1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesTo evaluate the association of the Hospital Admission Risk Profile (HARP) score with mortality after discharge in a population of hospitalized older adults.

designRetrospective cohort study.

participantsHospitalized patients aged 70 years or older. MEASUREMENTS: Patient age at the time of admission, modified Folstein Mini-Mental Status Exam score, and self-reported instrumental activities of daily living 2 weeks prior to admission were used to calculate a HARP score. The primary outcome assessed was overall mortality up to 365 days after hospital discharge. Cox proportional hazard analyses evaluated the association between HARP score and mortality adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities associated with increased mortality.

resultsOf the 474 patients, 165 (34.8%) had a low HARP score, 177 (37.4%) had an intermediate, and 132 (27.8%) had a high score. HARP score was not associated with differences in 30-day readmission rates. High HARP score patients had higher mortality when compared to patients with low HARP scores at all time frames (30 days: 12.9% vs 1.8%,

conclusionThe HARP score is a simple and easy to use instrument that identifies patients at increased risk for mortality after hospital discharge. Early identification of patients at increased risk for mortality has the potential to help guide treatment decisions following hospital discharge and provides additional information to providers and patients for shared decision making and may help in clarifying and achieving patient and family goals of care.
