Background: Functional dependency may serve as a marker for positive SARC-F screen (Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs and Falls) among older adults at the Emergency Department (ED). We compared functional dependency between SARC-F- (<4) and SARC-F+ (≥4) groups at the ED.
Methods: A secondary analysis of cohorts from two quasi-experimental studies among patients aged ≥65 years old presenting to the ED of a 1,700-bed tertiary hospital.
Background: Effective multicomponent interventions in the community targeted at preventing frailty in at-risk older adults can promote healthy ageing. However, there is a lack of studies exploring the effectiveness of technology-enabled autonomous multi-domain community-based interventions for frailty. We developed a novel end-to-end System for Assessment and Intervention of Frailty (SAIF) with exercise, nutrition, and polypharmacy components.

We evaluated the effectiveness of a multicomponent frailty intervention (MFI) in improving functional outcomes among older persons.
Design: a quasi-experimental study.
Objectives: The EDIFY program was developed to deliver early geriatric specialist interventions at the emergency department (ED) to reduce the number of acute admissions by identifying patients for safe discharge or transfer to low-acuity care settings. We evaluated the effectiveness of EDIFY in reducing potentially avoidable acute admissions.
Design: A quasi-experimental study.
