U.S., Dec. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07302555) titled 'Outcomes of Patients Over 75 Years of Age Who Consulted the Emergency Department for a Medical Problem' on Dec. 10.
Brief Summary: The increasing activity of emergency departments, coupled with a decrease in the number of hospital beds, is leading to operational changes, of which the Short-Stay Unit (UHCD) is one example. Initially designed for stays of less than 24 hours, it now finds itself providing supplementary hospitalization for downstream services, which is detrimental to the most vulnerable elderly patients.
