摘要
由于老化和多病、共病的存在，使得老年患者器官的储备能力下降，疾病复杂性增加，容易发生感染、营养不良、药物不良反应及器官功能损害，导致并发症及多器官功能障碍的发生率升高，病死率增加。因此，充分认识老年患者疾病的复杂性，积极采取应对措施，对改善老年危重患者的预后非常重要。
Because of aging, multimorbidity and comobidities, the organ function reserve declines in elderly critically ill patients who are predisposed to infection, malnutrition, adverse drug reaction and organ injury. It results in very complex situation. Elderly critically ill patients suffer more complications, high incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and increased mortality. Clinicians should attach importance to the disease complexity for elderly critically ill patients and take effective measures to improve their coutcome.
