Functional impairment and serum albumin predict in-hospital mortality in nonagenarians with acute infection: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Acute infection leads to substantial mortality in the nonagenarian population. However, the predictive efficacies of functional status and biochemical indexes for in-hospital mortality in these patients remain to be determined. Methods A single-center, retrospective cohort study...
