Geriatric assessment is an integral part of geriatrics and leads to various improvements in the treatment of geriatric patients.
Analysis of assessment data and patient characteristics in a large inpatient geriatric patient population. Evaluation of data from the Geriatrics in Bavaria Database (GiB-DAT) over 20 years as well as a cross-sectional study from 2020. Presentation of data for patients in inpatient acute geriatrics as well as continuing geriatric rehabilitation.
The number of patient records and participating hospitals has steadily increased for both inpatient care types to 821,913 (status 31 March 2021). The Barthel index and other assessment results show differentiated values between acute geriatrics and continuing geriatric rehabilitation.
The results demonstrate the differences in patient outcomes between the two types of care as well as changes in the setting over time. The constancy of the applied assessment instruments contributes to the comparability of the different hospitals; however, it is necessary to introduce new and alternative assessment instruments and to further develop inpatient geriatrics.
老年评估是老年医学的一个组成部分，可导致老年患者治疗的各种改善。
对大型住院老年患者人群的评估数据和患者特征进行分析。对巴伐利亚老年医学数据库（GiB-DAT）超过 20 年的数据进行评估以及 2020 年的横断面研究。介绍住院急性老年医学和持续老年康复患者的数据。
两种住院治疗类型的患者记录和参与医院的数量都稳步增加，达到 821913 例（截至 2021 年 3 月 31 日）。巴氏指数和其他评估结果显示急性老年医学和持续老年康复之间存在差异。
这些结果表明两种护理类型之间患者结局的差异以及随时间的变化。所应用的评估工具的恒定性有助于不同医院之间的可比性；然而，有必要引入新的和替代的评估工具，并进一步发展住院老年医学。
