DEED-FRAIL trial: A cluster-randomized trial of a frailty-oriented multicomponent ED discharge intervention for older adults with geriatric vulnerability and acute heart failure.
To evaluate the impact of the multilevel-guided discharge plan (MGDP) on clinical outcomes in older patients with geriatric vulnerability and acute heart failure (AHF) discharged from the ED. In older patients with geriatric vulnerability and AHF discharged home from the ED or related units, MGDP did not demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in 30-day adverse outcomes.
