- Abstract
This study aimed to analyze factors associated with discharge from the elderly in an Intensive Care Unit of a university hospital. A retrospective cohort was performed, the data collected through the Management Application for University Hospitals. Elderly people aged over 60 years, of both sexes were included and data that found discharge or death in less than 24 hours of hospitalization were excluded. Pearson's chi-square test was used for statistical analysis, considering p < 0.05 and the odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval. The research revealed that Education less than or equal to eight years, type of hospitalization being surgical, and length of stay less than or equal to seven days presented higher chances of discharge with statistical significance (p < 0.04; p < 0.001; p < 0.001, respectively). Therefore, Education, type of admission to surgery and length of stay less than or equal to seven days were associated with a better prognosis for the elderly.
