Multicenter Study Observational Study
180-day risk of mortality in older patients admitted to short-stay units: the 6-Month Short-Stay Unit (6M UCE) Score.
To develop a multidimensional score to assess risk of death for patients of advanced age 180 days after their admission to short-stay units (SSUs). ⋯ The SSU score could be useful for stratifying risk of death within 6 months of SSU admission of older patients, so that type of care can be tailored to risk.

Impact of geriatric assessment variables on 30-day mortality among older patients with acute heart failure.
To study the impact of geriatric assessment variables on 30-day mortality among older patients with acute heart failure (AHF). ⋯ Certain geriatric variables should be considered when assessing short-term risk in older patients with AHF.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation theory with face-to-face versus audiovisual instruction for secondary school students: a randomized controlled trial.
To compare secondary students' learning of basic life support (BLS) theory and the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) through face-to-face classroom instruction versus educational video instruction. ⋯ No significant differences between face-to-face instruction and audiovisual instruction for learning BLS and AED theory were found in secondary school students either immediately after instruction or 2 months later.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Classification of the severe trauma patient with the Abbreviated Injury Scale: degree of correlation between versions 98 and 2005 (2008 update).
To explore differences in severity classifications according to 2 versions of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS): version 2005 (the 2008 update) and the earlier version 98. To determine whether possible differences might have an impact on identifying severe trauma patients. ⋯ The 2008 update of the AIS (version 2005) classified fewer trauma patients than version 98 at the severity levels indicated by the ISS and NISS.

[Competence of triage nurses in hospital emergency departments].
To identify associations between sociodemographic characteristics variables and competence levels of triage nurses in hospital emergency departments. ⋯ The competence of triage nurses and their perception of confidence when performing triage increases with emergency department experience and training.
