<![CDATA[Abstract: Increased number of elderly population is accompanied by a decline in physiological function and multiple comorbidities, therefore, increases their vulnerability to postoperative complications and mortality. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of postoperative mortality in geriatric patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital in Manado from July 2024 to July 2025. This was a descriptive and retrospective study using medical records of 119 geriatric patients who met the inclusion criteria. The variables examined included age, gender, comorbidities, type of surgery, and length of hospital stay. The results showed that the pre-elderly group (60-69 years) was the largest group (50.42%). The gender proportion was relatively balanced, with 50.42% female and 49.58% male. Hypertension (60.50%) was the most common comorbidity, while digestive surgery was the most common type of surgery (36.13%). In addition, the majority of patients had a length of stay ≥7 days (57.98%). In conclusion, pre-elderly patients with multiple comorbidities, especially hypertension, as well as those who underwent digestive surgery and had a longer length of stay, were the most common group found in the mortality population of this study.
