Feasibility of Assessing Older Patients in the Acute Setting: Findings From the Copenhagen PROTECT Study

Older patients are typically underrepresented in clinical trials despite representing a major proportion of the patient population. We aim to describe the feasibility of performing body composition measures, physical function measures, and patient-reported questionnaires within the first 24 hours of admission in a large sample of older acutely admitted medical patients. In addition, we aim to characterize patients with missing measurements.
