Cochrane reviews
- Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) at CGA wards appears to increase the patient's likelihood of being alive and in their own home at up to 12 months .
- The IQCODE can probably be used to identify older adults in the general hospital setting who are at risk of dementia; it may be useful specifically for ruling out those without evidence of cognitive decline .
Other eEvidence summaries
- Multidimensional preventive home visit programs including an initial clinical examination appear to reduce functional decline among older adults. Home visit programs in general appear to have no significant effect on nursing home admission, functional status or mortality.
