Geriatric evaluation and management units: experimental methods for evaluating efficacy. Abstract Text:

A multi-site randomized controlled trial could most conclusively establish the efficacy of geriatric evaluation and management units, but many questions must be answered to design such a trial. First, the research questions needs to be rigorously specified. This will facilitate decisions concerning the types of patients to be included in the study. Second, the intervention requires a clear definition, including its component parts, to improve replication across multiple sites. Third, the type of randomization (ie, by hospital or by patient) and the timing of randomization (ie, at admission or at some later point during care) need to be considered. Fourth, because this type of intervention cannot be administered in a blind fashion, bias is a critical concern. Outcome measures must be selected carefully so that those least susceptible to bias are given the highest priority. Despite the need to address all of these questions, the time is upon us to conduct a multi-site trial of geriatric evaluation and management programs.
