- W2804408749 abstract "Aim Symptom description and degree-of-worry (DOW) by elderly contacting a medical helpline are poorly described.1 Several diagnoses may be associated with preventable admissions for elderly citizens,2 and increased risk of over-and-under-triage.3 We aimed to investigate how symptoms and worry are described by elderly citizens (age 65 and older) when they call a medical hotline. Method A mixed method design on data gathered from a three-week 2017 cohort, where callers rated their DOW on a 1–5 scale. A sub-cohort of 65+years was used. The National Patient Register gave data on admissions. Calls made by the patients (patient-caller) was included for the qualitative analysis (n=90). Results A total of 1530 acutely ill or injured elderly called the medical helpline. n=755 (50%) were patient-callers and n=364 (48%) of these had a high DOW. Of all patient-callers n=216 (28.6%) were triaged to face-to-face consultation and n=73 (9.7%) were subsequently admitted. The preliminary qualitative analysis led to the hypothesis that patient-callers often expressed exacerbation of chronic diseases (which are part of the preventable admission) and often lived alone. Those that were not triaged to face-to-face consultation were frequently offered one, but rejected because of the obstacles of leaving their home. The majority of patient-callers triaged to face-to-face consultation expressed that their general practitioner was not able to help them. Conclusion The majority of the elderly patient-callers was very worried and lived alone. Most of the calls concerned exacerbation of a chronic condition and most of the symptoms fitted the described preventable admission diagnoses. References . Gamst-Jensen H, et al.
