Predicting unplanned hospitalisations in older adults using routinely recorded general practice data

Reducing the number of predictors and geographic validation did not impact predictive performance, demonstrating the robustness of the model. We developed an easy-to-use tool that may assist general practitioners in decision-making and targeted preventive interventions.PMID:38724188 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0350
