受试者从伦敦北部一家大型综合医院（为近150万的初级保健信托（PCT）人口提供服务）招募，为期6个月（2007年6月4日至2007年12月4日）。所有年龄超过70岁的计划外急性入院的患者都有资格进入医疗急性入院单位（MAAU）。MAAU直接从事故急诊科和全科医生（GP）那里接收所有的医疗入院，除了那些需要紧急冠状动脉手术、急性中风患者和外科专科入院的人。如果参与者入院时间< 48小时或英语水平不足以使用混淆评估方法（CAM）进行评估，则将其排除在外[10]。
MethodsSubjects were recruited from a large north London general hospital (serving a primary care trust (PCT) population of almost 1.5 million) over 6 months (4th June 2007 to 4th December 2007). All patients aged over 70 with unplanned acute admission to the Medical Acute Admissions Unit (MAAU) were eligible. The MAAU takes all medical admissions direct from the accident emergency department and general practitioners (GPs), except those requiring urgent coronary artery procedures, acute stroke patients and those admitted to surgical specialities. Participants were excluded if they were admitted for< 48 h or did not speak sufficient English for assessment with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM)[10].
