarce. We aimed to describe factors associated with ICU admission in unselected older patients with ACS in Spain. ⋯ Around a third of elderly patients with non-ST-segment elevation ACS are admitted to an ICU. Admitted patients have a higher risk profile on arrival and a lower prevalence of geriatric syndromes.
