Predicting Discharge Destination in Older People From Acute General Medical Wards: A Systematic Review of the Psychometric Properties of 23 Assessment Tools.

Background: Predicting discharge in older people from general medicine wards is challenging. It requires consideration of function, mobility, and cognitive levels, which vary within the cohort and may fluctuate over a short period. A previous systematic review identified 23 assessment tools associated with discharge destination in this cohort; however, the psychometric properties of these tools have not been explored.

Models of intensive care unit follow-up care and feasibility of intervention delivery: A systematic review.

Background: The optimal model of outpatient intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up care remains uncertain, and there is limited evidence of benefit.

Research Question: The objective of this research is to describe existing models of outpatient ICU follow-up care, quantify participant recruitment and retention, and describe facilitators of patient engagement.

Study Design & Methods: A systematic search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was undertaken in June 2021.

Assessment tools and factors used to predict discharge from acute general medical wards: a systematic review.

Purpose: To identify assessment tools and patient factors statistically associated with discharge destination in general medical inpatients.

Materials And Method: A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. Four electronic databases were searched.
