To determine the prevalence of frailty in Emergency Departments (EDs); examine ability to predict poor outcomes post-discharge; and identify most appropriate instrument for routine ED use. In this prospective study we simultaneously assessed adults 65+yrs admitted and/or spent one night using Fried, Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), SUHB (Stable, Unstable, Help walk, Bedbound) scales four Australian EDs rapid recognition between June 2015 March 2016. 899 with complete follow-up data (mean (SD)...
Characteristics of bone surfaces are discussed in relation to the uptake bone-seeking isotopes. The alkaline earths concentrated behind osteoid border active surfaces. Yttrium, americium, and plutonium on quiescent resorbing surfaces; traces only occur beneath border. In view evidence mucoproteins at sites where latter elements found concentration, a separation cortical was undertaken. Mucosubstances have been isolated which give same reaction with certain reagents as question. One these,...

Frailty is a prevalent condition in older adults. Identification of frailty using an electronic Index (eFI) has been successfully implemented across general practices the United Kingdom. However, Australia, eFI remains understudied. Therefore, we aimed to (i) examine feasibility deriving from Australian practice records and (ii) describe prevalence as measured by with socioeconomic status geographic remoteness.This retrospective analysis included patients (≥70 years) attending any one >700...
