Abstract
For older adults, an emergency department (ED) encounter has been associated with adverse outcomes including functional decline, increased health care utilization, nursing home admission, and mortality. ED utilization is increasing rapidly in this population, and previous studies have identified self-reported data, including sex, living status, and functionality, as risk factors for short-term repeat ED visits. Our objective was to assess the association of baseline functional and health status and social engagement with repeat ED visits among older adults.
