Predicting Persistent Reduced Physical Performance in Adults 65+ in Emergency Departments: A Temporal Validation
The initial 4-item prediction did not consistently apply to other populations of older adults. Consequently, 2 samples were combined and a 5-item model was developed. Since the model involves only 5 items, it is easy to implement and provides health professionals an opportunity for targeted intervention on older adults during and after acute hospitalization. A validation study for the 5-item model is necessary.
