Risk of unplanned emergency department readmission after an acute-care hospital discharge among geriatric inpatients: results from the geriatric EDEN cohort study
Abstract
The study aims 1) to examine whether items of the brief geriatric assessment (BGA) or their combinations predicted the risk of unplanned emergency department readmission after an acute care hospital discharge among geriatric inpatients, and 2) to determine whether BGA could be used as a prognostic tool for unplanned emergency department readmission.
