Summary

This study tests a nurse-led program called INFA that screens frail older adults (age 65+) in the hospital for issues like falls, confusion, and malnutrition. Based on the screening, nurses start simple treatments and refer complex cases to a geriatric team. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients maintain their ability to do daily activities six months after leaving the hospital, compared to usual care. About 300 participants are enrolled from medical and surgical wards.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
INFA Program (nurse-led frailty screening and multidisciplinary care)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could become a standard way to identify and support frail older adults in hospitals, helping them maintain independence after discharge.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage implementation study, not a drug trial. Results may vary across hospitals, and the program may not significantly improve outcomes compared to usual care.
