Therapeutic management and outcome of nonagenarians versus octogenarians admitted to an intensive care unit for acute coronary syndromes.

CONCLUSIONS: Although overall mortality was higher in patients aged≥90 years compared with those aged<90years with acute coronary syndromes, the overall survival reported here is acceptable. In addition to the effect of age, the difference in prognosis according to age may be explained, in part, by a non-optimal treatment strategy for older patients.
