The Rhabdomyolysis Evaluation in the Emergency Department (REED) Score - a Risk Prediction Model for Older Adults in the Emergency Department With Rhabdomyolysis After Prolonged Immobilisation (Long Lie)
Objectives: 1. Abstract patient level data (e.g. biochemical, demographic, situational, medical history, medication history) from medical records combined with outcomes to understand which variables lead to poor outcomes such as AKI, needing KRT and mortality. 2. Analyse the data using a statistical package (Statistical Package for Social Sciences \[SPSS\]) to develop a RPM with good discriminative abilities \[how well the score can tell high-risk from low-risk patients\]. 3. Demonstrate the ability of the RPM to identify which patients need admission to hospital with treatment and which patients can be safely discharged home.
⁃ The participants need to fulfil all three parts of the inclusion criteria:
• 60 years old or older at time of ED presentation
• Developed rhabdomyolysis (defined as CK \>999U/L)
• Have had a fall and been / suspected to have been on the floor / immobilised in one position for \> 59 minutes.
