Reducing avoidable hospital transfers among nursing home (NH) residents remains a critical priority, with 20% to 67% of transfers potentially preventable. Despite evidence that embedded advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and enhanced resources reduce transfers, chronic underinvestment leaves NHs w...
US nursing home residents experience a disproportionate burden of COVID-19–associated cases and hospitalizations. COVID-19 vaccination may reduce the burden in this population; however, data on the association between vaccine uptake and outcomes for this vulnerable population are lacking.
The prescribing patterns of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in real-world clinical practice remain inadequately characterized. To address this gap, this meta-analysis aims to synthesize evidence on the prescription trends and clinical factors associated with SGLT2 inhibitor use.
Cardiovascular health (CVH), defined by the American Heart Association, aims to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths and improve overall health. Poor oral health, including tooth loss, is increasingly linked to higher CVD risk. However, the effects of specific partial tooth loss patterns on CVH remai...
Because older adults may present with atypical symptoms of infection, accurate thresholds for fever are critical for diagnosis and treatment. Accuracy of oral thresholds for rectal fever detection in older adults and those with frailty has not been well described in the hospital setting. The study's a...
Previous studies have investigated quality improvement in the care for older people; however, there remains a need to identify the factors that influence interprofessional quality improvement. This study aims to study the facilitators and barriers for interprofessional quality improvement in the care for o...
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) -based interventions on cognitive function and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It also explored the influence of intervention frequency, duration, and total length on...
