To examine the effectiveness of acupressure on cognition and quality of life (QoL) among older adults with cognitive disorders residing in long-term care (LTC) settings.
To examine whether delirium predicts occurrence of hospital-associated disability (HAD), or functional decline after admission, among hospitalized older adults.
Sarcopenia is associated with significantly higher mortality risk, and earlier detection of sarcopenia has remarkable public health benefits. However, the model that predicts sarcopenia in the community has yet to be well identified. The study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting the risk of sarcopen...
The benefit-risk ratio of many interventions remains unclear in older adults with dementia. Efforts for more representative trial inclusion are made; however, recruiting and particularly gaining informed consent remains complex. For research participation, dementia compels the designation of a legal guardi...

People with dementia often receive suboptimal EOL care; thus, they may be at particular risk of poor care quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. T...
Sepsis survivors discharged to post-acute care facilities experience high rates of mortality and hospital readmission. This study compared the effects of a Sepsis Transition and Recovery (STAR) program vs usual care (UC) on 30-day mortality and hospital readmission among sepsis survivors discharged to post...
We examined the frequency and categories of end-of-life care transitions among assisted living community decedents and their associations with state staffing and training regulations.
To examine racial/ethnic differences in risk factors, and their associations with COVID-19–related outcomes among older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).
