We sought to develop a risk scoring system for predicting functional deterioration, institutionalization, and mortality. Identifying predictors of poor health outcomes informs clinical decision-making, service provision, and policy development to address the needs of persons at greatest risk for poor health outcomes. Cohort study with 21,257 community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years and older who participated in the 2001–2008 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey. Derivation of the model was conducted in 60% of the sample and validated in the remaining 40%. Multinomial logistic regression model generated β-coefficients which were utilized to create a risk scoring system. Our outcome was instrumental activity of daily living stage transitions (stable/improved function and functional deterioration), institutionalization, or mortality over two years of follow-up. A total of 18 factors were identified for functional deterioration (p<0.05). In the derivation cohort, the likelihood of functional deterioration ranged from 6.27%–33.51%, risk of institutionalization from 0.07%–12.13%, and risk of mortality from 2.13%–31.83%, in comparison with stable/improved function. A risk scoring system predicting Medicare beneficiaries’ risk of functional deterioration, institutionalization, and mortality based on demographic and clinical indicators may feasibly be developed with implications for healthcare delivery.
