Screening Tool Risk Score Assessment in the Emergency Department for Geriatric (S-TRIAGE) in 28-day mortality

ConclusionThis study showed malignancy, hypotension, increased SI, and mental status change were predictive factors for 28-day mortality in older adults in the ED. The screening tool risk score for geriatrics used in this study is potentially a good predictor of mortality and lifesaving intervention in high-risk older patients in the ED.
