Conclusion
Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed by a geriatric team in frail older inpatients in non‐geriatric wards, both medical and surgical, and in ER, followed by a multidimensional intervention is beneficial in preventing not only functional decline at 3 months of follow‐up, but also mortality. This fact is especially true when the recommendations are followed by other specialists. These findings support the need of detecting frailty in all older patients admitted to hospital and the benefit of incorporating a comprehensive approach and treatment to improve their outcomes.
