Outcome
Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Comparison of episodes of delirium related to the radiological procedure at home and in hospital, using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) Frail patients, especially old ones,often develop delirium or confusion when moved from their usual environment. In home-hospitalized patients with the same risk of developing delirium, according to the Inouye's criteria, we evaluated the onset of a confusional status after X-rays performed at home or in hospital 24 hours after the radiological procedure No
Secondary Evaluation of direct and indirect costs of the radiological procedures performed at home or in hospital Evaluation of costs includes: costs for transportation, ambulance, equipment (eg, processing costs), materials (eg, CD), technical staff (eg, radiographers, radiologists); for the control group: costs for working time employed by family members and health staff to bring patients to hospital for X.ray examination 1 year No
Secondary Satisfaction of patients and/or families Customer satisfaction is evaluated using an ad hoc questionnaire within 1 month after the procedure No
