Validation of the acutely presenting older patients tool in a real world setting: results from a large clinical hospital in the Netherlands
This study shows that the APOP screener, when used in the real word, has a fairly high association with three month mortality, even when adjusting for other variables that could indicate frailty. Furthermore the fill-in rate, in the real world, is high which shows that its implementation in a large teaching hospital is feasible.
