Sponsor's own description

Several studies have shown that going to the emergency room is a risk factor for loss of independence in the elderly. It has been shown that the period following an emergency room visit without hospitalization is a period of vulnerability for the elderly. The functional decline, or loss of functional autonomy, of the elderly is associated with an increase in institutionalization, mortality and costs to society. Studies have highlighted the risk factors for functional decline in the elderly, such as pre-existing functional and cognitive decline, undernutrition, but no model of care has yet prevented the risk of loss of autonomy after a stay in the emergency room. A full and early geriatric assessment could prevent functional decline after the emergency room visit. The primary objective of the study is to assess the impact of a dedicated geriatric sector on the functional decline at 1 month of patients admitted to emergencies without hospitalization by comparing an intervention group (patient having benefited from the geriatric sector) and a group witness ("classic" emergency patient). The secondary objective is to evaluate the impact of this sector on the number of falls at home as well as the readmission rate within 1 month of going to the emergency room.
