Study of Functional Decline and Care Pathways in Neurosurgical Patients Over 65 Years of Age
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
The GENEUS 1 study addresses this gap by characterizing the real-world profiles, outcomes, and care pathways of adults aged 65 years and older hospitalized in neurosurgery across France, Spain, and Portugal. This project represents the first multicentre, transnational initiative to integrate geriatric principles into neurosurgical practice and to evaluate both clinical and economic outcomes in this population.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The evolution of functional autonomy between baseline and 3 months post-discharge — between baseline and 3-month after discharge
The change is measured using validated geriatric scale Basic Activities of Daily Living Functional decline will be defined as any clinically significant decrease in ADL score compared with baseline. The change will be expressed both as a continuous variable (score variation) and as a categorical outcome (improved / stable / declined autonomy). This criterion captures the short-term functional trajectory of older adults after a neurosurgical hospitalization and serves as the main indicator of care effectiveness and adaptation to geriatric needs.
