To investigate the association between a wide set of baseline characteristics (age, sex, rehabilitation discipline), functional scores [Functional Independence Measure (FIM), cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS)], diseases, and administered drugs and incident delirium in rehabilitation inpatients and, fu...
A web-based application was developed for medical staff to easily access and use a comprehensive delirium prevention management program—comprising risk prediction, assessment, and intervention—even in long-term care facilities with insufficient systems.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA), a multicomponent, complex intervention, can be used to improve perioperative outcomes. This study aimed to describe the actions and interventions prompted by preoperative CGA and optimization in elective noncardiac, older, surgical patients.
This paper uses deep (machine) learning techniques to develop and test how motor behaviors, derived from location and movement sensor tracking data, may be associated with falls, delirium, and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in long-term care (LTC) residents.
Delirium is known to contribute to increased rates of institutionalization and mortality. The full extent of adverse outcomes, however, remains understudied. We aimed to systematically assess the discharge destinations and mortality risk in delirious patients in a large sample across all hospital services....
To assess the independent effect of delirium on mortality and disability after 1 year of follow-up, in consecutive older patients with hip fracture hospitalized for surgical repair.
Delirium is commonly seen in older adults with multimorbidity, during a hospitalization, resulting from the interplay between predisposing factors such as advanced age, frailty, and dementia, and a series of precipitating factors. The association between delirium and specific multimorbidity is largely unex...
