Background
Frailty, institutionalization reduction
SYNDROME
Population ageing and the concomitant rise in the number of frail older adults represent a serious health and social care challenge.Frailty is a geriatric syndrome characterized by a diminished capacity to respond to stressors, as a result of a reduced functional reserve.Frailty is highly prevalent among the inpatient hospital setting varying from 27% to 80%.Some evidence has demonstrated the benefits of acute care for the elderly (ACE) units in terms of functional decline and institutionalization reduction in a mid‐term.This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the detection of frailty and intervention on it by a geriatric consultation team in inpatients at non‐geriatric in‐hospital settings,
