We used the database of discharge from the intensive care units from hospitals in Villavicencio, Colombia. We are designing a retrospective analytical cross-sectional clinical trial. The discharge records from January to December 2024 of one of the intensive care units (ICUs) from the Orinoco region in Colombia will be reviewed. The records will be divided into three groups for comparison: A. Lower than 65 years; B. between 65 and 79 years; C. 80 years and older. The records of patients admitted to the intermediate unit will be excluded. Outcomes to be evaluated will include mortality, length of stay in the ICU, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and duration of IMV. The data will be exported to Excel. The frequency and proportion of categorical variables will be described. The central distribution and dispersion of quantitative variables will also be defined. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests will be used to compare the variables statistically. A value <0.05 of p will be designated as statistical significance.
