NCT03544957
Brief Summary:
This study tried to describe diagnostic properties of TRST completed by an emergency doctor, for screening process for fragility of elderly subjects admitted at the accident and emergency department.
Detailed Description:
A constant increase of emergencies admission of elderly subjects is registered. The current problem is the identification and early screening of these patients upon admission at the accident and emergency department for early tracking in geriatric network. This early assessment could allow a shorter waiting time, a better orientation of patients and a decrease in the number of re-hospitalization.
There are many screening process for fragility tests but there seem to be nonspecifically. The advantage of TRST is its simplicity and speed of filling.
In 2015, Duc et al. have found that TRST may be a screening instrument for elderly subject and is going to require geriatric mobile team (GMT) for evaluation. Unfortunately, the threshold may be too sensitive and GMT solicitation is too high.
