In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic values of Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS), REMS without age and the HOTEL scores in geriatric patients. Methods This prospective, single-centered, observational study was carried out between the January 15, 2014 February 28, 2014. Patients admitted to the emergency department during the study period and aged 65 years or older were included in the study. Results In total, 939 patients were included in the study.
