Read the guideline
Abstract
An increasing number of older people are being treated in German hospitals. In 2022, more than 35.7 million hospitalized patients in Germany were of age 65 or older. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) can help to structure and improve the diagnosis and treatment of these patients, many of whom suffer from multimorbidity.
