Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to define clinical, biological and socio-cultural criteria, from the very first days of hospitalization on the multidisciplinary medicine department, to guide the patient's discharge from hospital (return to home when discharged from hospital). The data collected will be those contained in the medical records of patients over 60 years of age who were admitted to the multidisciplinary medical department between October 2021 and February 2022 and between October 2022 and February 2023. This study also aims at developing and validating a predictive score of orientation at the end of hospitalisation. Participants are patients previously hospitalized. They will be informed about the study by post and will be able to object to the use of his or her data.
