To analyze the predictive validity and reliability of the Blaylock Risk Assessment Screening Score (BRASS) Index in a large group of patients.
Prospective multicenter observational study was conducted in six Italian hospitals. Data were collected in three phases.
Seven hundred eleven patients were recruited. The mean length of hospitalization for low-risk patients was significantly shorter than those in the medium and high-risk groups. Patients with a BRASS Index lower than 10, unlike those with a higher BRASS Index, were mainly discharged home.
Our results indicate that the BRASS Index is useful to identify patients at risk for prolonged hospitalization.
The use of a validated BRASS instrument can be useful to screen the patients, improving individual discharge planning.
分析布莱洛克风险评估筛查评分(BRASS)指数在一大群患者中的预测效度和可靠性。
在意大利的六家医院进行了前瞻性多中心观察性研究。分三个阶段收集数据。
招募了711名患者。低风险患者的平均住院时间明显短于中风险和高风险组的患者。BRASS指数低于10的患者,与BRASS指数较高的患者不同,主要是出院回家。
我们的结果表明,BRASS指数有助于识别有延长住院风险的患者。
使用经过验证的BRASS工具可有助于筛查患者,改善个性化出院计划。
