Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility of conducting geriatric assessments within seven days after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) for patients aged 75 and older. It aims to identify the impact of ICU stays on the functional status and quality of life of elderly patients, who are increasingly represented in critical care settings. The study compares outcomes between patients who receive a geriatric assessment and those who do not, focusing on their recovery and overall well-being post-ICU. By understanding these dynamics, the study seeks to improve care strategies for older adults in critical conditions.
