Research Article: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Cohort Study of Process, Clinical, and Patient-Reported Outcomes

Date Published: 2024-02-07

Abstract:
Older adults are the most frequent users of emergency care, accounting for up to % of all international emergency department (ED) attendances., This demographic shift in healthcare utilization, specifically ED usage, is one factor contributing to the growing problem of ED crowding. An aging population is vulnerable to an increasing accumulation of health deficits, giving rise to clinical conditions of frailty. Caring for older adults living with frailty presenting to the ED is increasingly recognized as a global public health concern and was outlined as a top research priority by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine in a recent Priority Setting Partnership with the James Lind Alliance.
