Why the study?

Does the Probability of Repeated Admission (Pra) questionnaire predict future healthcare use in older persons compared to age and sex alone?

Structured PICO

Does the Probability of Repeated Admission (Pra) questionnaire predict future healthcare use in older persons compared to age and sex alone?

Population

9,713 independently living community-dwelling people aged 65 and older

Intervention

Probability of Repeated Admission (Pra) questionnaire (self-administered eight-item tool)

Comparator

Prediction models based on a person's age and sex alone

Outcome

Self-reported number of hospital admissions and physician visits during 1 year of follow-up

The self-administered Pra questionnaire is a valid tool for predicting future hospital admissions and high physician utilization in community-dwelling older adults across different European healthcare systems.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May aid risk stratification in older adults; extends validation across systems yet leaves open effects on outcomes or practice change.
