Identifying Key Predictors of Appropriate Discharge Destinations for Older Inpatients in Acute Care: Scoping Review
This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of predictors for appropriate discharge decisions in older adults in acute care, stratified by destination, age, study origin, and the predictor domains most concordant with the literature. The results will be valuable to inform the choice of features for clinical decision support systems, including the training of machine learning algorithms.
