| Comparison of episodes of delirium related to the radiological procedure at home and in hospital, using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) | Frail patients, especially old ones,often develop delirium or confusion when moved from their usual environment. In home-hospitalized patients with the same risk of developing delirium, according to the Inouye's criteria, we evaluated the onset of a confusional status after X-rays performed at home or in hospital | 24 hours after the radiological procedure |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of direct and indirect costs of the radiological procedures performed at home or in hospital | Evaluation of costs includes: costs for transportation, ambulance, equipment (eg, processing costs), materials (eg, CD), technical staff (eg, radiographers, radiologists); for the control group: costs for working time employed by family members and health staff to bring patients to hospital for X.ray examination |
