Low intrinsic capacity, delirium, and urinary incontinence are associated with poor trajectories of activities of daily living in older patients after discharge

Key Points

• Low intrinsic capacity significantly correlates with decreased activities of daily living trajectories in older patients after discharge.
• Delayed recovery of activities of daily living is observed in older patients suffering from delirium and urinary incontinence post-hospital discharge.
• Assessment using patient outcomes demonstrates that specific factors like low intrinsic capacity can worsen post-discharge recovery in older adults.
• This highlights the need for targeted interventions to address intrinsic capacity, delirium, and urinary incontinence for better post-discharge recovery.
