Abstract

Introduction :
Admission to a Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit (GEMU) can optimise a patient’s chance of functional recovery. The aim of this study was to evaluate several common frailty and functional decline indices on their ability to predict poor GEMU outcomes, both at discharge and at six months.
