Description
Wang, Zhang, Cheng, and Deng build a screening model for depression in older hospital patients, in work from twenty twenty-six. Depression is common in older adults and raises illness, death, and care costs. Hospitalized elders are especially vulnerable, yet screening is often skipped.
Clinical data came from more than eleven thousand inpatients aged sixty and up over two years. The team used those records to develop and validate a convenient risk screening tool. A simple score that nurses can apply at admission could flag patients who need full assessment and early support, rather than relying on chance detection.
