| Summary | Iatrogenic dependence linked to hospitalisation DILH is very frequent, severe but avoidable in 80% of cases. Extensive research has identified 6 main causes of DILH in the elderly, which interact and have common risk factors: immobilisation, falls, undernutrition, de novo urinary incontinence, confusion and drug side-effects. Our main hypothesis is that promoting access to, knowledge of and implementation of good practice recommendations by healthcare staff (medical and paramedical) concerning DILH in the elderly, based on graded interventions and targeting the 6 main causes of DILH, via the TAKE CARE intervention could reduce the incidence of DILH in the population of patients aged 75 or over hospitalised in acute geriatric units excluding post-operative and post-resuscitation, in the con |
