“…The mean age of ICU patients has increased in recent years and will further increase with the aging of the general population. In Western countries, the percentage of individuals over 65 years of age represents 18% of the general population, accounting for 45.5% of hospital admissions (21) . Cross mapping is a process of comparing data by using words with identical or similar meanings (8) .…”

Aim: to analyze whether nursing goals formulated for nursing diagnoses can be mapped to nursing outcomes classification and to identify the scales most appropriate to the outcomes mapped. Method: a descriptive study was developed in an intensive care unit. Data collection involved extraction of goals in 44 medical records, content standardization, cross-mapping to the outcomes, identification of appropriated scales and validation. Descriptive analysis and agreement with the cross-mapping process were performed. Results: nursing goals (59) were mapped to (28) different outcomes, with agreement of 83% in the mapping process. All goals were mapped to outcomes, which allows to affirm that these outcomes contemplates the goals elaborated to patient care. Conclusion: these results favor the inclusion of outcomes and scales validated in the planning and evaluation phases of the nursing process of a software in construction. Identificación de metas de enfermería de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos a la Clasificación de Resultados de EnfermeríaObjetivo: analizar si en las metas formuladas desde diagnósticos de enfermería pueden ser identificados resultados y escalas apropiadas a los resultados identificados. Método: estudio descriptivo realizado en unidad de terapia intensiva. La colecta envolvió extracción de las metas registradas en 44 prontuarios, normalización de contenido, identificación de resultados, de las escalas apropiadas y validación. Análisis descriptivo y de concordancia con el proceso de identificación fueron procedidas. Resultados: En las metas de enfermería (59) fueron identificados diferentes resultados (28), con concordancia del 83% en el proceso de identificación. En todas las metas fueron identificados resultados, lo que permite afirmar que ésos contemplan las metas elaboradas para los pacientes atendidos. Conclusión: los hallazgos favorecen la inclusión de resultados y escalas en las etapas de planificación y evaluación en un software con el proceso de enfermería en construcción.

“…Also, there is growing evidence that it is not the age itself that is related to the prognosis but more the different organs' or systems' failure [8,17,19,20]. The survival rate of elderly patients seems lower compared with younger patients, but when they do survive, their quality of life is as good [12,21].…”

Aging implies many biological modifications at molecular, cellular, organic levels as well as of the behavior. Some aspects of these processes and their consequences on health are described. The frailty concept is detailed, and its potential interest explained. We conclude that the measurement of aging phenomenon, including the frailty index, may help us to better assess the true health and the required therapeutics of elderly patients.

Relationships among advance directives, principal diagnoses, and discharge outcomes in critically ill older adults

2012

Significantly fewer in-hospital deaths in addition to higher hospice discharges were observed with any advance directives in community-dwelling, critically ill older adults. The magnitude of these findings was aggregated when their principal diagnoses were a group of diseases with more difficult prognostication (circulatory and respiratory diseases) and more potential for reversibility (infectious diseases). By contrast, the magnitude of these findings was diminished with other principal diagnoses.
