Prognostic factors influencing survival in nonagenarian patients admitted to the emergency department: a retrospective study
Nonagenarians admitted to the ED exhibit high comorbidity prevalence and mortality rates. Inflammation and malnutrition biomarkers, particularly the CRP/albumin ratio and total protein, are significant prognostic factors. Tailored management strategies focusing on these parameters could improve outcomes for this high-risk group. Further multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings and develop evidence-based care protocols.
