Geriatric conditions are highly prevalent in acutely hospitalized older patients and are associated with poor health outcomes, highlighting the need for early recognition.

Geriatric conditions were highly prevalent and associated with poor health outcomes after admission. Early recognition of these conditions in acutely hospitalized older patients and improving the handover to the general practitioner could lead to better health outcomes and reduce the burden of hospital admission for older patients.
