Abstract

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Patient reported outcomes (PROs) provide unique insight to the patients experience with their healthcare related quality of life QoL. This study aims to 1. Characterize geriatric trauma patients’(GTPs) perceived QoL, at time of injury vs. 3- and 6-months post-injury. 2. Introduce and validate a PROs tool, known as the Five Favorite Activities. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a prospective cohort study of older adults (≥65) presenting to our trauma center with mild traumatic brain injury and/or mild spine, thoracic or extremity fractures. Participants will be asked to complete the NIH-validated Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Information System (PROMIS)-29, PROMIS Cognitive and Functional Abilities, Life-Space Levels and Five Favorite Activities assessment (a list of the five favorite overall and daily activities) tools. Cognitive function will be measured using Montreal Cognitive Assessment tool. Physical function will be evaluated using the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care 6-click tool. Patients will be contacted at 3- and 6- months post discharge and asked to complete the assessment tools listed above to evaluate changes in QoL during the recovery process. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that geriatric trauma patients will experience a decline in QoL, physical and cognitive function post-injury. This decline will be associated with a decrease in return to the ability to participate in their pre-injury Five Favorite Activities . DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: First, this study is one of the first to evaluate PROMs in GTPs. Second, the Five Favorite Activities PROM, will provide a unique, direct and individualized characterization of what GTPs find important to their recovery post injury compared to the current generic PROMs. This information can be utilized in the future to align goal of care with expectations
