Association of BMI ‐Adjusted Calf Circumference and Age‐Specific Cutoff Values With In‐Hospital Falls Among Older Adults
Verifying Family Authenticity in End‐of‐Life Care
In the terminal stage of illness, it is important to respect the patient's wishes, including those based on religious beliefs. However, in patients with advanced dementia, it can be difficult to confirm their wishes regarding end-of-life care. In such cases, healthcare professionals must often rely on family members or close acquaintances to infer the patient's previously expressed preferences. Nevertheless, if the family exploits the patient's c…
Nonlinear Associations Between Frailty and Medication Burden in Hospitalized Older Adults
International Comparison of Benzodiazepine Prescription for Older Adults in Acute Care Hospitals
Benzodiazepines (BZD) are harmful to older adults. They are associated with increased mortality [1], and increased hospitalization-associated complications (HAC), such as delirium [2] and falls [3]. Despite these known adverse events, BZD use remains prevalent in older adults and represents a potentially modifiable risk factor for adverse outcomes. Although acute care hospitals are at particularly high risk for HAC from BZD usage, there has been …
A High Geriatric Depression Scale Score on Admission to Hospital Predicts a Worse Clinical Frailty Scale Score After Discharge
Falls in community‐dwelling prefrail older adults
Frailty has been established as a risk factor for falls, and prefrailty also seems a risk; however, few studies have focused on the association between falls and each of the five components of frailty proposed by Fried. In the present study, we sought to elucidate the association between prefrailty and falls, and moreover, the association of frailty component with falls. Participants were community-dwelling older people who had cognitive complain…
