Principal investigators: Dr. Anja Kwetkat; apl. Prof. Dr. Michael Hartmann
2019-2022
Older people are the most frequent users of emergency services. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) can help identify high-risk older patients at an early stage. The aim is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify and evaluate CGA tools used in the emergency department (ED), analyze their predictive validity for adverse outcomes and recommend tools for this particular situation.
