Abstract：
:Functional deficits of elderly patients are often not recognized during routine treatment in acute hospital care. In Germany, there are only limited experiences with the use of standardized assessment-scales in this health care setting. In this study, 112 patients were recruited for a very broad geriatric assessment focused on methodological and practical questions. There were 38.8% with deficits in the ADL and 12.6% with depressive symptoms. Many patients showed low motivational factors such as energy, efficacy and will. Geriatric syndromes such as malnutrition were also very common. In general, many patients in acute care hospitals have functional deficits which are not recognized by the physicians. For many patients, short instruments are sufficient for screening purposes. The effectiveness of a complete geriatric assessment depends mostly on the use of good selection criteria.
