“…Nevertheless, these study results reveal that the age factor interferes little in the workload of care delivered to ICU patients, in line with other studies that compare elderly (>60 years) and non elderly patients (>18 and <60 years) (15) and only elderly patients from different age ranges (>60 and <70; >70 and <80; >80) (16) . Moreover, studies that analyzed the influence of different variables (gender, age, LOS, mortality, severity, origin and treatment type) on NAS scores evidenced that age did not interfere in the nursing workload demand, reasserting that therapeutic investments are applied to promote patients' clinical improvement, independently of the age range (12)(13)17) .…”

“…With regard to the characteristics of the total sample, similarity with other studies was found for the following variables: age (12)(13)(14) , gender (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) , origin (15)(16)(17) , antecedents (15)(16)(17) , severity of illness (14,16) and nursing workload upon admission at the ICU (12,(14)(15)17) . Mortality and length of stay (LOS) in ICU greatly varied in literature (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) and were intermediate in this research when compared to findings described in other studies.…”

“…The ages of the participants in this study corroborate with other studies that indicate a predominantly elderly clientele in ICUs (14)(15) . Expectancy of life in Brazil has progressively increased (4,16) and consequently the aging of the population has led to a larger number of hospitalizations of elderly patients in ICUs.…”
