Study of the Preventable Passage of Patients Over 75 Years of Age to the Emergency Room of the CHRU of Nancy
The adult emergency service of the Nancy CHRU welcomes an average of 135 visits per day. Approximately 18% are patients over 75 years old, among them 45% go home at the end of their care. The mobile geriatric liaison team intervenes with these patients at the request of the emergency doctors before they return home in order to identify their fragility and implement appropriate measures.
We wish to know the characteristics of these avoidable passages in order to propose preventive measures upstream of these passages. To do this, we need to know the characteristics of those patients with an avoidable passage.
