Risk Stratification in the Emergency Department in Acutely Ill Older Patients

NCT02946398 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 600

Last updated 2019-07-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Procedures for identification of high-risk elderly patients in the emergency department are lacking.

We aim to identify early risk factors associated with an adverse outcome in elderly patients who visit the emergency department (ED). Second, we aim to find practical tools to identify those elderly patients who are at risk for an adverse outcome in an early stage (by applying and testing triage and risk stratification scores, clinical impression and laboratory results).

With the results of this study, we intend to develop a clinical prediction model to identify older emergency department patients with an increased risk of adverse outcomes.
