Biography

Søren Kabell Nissen is a geriatrician based in the Emergency Department (ED), focusing on providing timely and relevant prognostic information for older patients. His research emphasizes the clinical utility of prognostic models tailored for geriatric patients within EDs, with significant work on frailty-adjusted prognosis, nationwide implementation of frailty assessments, and validation of prognostic models. Nissen is also concerned with frailism, a behavioral bias that leads to the exclusion of older individuals from treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care, akin to ageism. In addition to his academic contributions, he holds a specialist position in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Odense University Hospital. Nissen actively engages in research and collaborations in geriatrics and emergency medicine, frequently presenting at conferences and contributing to discussions on acute geriatric care and quality assurance. His commitment to improving care for elderly patients is evident through his research interests and teaching activities, particularly regarding interrater reliability in mobility assessment methodologies used in EDs.
