Geriatric giants - contemporary occurrence in 12,210 in-patients
Original language description
OBJECTIVES: With advancing age, the degree of dependency and occurrence of great geriatric syndromes (GS), also referred to as geriatric giants, grow substantially. DESIGN: The prospective cohort study was aimed at conducting an analysis and comparison of geriatric syndromes (geriatric giants) among different age groups at admission to the acute geriatric department. SETTING, PARTICIPANTS: Between 1995 and 2012, we had altogether 12,210 elderly patients at an average age of 80.5 +/- 7.0 y (range 65-103y) hospitalised at the Department of Geriatrics. We divided the patient set into three different age subgroups (65-74 y; 75-84 y and >= 85 y; e.g. 21.4 %; 47.9 % and 30.7 %) and compared the results among them. RESULTS: 3,787 persons (31.0 %) were without any GS. The growing tendency of the occurrence of all geriatric syndromes in combinations with increased age (p < 0.001) is obvious.
