Özet

Introduction: The cost of the intensive care unit for geriatric patients may be high because of their increased incidence of organ failure due to age, the associated need for multiple drug use and the need for supportive treatments. Our study aimed to contribute to the improvement of intensive care unit costs and the development of new care strategies for patients aged over 65 years in the intensive care unit.
