“…Similar data were observed in another study, where the main organ dysfunctions presented the long-living patients presented upon admission to the ICU were respiratory (86.5%), cardiac (48.7%), neurological (40.1%), renal (28.1%) and infectious (21.7%). (10) The presence and number of comorbidities found was not related to the outcome death, which was also observed in another study conducted in Rio Grande do Norte with elderly people hospitalized in the ICU. (11) In that study, it was observed that comorbidities and chronic diseases were not related to the survival of the elderly in survival studies with less than 30 days of follow-up; the presence of comorbidities was associated with unfavorable outcomes in the hospitalized elderly though when the follow-up was longer than 30 days.…”

“…The occurrence of HAI was significantly associated with admissions for clinical treatment compared to admissions for surgical treatment. The scientific literature shows that the occurrence of HAI has been associated with prolonged stay in ICU, with increased mortality, costs and overload of nursing staff, regardless of age of the patient (15)(16) . One recent study aiming to identify which variables were associated with mortality among clinical and surgical patients admitted to ICU observed among 827 admissions that, despite the patients admitted for clinical medicine presenting more HAI, these infections were independent risk factors for mortality only among patients hospitalized in surgical ICU.…”

“…In the cohort studies, the observed extrinsic RFs were central venous catheter (CVC) placement, 23,25,[50][51][52][53] ICU admission, [54][55][56][57][58] duration of surgery, 13,17,20,24 steroid use, 13,15,59 previous antibiotic use, 55,60 exposure to cephalosporins before the first episode of infection, 58,61 number of administered antibiotics, 53,62 antimicrobial therapy within 90 days, 63 reoperation, 20,64 transfusion, 50,56,64 invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), 50,52,65 hospitalization time, 66,67 and a high score on the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Disease Classification System II. 14,55 Other less frequent extrinsic RFs were found ( Supplementary Table S1).…”
