An inter-rater validation of the Clinical Frailty Score (CFS) (in a subpopulation) Substudies are planned with regards to the different admission categories, in particular: * trauma * acute respiratory failure * sepsis * combined respiratory and circulatory failure * medical neurological conditions In some of the substudies similar groups from the VIP1 study that uses the same admission categories (except planned admissions) will be merged.

Frailty to be registered by the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), 1-9 point Activity of Daily life (ADL) with Katz ADL form: 0-6 points Cognition to be described by Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) questionaire, 16 questions to be asked the care-givers Co-morbidity by listing the major comorbidity with Yes or No (Yes= 1 point) and with the number of regular drugs prescribed
