There were 97 deaths (14.71%). The following factors proved to be significantly associated with in\u2010hospital mortality: old age, low body mass index (BMI) values, low values of albumin, high scores on APACHE II, functional impairment (ADL, IADL), cognitive impairment (SPMSQ), history of cognitive deterioration, history of confinement to bed, and presence of pressure ulcers. Using multivariate analysis, the following variables were independently predictive of in\u2010hospital mortality: lack of independence in ADLs (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001), moderate\u2010to\u2010severe cognitive impairment on SPMSQ (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .001), score on APACHE II (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .002), and low BMI values (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .031).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The prognosis of older patients hospitalized in medical intensive care units depends not only on the acute physiological impairments, but also on a series of preexisting conditions, such as loss of functional independence, severe and moderate cognitive impairment, and low BMI.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1532-5415.2003.51163.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,27]],"date-time":"2004-12-27T03:18:06Z","timestamp":1104117486000},"page":"529-533","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":148,"title":["Predictive Factors of In\u2010Hospital Mortality in Older Patients Admitted to a Medical Intensive Care Unit"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Bo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimiliano","family":"Massaia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvio","family":"Raspo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Bosco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paola","family":"Cena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Molaschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"family":"Ap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"Fabris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","unstructured":"Annuario Statistico Italiano.
