Abstract

Considering the limited evidence regarding the factors that contribute to long-term consequences after hospitalization of older people, we analysed the relationship between cognitive performance and hospital-associated complications (HAC). One thousand, three hundred Individuals aged 60 and older (mean age 82.3, 53.3% female), not assigned to palliative care and admitted in medical and surgical wards from a private hospital, were followed up from admission to 30 days after discharge. HAS was evaluated using a multicomponent measure that combines 12 hospital-associated complications (delirium, functional decline, falls, pressure injuries, bronchoaspiration, non-planned ICU transfer, physical restraints, hospital stay > 30 days, death, long-term care transfer, and readmission). Cognitive performance was assessed using the "10-point cognitive screener (10-CS)", which combines temporal orientation, category fluency, and word recall evaluation.
