A team from the University of Ottawa, in Ontario, Canada, says its Risk Evaluation for Support: Predictions for Elder-Life in the Community Tool (RESPECT) can accurately project death within six months.
Researchers based the tool on data from more than 491,000 elderly people who received home care between 2007 and 2013.
The team says its tool is undergoing a pilot study in community settings in Ontario and hopes that physicians and home care staff use the calculator to help them understand the care their patients may need.
Researchers say the tool focuses on older adults who use or need home care and are likely to die within the next five years.

Hahahahahahaha!
4.7 yers to go. So, the NSA who is monitoring my stuff only needs hire short term employees.
Love your comment ...
It just gives you the odds of the next 5 years. I’m 54 and have a 96% chance of my kids draining my bank account another 5 years.
They should post the checklist next to the bananas.
If you don’t die when you’re supposed to, then they give you an extra special jab.
Bambi’s Mom cartoon is in my head...
You win the thread!
Whoo!
The answer to all questions should be: “I’m feeling much better now!”
They cannot and will not know and this is only going to be used as a tool to push euthanasia. Gotta get rid of the useless eaters who are getting social security and medicare.
This is a pretty useless tool. I took the test and here’s the result:
All it tells me is my chances of living past 5 more years are good.
