Predicting Mortality and Costs After Emergency Department Visits by People With Dementia: Timing and Location Matter
Mortality and costs for people with dementia vary by location of care before and after ED encounters, as well as by timing of prior hospitalizations. However, multivariate models using only administrative data lack accuracy, suggesting the need to add pragmatically selected clinical data and/or other measures to better identify the "right patients, at the right time".
