Clinical Trial Summary

Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has been shown to improve outcomes in an inpatient setting; however, there is currently no compelling evidence of benefit for CGA interventions within the Emergency Department (ED). This study aims to explore the clinical and process outcomes of older adults who receive interdisciplinary ED-CGA over a period of six months after their initial ED attendance.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of hospital admission from the ED index attendance. Number of participants who are admitted to hospital following their index ED attendance 6 months
Secondary Incidence of functional decline (including functional decline at discharge from hospital among the cohort admitted from the ED). Functional decline is defined as a net decrease in the number of activities of daily living performed independently as measured by the self-reported Barthel Index. The sum score of all subscales may range from 0-20 points, where 0 indicates the maximum level of dependency and 20 indicates maximum independence. 30 days and 6 months
Secondary Patient satisfaction with the ED index attendance Participants will rate their satisfaction across a number of domains using the 18-item Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. The sum score of all subscales may range from 18 to 90 points, where 18 points is the poorest possible evaluation and 90 points the best. 30-day follow-up
Secondary Number of unscheduled ED re-attendances Number of participants who experienced an unscheduled ED re-attendance following their index attendance 30 days and 6 months
Secondary Number of unscheduled hospital admissions Number of participants who experienced an unscheduled hospital (re)admission following their ED index attendance 30 days and 6 months
Secondary Nursing home admission Number of participants who were admitted to a nursing home or residential care facility following their ED index attendance 30 days and 6 months
Secondary Mortality Number of participants who died following their ED index attendance 30 days and 6 months
Secondary Healthcare utilisation Number and duration of services that participants were in receipt of following ED index attendance e.g. specialist geriatric ambulatory care hub attendances, GP visits, public health nurse visits, home care support, outpatient clinic attendance, health and social care professionals input etc. 30 days and 6 months
