Functional Recovery of Elderly Patients Hospitalized in Geriatric and General Medicine Units. The PROgetto DImissioni in GEriatria Study

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the characteristics of patients who regain function during hospitalization and the differences in terms of functional outcomes between patients admitted to geriatric and general medicine units. DESIGN: Multicenter, prospective cohort study. SETTING: Acute care geriatric an...

description OBJECTIVES: To investigate the characteristics of patients who regain function during hospitalization and the differences in terms of functional outcomes between patients admitted to geriatric and general medicine units. DESIGN: Multicenter, prospective cohort study. SETTING: Acute care geriatric and medical wards of five Italian hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: One thousand forty‐eight elderly patients hospitalized for acute medical diseases. MEASUREMENTS: Functional status 2 weeks before hospital admission (baseline), at admission, and at discharge, as measured using the Barthel Index (BI). RESULTS: Geriatric patients were older (P

PARTICIPANTS: One thousand forty‐eight elderly patients hospitalized for acute medical diseases. MEASUREMENTS: Functional status 2 weeks before hospital admission (baseline), at admission, and at discharge, as measured using the Barthel Index (BI). RESULTS: Geriatric patients were older (P&lt;.001) and had lower preadmission functional levels (P&lt;.001) than medical patients. Between baseline and discharge, 43.2% of geriatric and 18.9% of medical patients declined in physical function.

High baseline function (odds ratio (OR)=1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.02–1.04, per point of BI) and greater functional decline before hospitalization (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.94–0.97, per % point of BI decline) were significant predictors of in‐hospital functional improvement; type of hospital ward and age were not.
