Summary

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an established approach for better detection of frailty-related problems and includes individualized treatment plan with multi-discipline supportive and treating measures for the older frailty patients. However, there is limited evidence of feasibility and efficacy of the CGA when provided in the emergency department setting. In the GAOPS-study the efficacy of the CGA in emergency department setting will be studied by randomized controlled study protocol. We aim to study if the CGA provided in the ED is feasible, safe and efficient method when added with standard emergency care for older frail patients.
