A set potential items were developed existing tools relevant literature by panel with geriatric primary expertise. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) administered convenience sample older urgent patients. Further development was statistical analyses this data material final discussions panel....

Sepsis during hospital stay were diagnosed retrospectively, according recommended diagnosis...
Abstract Background Transferring residents from nursing homes (NHs) to emergency care facilities (ECFs) is often questioned as many are terminally ill and have access onsite care. While some NH ECF transfers merit, avoiding other may benefit reduce healthcare system costs provider burden. Despite years of research in this area, differentiating warranted (i.e., appropriate) unwarranted remains challenging. In article, we report consensus on scenarios. Methods A Delphi study was used identify...
Abstract Background Cognitive impairment is common among acutely ill older patients admitted to hospital. The quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) recommended as a tool predict poor outcome in with suspected sepsis, but assesses cognitive function crudely. We aimed study the feasibility of 4 'A's test (4AT), rapid delirium screening tool, performed upon Emergency Department (ED) admission by nurses and doctors inexperienced this characterize aged ≥ 65 years ED sepsis.
