“both frail and vulnerable patients had a higher risk for acute brain dysfunction (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.9 [95% CI, 1.5-5.6], and 2.0 [95% CI, 1.0-4.1], respectively) compared with fit patients.”

Acute brain dysfunction is linked with death or severe disability in humans (critically ill older adults admitted to ICU) (12.6%, 95% CI 2.1%-23.1%, P = .02).
“The average proportion of the frailty effect mediated by acute brain dysfunction was estimated to be 12.6% (95% CI, 2.1%-23.1%; P = .02).”

Acute brain dysfunction is linked with a higher risk of death or severe disability in humans (critically ill older adults admitted to ICU) (AOR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4-4.0).
“Both frailty and acute brain dysfunction were independently associated with death or severe disability at 6 months (AOR, 3.3 [95% CI, 1.6-6.5] and 2.4 [95% CI, 1.4 -4.0], respectively).”
