Modelo de Asignación Diagnóstica y Terapéutica (MADiT; diagnostic and therapeutic assignment model): Clinical classification and 1-year mortality among older adults admitted to an acute geriatric unit: A prospective cohort study

Background

Older adults admitted to acute geriatric units frequently have multidimensional geriatric vulnerability, including frailty, functional and cognitive impairment, multimorbidity, and nutritional risk. The Modelo de Asignación Diagnóstica y Terapéutica (MADiT; Diagnostic and Therapeutic Assignment Model) is a pragmatic clinical-care classification framework used in routine practice to organise pre-admission multidimensional vulnerability into four ordered categories.
