Over half (52%) of 295 older people who died within 48 h of ED presentation had one or more prior ED visits and/or hospitalisations. Management of some symptoms common at the end of life (including dyspnoea, anxiety and agitation) with medications, and PRN prescribing of these, occurred less frequently in ED compared to the wards.

Introduction Globally our population is ageing. Older adults are identified by the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO) as individuals as being 60 years and older [1,2]. By 2050 the number of older adults is projected to reach 2.1 billion [2]. The care of older adults is challenging due to complex multidimensional medical, psychosocial and physiological age-related changes [3].
