Clinical Trial: ASSESSMENT of FRAILTY AS a PROGNOSTIC FACTOR for MORTALITY, DISABILITY, and QUALITY of LIFE AFTER ICU ADMISSION

U.S., Jan. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06793462) titled 'ASSESSMENT of FRAILTY AS a PROGNOSTIC FACTOR for MORTALITY, DISABILITY, and QUALITY of LIFE AFTER ICU ADMISSION' on Jan. 20.
