This study explored whether a) older adults classified with MCI experience increased rates of index hospitalization compared to those with normal cognition; b) those with MCI are at greater risk of 30-day readmission to the hospital compared with older adults with normal cognition; and c) living with a proxy modifies the effect of MCI on hospital utilization. en Wake Forest University cognitive impairment geriatrics hospitalization mild cognitive impairment readmission utilization MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AS A PREDICTOR OF HOSPITAL UTILIZATION AND READMISSIONS Thesis Williamson, Jeff D Miller, Mike Easterling, Doug Lovato, James Kritchevsky, Stephen Clinical and Population Translational Sciences 2015-07-10 open.access
