A Scotland-wide audit of hospital admissions recorded before, during and after the COVID lockdowns has uncovered major differences in geriatric services' performance between all Scottish health boards.
Chair in Old Age Medicine at the University of Aberdeen and SCoOP Steering Group Co-Chair Professor Phyo Myint said,"This report has highlighted the major differences in responses to the pandemic within each Scottish hospital.
Audit Lead and Honorary Clinical Reader at the University, Dr. Roy Soiza, said"There remains unwarranted high variation in outcomes of acute geriatric medicine services across Scottish hospitals, especially with regards to length of stay in hospital. "Future work may allow us to analyze this complex issue where outcomes depend not only on the patients themselves, but also staffing and service level factors, social care settings and this report clearly demonstrates the need for more robust analyses to understand this."
