Developing an electronic surprise question to predict end-of-life prognosis in a prospective cohort study of acute hospital admissions.

Objective: Determining the accuracy of a method calculating the Gold Standards Framework Surprise Question (GSFSQ) equivalent end-of-life prognosis amongst hospital inpatients.

Design: A prospective cohort study with regression calculated 1-year mortality probability. Probability cut points triaged unknown prognosis into the GSFSQ equivalent 'Yes' or 'No' survival categories (> or < 1-year respectively), with subsidiary classification of 'No'.

Digital health and inpatient palliative care: a cohort-controlled study.

Objectives: End of life has unacceptable levels of hospital admission and death. We aimed to determine the association of a novel digital specific system (Proactive Risk-Based and Data-Driven Assessment of Patients at the End of Life, PRADA) to modify such events.

Methods: A cohort-controlled study of those discharged alive, who died within 90 days of discharge, comparing PRADA (n=114) with standard care (n=3730).
