The elderly havemore complicated problems, at a high risk for mortality and morbidity, and they usually need more holistic interventions that take into consideration the psychosocial andbiologicalhealth components.

It is concluded that majority of patients admitted at the ICU of admitted at FEU-NRMF Medical Center were 65 to 69 years of age, male, with initial GCS of 12-15, with cardiovascular disease.
