Long-term, patient-centered, frailty-based outcomes of older critical illness survivors from the emergency department: a post hoc analysis of the LIFE Study

Table 2 Factors associated with the EQ-5D-5L and Barthel Index scores at six months post-ICU admission

Variables	β coefficient (95% CI)	P-value
EQ-5D-5L score at six months
Frailty	-0.15 (-0.23 to -0.07)	< 0.001
APACHE2 score	-0.005 (-0.01 to -0.002)	0.039
EQ-5D-5L score before admission	0.14 (0.02 to 0.26)	0.016
Length of ICU stay	-0.004 (− 0.009 to -0.001)	< 0.001
Barthel Index score at six months
Frailty	-12.3 (-23.9 to -0.80)	0.036
Barthel Index score before admission	0.54 (0.30 to 0.79)	< 0.001

Variables included in the regression analysis for the outcomes were age, gender, body mass index, Charlson Comorbidity Index score, ICU admission category, ICU admission type, APACHE2 score, maximum lactate levels, presence of acute kidney injury, sepsis, length of ICU stay, frailty (based on Clinical Frailty Scale score ≥ 4), and either EQ-5D-5L or Barthel Index score. Only statistically significant variables are shown in the table
