Feasibility of the "Preventing functional decline in acutely hospitalized older patients (PREV_FUNC)" study-A three-armed randomized controlled pilot trial.

The result of this pilot study suggests that the trial design is feasible and potentially useful for preventing functional decline in acutely hospitalized older adults. A full-scale trial will, however, require some considerations with respect to routines and logistics. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, 4 May 2022, registration number NCT05366075.
