结局指标
主要结局
Comparison of episodes of delirium related to the radiological procedure at home and in hospital, using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM)
时间窗: 24 hours after the radiological procedure
Frail patients, especially old ones,often develop delirium or confusion when moved from their usual environment. In home-hospitalized patients with the same risk of developing delirium, according to the Inouye's criteria, we evaluated the onset of a confusional status after X-rays performed at home or in hospital
次要结局
- Evaluation of direct and indirect costs of the radiological procedures performed at home or in hospital(1 year)
- Satisfaction of patients and/or families(within 1 month after the procedure)
