We analysed the characteristics of patients aged 75 and over admitted to the geriatric and general medical wards over a three month period in a teaching hospital. Patients admitted to the geriatric wards were slightly older, were more often female, more likely to be admitted during the day and during a week day, more likely to have been seen by their own general practitioner, had more chronic and multiple illness with non-specific presentations, and stayed longer in hospital. Referring doctors seem to discriminate between patients needing geriatric care and those more suitable for general medical care, but there is an overlap in the characteristics of the two groups.
我们分析了一家教学医院在三个月内老年病房和普通内科病房收治的75岁及以上患者的特征。入住老年病房的患者年龄稍大，女性更多，更有可能在白天和工作日入院，更有可能看过自己的全科医生，有更多慢性和多种疾病且表现不具特异性，住院时间更长。转诊医生似乎能区分需要老年护理的患者和更适合普通内科护理的患者，但两组患者的特征存在重叠。
