Abstract：Objective To explore the incidence and independent influencing factors of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients.Methods From October 2023 to May 2024,a convenience sampling method was used to select 545 elder-ly ICU patients from the Affiliated Changsha Central Hospital of University of South China as the study subjects.Data were collected using a general information survey,Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ),ICU De-lirium Screening Checklist,Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire,Geriatric Depression Scale(short version),and So-cial Support Rating Scale.Univariate analysis and correlation analysis were used to screen the influencing factors of cogni-tive frailty in elderly ICU patients,and binary logistic regression was used to explore the independent influencing factors of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients.Results The incidence of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients was 39.6%.Logistic regression analysis showed that age,APACHE Ⅱ score,depression,frequency of delirium,invasive ventilation time,social support,and early mobilization were independent influencing factors for the occurrence of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients(all P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients is high.Age,severity of illness,depression,frequency of delirium,invasive ventilation time,social support level,and early mobiliza-tion affect the development of cognitive frailty.Monitoring and intervention targeting these factors should be strengthened to reduce the risk of cognitive frailty in elderly ICU patients.
