Abstract: Sepsis is a major health threat in the elderly, with high morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests an “obesity paradox,” where higher body mass index (BMI) may improve survival. However, the association between BMI and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12879-025-12031-w
Abstract: Sepsis mortality remains elevated among elderly populations, yet existing risk stratification tools demonstrate suboptimal predictive accuracy. We explored whether incorporating metabolic parameters into the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score could enhance prognostic discrimination in… read more here.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The elderly population is unique and the prognostic scoring systems developed for the adult population need to be validated. We evaluated the predictive value of frequently used scoring systems on mortality in critically ill… read more here.
