Predictors of mortality among elderly dependent home care patients

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The purpose of this study is to identify which variables -among those commonly available and used in the primary care setting- best predict mortality in a cohort of elderly dependent patients living at home (EDPLH) that were included in a home care program provided by Primary Care Teams (PCT). Additionally, we explored the risk of death among a sub-group of these patients that were admitted to hospital the year before they entered the home care program.
