Summary

This study looked at over 140,000 people aged 65 and older who visited emergency departments in Spain. Researchers created models to predict which patients might have poor outcomes, such as needing intensive care or dying. They used vital signs, medical history, and a frailty scale to build these models. The goal is to improve triage and care for older adults in the future.
