Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how preadmission functional status affects the survival and recovery of elderly patients (aged ≥80) after receiving care in an ICU.
- It involved 96 patients and found that factors like type of admission, cancer presence, SOFA Score, and septic complications significantly predicted one-year mortality, while preadmission functional status did not.
- Despite 50% of survivors experiencing functional decline, a large majority (82.6%) expressed willingness for another ICU stay.
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare form of non-Langerhans histiocytosis, with noncodified therapeutic management and high mortality. No treatment has yet been shown to improve survival in these patients. We conducted a multicenter prospective observational cohort study to assess whether extraskeletal manifestations and interferon-α treatment would influence survival in a large cohort of ECD patients.
