[SEGA frailty scale in emergency: back to basics].

Can the SEGA scale, implemented in the emergency department, effectively predict morbidity and mortality? A prospective study was conducted from January 30, 2018, to July 16, 2018, at the Emergency Department of Chaumont Hospital. Patients aged over 65 were included, while those under 65, in palliative care, or in a life-threatening emergency were excluded. The SEGAm score was calculated for each included patient, and their outcomes were assessed at the end of the emergency department visit and one year later.

Assessing the Efficacy of the Modified SEGA Frailty (mSEGA) Screening Tool in Predicting 12-Month Morbidity and Mortality among Elderly Emergency Department Visitors.

Introduction: Rapid identification of frail elderly individuals upon admission to the emergency department is pivotal for enhancing their care and alleviating emergency room congestion.

Objective: This pilot study aims to explore the relationship between morbidity, mortality, and frailty, as assessed by the mSEGA scale, among individuals aged 65 years or older in the emergency department.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single center.
