Background: The aging global population forecasts a significant rise in severe trauma cases among individuals aged 65 and above. Frailty emerges as a paramount predictor of post-traumatic outcomes, surpassing age and trauma severity indices. Despite this, scant attention is given to the trajectory of elderly patients post-intensive care unit (ICU) stay following severe trauma, justifying this study.

- The study focuses on the rising aging population in France and Western Europe, specifically individuals aged 85 and older, and their mortality risk in trauma centers' ICUs.
- Conducted from 2013 to 2022, the research analyzed 365 severely injured older patients in 14 ICU trauma centers, assessing their frailty and other clinical variables.
- High mortality rates were found, with 43.5% in the ICU and 45.5% at 30 days, linked to factors like traumatic brain injury and severe hemorrhage, highlighting the need for early geriatric interventions to improve patient outcomes.
