New landmark 4AT clinical implementation study
Involving over 18,000 patients with hip fracture, the completion rate for the 4AT was 91%.
A positive 4AT score (seen in 21% of patients) was predictive of key clinical outcomes, including mortality.
Conducted nationally across multiple hospitals.
Further confirms that the 4AT can be successfully implemented at scale in routine clinical practice.
