Characteristics and outcomes of diabetes emergencies in nonagenarians admitted to ICU: a binational retrospective cohort study
Our findings suggest favourable outcomes can be achieved in suitable nonagenarians with reversible endocrine emergencies through ICU admission. We provide the first detailed description of this cohort, where future functional outcomes and quality of life assessment post-ICU admission could further inform triage decision-making.
