Follow-up

24 months

Overview

Severe disability and depression were associated with higher mortality in multimorbid inpatients; leaves open whether targeting these improves survival.

Structured PICO

P
Population
201 multimorbid inpatients from a hospitalist's ward
O
Outcome
In-hospital mortality and periodic mortality after discharge (3, 6, 12, and 24 months)hard clinical

In multimorbid inpatients, severe ADL dependence strongly predicts in-hospital mortality, whereas self-reported depression is a significant predictor of long-term (12- and 24-month) mortality.
