入选标准

  • A member of the research team will approach the participants and a written informed consent will be obtained from the participants. In case of cognitive impairment, the decision regarding participants’ capacity will be made from their mini mental state examination (MMSE) scores. For this study, we will only approach those patients > 75 yo referred by ED to General Medicnie acute admission with a score of 19 to 24 on the MMSE. An MMSE score of 19-24 indicates mild cognitive impairment, but given the low complexity of this project, patients would still be expected to have capacity and consent for themselves. Patients with MMSE below 19 will be excluded on the basis that they will be unable to provide informed consent for themselves. We will adhere to recommendations from Black et al (9) regarding assessment of verbal, behavioural, and emotional cues expressing comprehension and assent
