About this study
The SAFMA cohort was an ad hoc study formed into the recruitment of the acute care for elders in the geriatric department of Martinique university Hospitals. The inclusion of subjects ran from January 1st 2012 to June 30th 2012. To be eligible, patients had to be 75 or over and hospitalised for acute condition. Each patient was visited by a specialist in geriatrics familiar with the survey procedures. In the course of this interview, patients were informed about the study, prior to signing the consent form. If the clinical status and/or the cognitive status of the patient did not enable informed consent, the interviewer referred to the subject's representative. Follow-up was performed by visits and telephone interview till 36 months.
