Key result
A high Hospital Admission Risk Profile (HARP) score was associated with higher 365-day mortality compared to a low score (34.8% vs 16.9%, p < .05; OR 3.5) in hospitalized older adults.

High HARP scores were associated with higher post-discharge mortality in older adults; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Cohort (n=474)
Does a high HARP score predict increased mortality in hospitalized older adults aged 70 years or older?
Odds Ratio: 3.5
Absolute Event Rate: 34.8% vs 16.9%
p-value: p=< .05
The HARP score is a simple tool that identifies hospitalized older adults at increased risk for mortality up to 1 year after discharge, which may help guide treatment decisions and goals of care.
Liu et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Hospitalized older adults (n=474). High HARP score vs. Low HARP score was evaluated on overall mortality up to 365 days after hospital discharge (OR 3.5, p=< .05). A high Hospital Admission Risk Profile (HARP) score was associated with higher 365-day mortality compared to a low score (34.8% vs 16.9%, p < .05; OR 3.5) in hospitalized older adults.
