The elderly in the emergency department: a critical review of problems and solutions

TL;DR: The epidemiological load and problems faced when confronted with elder ED patients are analyzed, and Triage, clinical assessment and discharge are identified as critical moments during an emergency care process, and interesting and useful instruments are proposed as possible solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Screening for frailty in elderly emergency department patients by using the identification of seniors at risk (isar)

TL;DR: ISAR is a useful screening tool for frailty and identifies elderly patients at risk of adverse outcomes after an ED visit and can also be used to select high-risk patients more likely to benefit from a geriatric approach or intervention, independently of admission or discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictive validity of the Identification of Seniors At Risk (ISAR) screening tool in elderly patients presenting to two Italian Emergency Departments.

TL;DR: ISAR can be used as a screening test to identify Italian elderly ED patients who have an increased 6-month risk of death, LTC placement, functional decline, ED revisit, or hospitalization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mini Nutritional Assessment (short form) and functional decline in older patients admitted to an acute medical ward.

TL;DR: The MNA-SF is a useful screening tool for hospitalized elders at risk of malnutrition and is able to predict functional decline, together with hypoalbuminemia, which better identifies patients with true protein-energy malnutrition.
