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.
