NCT ID NCT02949635

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at over 3,500 older adults (75+) after they left the hospital to better predict their risks of dying, being readmitted, or moving to a nursing home. Researchers used advanced statistical models to account for how these events affect each other. The goal is to help doctors and families make more informed decisions about post-hospital care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors better predict outcomes for older patients after hospital discharge, leading to more informed care decisions.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve patient health. The models may not be accurate for all patients or settings.
