Popis: To determine objective and subjective indications of quality of life in hospitalized geriatric patients.Data were collected on 267 items using standardized interviews of 90 patients, including B-L and SF-36.In comparison to the control population, geriatric patients have worse SF-36 values; 91% have pain, and 63% depression and elevated B-L values. Pain therapy is usually with non-opiates and with warm/cold physical therapies.Pain therapy in the geriatric population surveyed does not reach the same standard as is usually offered to hospitalized medical and surgical patients.
