78 geriatric patients predominantly suffering from cardiocerebrovascular diseases (stroke, heart insufficiency) and lesions respectively operations of the locomotion system (fractures, arthroses) were admitted in 1987 from acute hospitals for after-treatment (short-term care). 35 (= 45%) of them (average age 80 (61-92) could be discharged after 63.5 days on average, 11 died from intercurrent complications, 9 remained for long-term care as inrehabilitable. Besides other concomiting troubles mainly cardiac and circulation affections were present in the majority of patients. Their identification (a. o. by means of ultrasonic methods) and therapy also means a secondary prevention of cerebral as well as of fall and injuries inducing risk factors. The results confirm the principal rehabilitation chance of multimorbid geriatric patients by use of the diagnostic and therapeutic special potential of geriatrics.
1987年，78名主要患有心脑血管疾病（中风、心力衰竭）以及分别患有运动系统损伤或接受过手术（骨折、关节病）的老年患者从急症医院转入进行后续治疗（短期护理）。其中35名患者（占45%，平均年龄80岁（61 - 92岁））平均在63.5天后得以出院，11名患者死于并发疾病，9名患者因无法康复而继续接受长期护理。除其他伴随疾病外，大多数患者还存在主要是心脏和循环系统方面的疾病。对这些疾病的识别（尤其是通过超声方法）和治疗也意味着对脑以及跌倒和受伤诱发风险因素的二级预防。结果证实，利用老年医学的诊断和治疗特殊潜力，患有多种疾病的老年患者具有主要的康复机会。
