Identification précoce du profil gériatrique en salle d'urgences: Présentation de la grille SEGA

Context: The number and proportion of frail elder patients admitted to hospital without warning, often via casualties, are increasing. Early identification of geriatric profile and associated risks should contribute both to improving the orientation to appropriate services and to the rapid initiation of necessary interventions in order to prevent functional complications and prepare discharge so as to avoid prolonged stays. Methods: We developed a tool called SEGA, which evaluates the geriatric profile of older patients admitted in casualty. From data found in relevant literature, the advice of experts and the data from the cohort Declic, the tool was used prospectively in the casualty ward of a Belgian university hospital. Results: The utilisation of SEGA was judged feasible in this context. Approximately, ten minutes are necessary to supply data. The final score is closely linked to several predictors of geriatric frailty. Conclusion: The tool is easy to use in the context casualty admissions and could contribute to improving the management and orientation of frail older adults admitted to emergency department
