Article Synopsis
- TRADE is a study focused on understanding how transfers and discharges between healthcare settings affect the onset of delirium and cognitive decline in older adults, aiming to create a better intervention for caregiver involvement.
- The research follows a structured two-step approach involving both development and feasibility testing to gather comprehensive data on delirium occurrences and caregivers' roles during patient transitions.
- Conducted in four hospitals in southwest Germany, the study aims to analyze various outcomes, including the incidence of delirium, cognitive function, and the effectiveness of the developed intervention over time.
