To evaluate and compare the predictive accuracy of fall history, staff clinical judgment, the Care Home Falls Screen (CaHFRiS), and the Fall Risk Classification Algorithm (FRiCA).
To understand how a heart failure diagnosis and admission health instability predict health transitions and outcomes among newly admitted nursing home residents.
To assess the association of pre-morbid functional status [Barthel Index (BI)] and frailty [modified Frailty Index (mFI)] with in-hospital mortality and a risk scoring system developed for COVID-19 in patients ≥75 years diagnosed with COVID-19.
To determine if digital gait biomarkers captured by a wrist-worn device can predict the incidence of depressive episodes in middle-age and older people.
Independent validation of risk scores after hip fracture is uncommon, particularly for evaluation of outcomes other than death. We aimed to assess the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) for prediction of mortality, physical function, length of stay, and postoperative complications.
