Completion of the Derivation of a Clinical Decision Rule to Predict Mobility Decline among Independent Seniors with Minor Injuries in the Emergency Department (Phase 1B)
FY 2011-12
Summary
Community-dwelling seniors frequently sustain unintentional injuries that lead to medical evaluation in the Emergency Department. As the majority of these injuries are minor, most seniors are discharged back into the community. However, these seniors could have a significant risk of mobility and functional decline in the subsequent months. This team of clinicians and scientists aims to develop tools in order to help evaluate and optimize the treatment of injured seniors at high-risk of functional decline or mobility loss.

Abstract
Community-dwelling seniors frequently sustain unintentional injuries that lead to medical evaluation in the Emergency Department. As the majority of these injuries are minor, most seniors are discharged back into the community. However, these seniors could have a significant risk of mobility and functional decline in the subsequent months. This team of clinicians and scientists aims to develop tools in order to help evaluate and optimize the treatment of injured seniors at high-risk of functional decline or mobility loss.
