Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary outcome is the level of ADL functioning three months post-discharge compared to premorbid functioning, which are measured with the 6-item Katz-ADL index score of the modified Katz-ADL index.
Secondary outcome
Secondary outcomes are health care utilization, health-related quality of life, mortality, and physical performance tests.
Background summary
Over 30% of older patients experience hospitalization-associated disability (HAD) (i.e., loss of independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)) after an acute hospitalization. Despite its high prevalence, the mechanisms that underlie HAD remain elusive. This study aims to unravel the potential mechanisms behind HAD from admission to three months post-discharge.
Study design
1) Within 48 hours after admission;
2) During hospitalization (on Monday, Wednesday and Friday);
3) At discharge;
4) At one month post-discharge;
5) At two months post-discharge;
6) And at three months post-discharge.
Intervention
Not applicable; observational cohort study.
