Official title

Gait Speed at Discharge as a Marker for Readmission - The GASP Study

Overview

The principal aim is to assess if a simple test, the time it takes to walk 10 meters for a patient about to be discharged after a hospital stay for an acute illness, is related to the risk of readmission.

Primary outcome measures

  • Readmission [Time frame: 30 days]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Readmissions [Time frame: 90,180, 365 days]
  • All-cause mortality [Time frame: 6, 12, 24, 36, 60 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • >50 years of age Patient discharged to home, or temporary short stay nursing home Expected survival >90 days The ability to read or understand the instructions and to give informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Planned hospital stay, i.e. the patient was admitted electively The including investigator is directly involved in the care of the patient

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
