| Popis: | Determining predictors of mortality among older adults might help identify high-risk patients and enable timely intervention. The aim of the study was to identify which variables predict geriatric outpatient mortality, using routine geriatric assessment tools. We analyzed the data of 1141 patients who were admitted to the geriatric medicine outpatient clinic between 2001 and 2004. Comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed by an interdisciplinary geriatric team. Mortality rate was determined in 2015. The parameters predicting survival were examined. Median age of the patients (415 male, 726 female) was 71.7 years (53–95 years). Mean survival time was 12.2 years (95 % CI; 12–12.4 years). In multivariate analysis, age (OR: 1.16, 95 % CI: 1.09–1.23, p |
