Usefulness of the BRIEF-Multidimensional Prognostic Index (BRIEF-MPI) to identify older adults' healthcare needs to be addressed with a Personalized Prevention Program in general practice: preliminary data from the PrimaCare_P3 study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In Europe around 40% of people aged ≥ 65 years are affected by multiple non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) showed its usefulness in early identifying healthcare needs of older people with NCDs to develop a care plan to meet these needs.
