Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) is prevalent among elderly patients in the ICU and significantly affects patient prognosis. Due to the symptom similarity with other neurological disorders and the absence of specific biomarkers, early clinical diagnosis remains challenging. This study aimed to develop a predictive model for SAE in elderly ICU patients.
