Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI) is a systematic tool based on the CGA framework
Bedside frailty assessment by MPI
The aim was to examine the predictive value of bedside MPI on unplanned hospital readmission in geriatric patients.

Record-based frailty assessment by MPI
The aims were to examine
- the reproducibility and diagnostic accuracy of a comprehensive frailty assessment method based solely on the older medical inpatient’s electronic medical record
- the predictive value of the record-based MPI in terms of mortality, readmission and length of hospital stay

Geriatricians clinical judgement of risk of unplanned readmissions
The aims are to evaluate whether physicians' and geriatricians' clinical judgement
- on patients' readmission risk can predict unplanned readmission in older geriatric patients
- can identify the geriatric patients who benefit from early hospital follow-up visits after hospital discharge
