NCT ID NCT07475442
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people aged 75 and older who visit the emergency department in France. Researchers want to find out which factors best predict whether a patient will be admitted to the hospital. They will test an existing tool called GAPS and also create a new scoring system called PROFACTHOS. The goal is to help doctors make faster, safer decisions for older patients.
